Hostel Giraffe is a new hostel -- it opened at the beginning of summer 2006. Consistently ranked in the top hostels of Krakow, it surely lives up to its hype. Owned by two couples, it is a warm and inviting hostel that we highly recommend.
Each guest has her own locker, free laundry, several computers with free Internet, wireless Internet, a full-service bar, many many boardgames, a wide selection of movies on the big screen, decent (if small and lacking some essential pots and pans) kitchen, and free breakfast.
The staff is extremely friendly, even willing to take you out on the town on their nights off or after their shifts end. They are knowledgeable and passionate about their town and able to help find the right tour, trip or bus for you. Just ask them and they will help!
The Giraffe's motto is "head and shoulders above the rest." With dorms beds at 50 zl, this motto is right on. We recommend this hostel for those looking for a more social Krakow experience -- there are plenty of travelers in this hostel dying to experience the legendary Krakow cellar bars and clubs. So quiet travelers, tired people, and families beware.
