The Atlantis Hostel is ideally located only a couple of minutes walk from both the fantastic Krakow old town and the nightlife of the Jewish quarter. A fifteen-minute walk (following the directions on Hostelz.com or from the free map available at the station) or a four-stop tram ride will find you buzzing into a large building with good hostel signage.
The newly renovated dorms are located on two floors of the building, each floor with its own large unisex bathroom, which has strong hot showers. The rooms are clean and very spacious with each bunk being allocated a locker big enough for an 80L pack. There are rooms of different sizes available --some are street facing while the others face a huge rear garden which is quiet and provides views of the Wavel Castle. The twenty-four-hour reception provides all the travel, city, and tour information you could need with a free Internet station available for use.
Each floor has an area where you can make tea and coffee but there is no kitchen or common area, which is a drawback for this hostel. A small table in dorm rooms end up being the center of social activity, which is not ideal but is ok for sharing a story and a beer with fellow travellers. If you don't plan on using a kitchen and would prefer to do your swapping of tales in a nearby bar, you will have no issues with the lack of common area. Overall this is a very comfortable place to stay in a great location.
