The Dizzy Daisy Hostel Pedzichow is the ideal place if you are looking for a base for partying all night in the nearby, awesome Krakow clubs and then chilling out and watching one of the many movie channels all day. It's a big hostel, spread across different buildings but with a central communal quad, which would be great in summer but only used by the smokers in winter. Hopefully they'll eventually ban smoking inside for the comfort of everyone. The lounge has TV and internet and is open plan to the kitchen and dining room so it is easy to meet people.
If you are not looking for a party hostel, this is still a great place with free internet, free laundry and breakfast, though the breakfast is in the next-door restaurant and is basic. The hostel location is ideal -- it's very close to the old town, trams, train, and bus station as well as a very big shopping mall if you're looking for the usual modern goods.
The kitchen is small and simple but more than sufficient. There tends to be a shortage of toilets, but there are enough showers and everything is kept clean enough. The dorm rooms are large and spacious and occasionally accompanied by a sweet, crazy cleaning lady who comes in at 10:30 a.m. and shouts at everyone in Polish! Good lockers are part of the deal and each dorm is locked separately within each locked apartment within the locked complex so it is quite a secure hostel (and there's no curfew).
