Excellent! Great hostel, I felt like in my own home. Huge breakfast, and helpful staff. I'm sure that I'll be back! — Bogumiiła , Poland (2008-04-06) Better than almost any I have visited! What can I say? I loved this hostel and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. They were like a surrogate family for all of us there and provided a wonderful, huge breakfast. The place was also very, very clean and I stayed in a single room for only $37 a night. The accolades could go on forever! — W Fowler , USA (2008-03-10) Elephant on the Moon Hostel is the best hostel I was staying in during my trip.
Hostel is located on Salwator – I think one of the most beautiful areas in Krakow. It's about 3 minutes walk from the tram terminal which makes it really easy to get wherever you want. A 15 minute walk in to the old town and the walk along the river to get there provides beautiful scenery for a Wawel Castle.
The rooms are fantastic and incredibly clean. Bathroom is shared with everyone but it is worth it – the mirror in the shower is fantastic.
Kitchen is small but full of free 24 hours available food and non-alkohol drinks.
Sitting area provides TV, DVD movies, games, bookcrossing,which is a kind of library where you can leave book you have already read and take one in return. There is also an internet free of charge. You can find there 24 hour open shop Under the two goldfish that have fallen in love and adopted the tip-loving Long John, which provide you stamps, postcards, traditional gifts from Krakow and any other products usefull at the moment.
In hostel there is a beautifull garden. You can sit in a comfortable armchair and do nothing – just feel the local atmosphere. In the garden there is also a spring – wather, where you can put money and – according to Greg's story - it will bring you good luck for the rest of your trip. Aga says that it will drive off bad weather.
Like in every other hostels they offer you free breakfast but in Elephant on the Moon breakfast is huge! They offer you 3 types of cornflakes, variety of cottage cheese, jams, honey, butter, pâté, tradicional polish bread...
In hostel there is also free car parking, free linen and towels. There is no curfew or lockouts – every guests has his own key and can came back any time thay want.
But what's the best in this hostel is a staff. Very welcoming, creative, friendly & multilingual, and if you speak the language they don't know there is always sign and picturial languages in which they are very fluent as well ;).
They really know the most interesting places in Krakow, the best to eat and the best bars, and if you want to go clubbing they know the wildest clubs.
Elephant on the Moon is just like they say – the best place to simply relax and enjoy you holiday. — Greta , Italy (2007-08-09) The Best hostel in the world !!!! Really. You love it as me:) — Gregory (2007-03-17) As described, a home away from home. Maybe a bit too homey at times, the owners are around quite a lot so be prepared to be sitting opposite them at breakfast! The room was comfortable and extremely clean. The location isn't great and no trams run there after 11 p.m. at night so you have to rely on taxis but for a short trip to Krakow it's fine. Place is a bit hard to find so be prepared! — Claire (2006-10-21)
