I lived in a dorm with 12 beds in may 2012, there were only a few other guests beside from me (1,666 people in average). Beds are ok, toilet and shower nice and clean. Friendly staff. Breakfast was surprisingly good, compared with the low price! MAX value for money!

Stayed in room 102, which had 3 beds + a wardrobe, there was also a shower... More

City Hostel in Krakow is a fantastic, no frill hostel conveniently located near Old Town - close enough to the actions but away from drunken tourists and loud noises. The staff is absolutely delightful, helpful, and very accommodating to all our needs. We originally only booked for one night at this hostel but immediately decided to stay at this place... More

The hotel is located within the old city walls and just 10 minutes from Krakow Glowny Station. The guests are mainly British, Poles and Spaniards. Double room which I occupied was small and had only basic equipment like comfortable new beds, chairs, a table and a wardrobe, and also had a washbasin and a shower. There was no radio or... More

This hostel was good, we had a 6 bed private room, which had its own en-suite shower, with toilet in the corridor. Although I can't understand why if you make the effort to put a shower in the room, why not a toilet as well? But oh well, both shower and toilet were clean. The room itself was clean too,... More
