The Hostelz.com Review
Cracow Hostel is one of three hostels that are on the main market square, but the only one that has a window opening out onto the square. You have to walk through a cafe to get to hostel and through a metal gate.
The Location
The hostel is located on the market square -- you can’t get closer to the sights. With so many things to see in Krakow, being so close saves you time getting back from exploring the city and going out. The metal gate and cameras keeps the guests safer than most hostels.
Rooms and Bathrooms
The dorm rooms have lots of space to walk around and most have windows looking out onto the market square. The mattress could be better, though. The rooms and bathrooms are clean, with the bathrooms set up like in school with stalls for toilets and showers with doors and sinks inside them.
Common Spaces
There are two common places to sit, one at check in with a PC to use and a great view of square out two windows, and one on top floor where breakfast is served. The breakfast they offer is very good, with cereals, cheese, bread, orange juice, ham -- all you can eat! The kitchen has a flat screen with TV stations on it and both areas are always filled with guests drinking and talking so it is easy to meet up with people here. They could use more conformable sitting in the kitchen but overall the common spaces are great for meeting people.
Summary
Overall this hostel is a good choice in a city with so many hostels. The location makes seeing the city easy, and the social common rooms will have you making friends in no time. They leave out apples and other fruit as well as cookies for you to snack on -- a nice touch. The hostel also promotes a lot of activities around the city, which keeps you busy as well. We would stay here again.

Cracow Hostel Reviews from the WebHostelz.com Guest Reviews
Great You can enter from the front entrance on the main square at any time. We did it at 4 a.m. The staff were extremely helpful, telling us the best places to eat, drink, and have fun. Dorm room was great apart from bastard who walked in at 3 a.m. every morning and turned on the lights. But he's not a permanent feature so this hostel was amazing. — aussies , Australia (2007-10-14)
