Dizzy Daisy Downtown Hostel - Kraków is the Krakow outpost of a successful and well-run chain that also operates in a few cities in Eastern Europe. It is a super cute hostel in a lovely building, although the neighborhood is a bit out of the way. Reception is open twenty-four hours. They do not require a deposit for keys and the hostel accepts credit card payments. Towels are not included in the nightly rate.
The Location
The hostel is located ten minutes on foot from the center on a residential street with not much going on. The surrounding neighborhood is easy to navigate and feels safe.
Rooms and Bathrooms
The dorm is massive (it fits two couches and a coffee table in addition to five bunk beds) and has hardwood floors, which are beautiful but also very creaky; the bunks are also super creaky and you can feel everything your neighbor does and you can hear everyone moving about. Beds (which are not made for you) are metal Ikea bunk beds and are each supplied with a light, shelf, and power outlet. Storage lockers comfortably store forty liters worth of stuff. Curtains do not cover the entire window and the door to the dorm lets in light from the hall. This is definitely the dorm for which you want to have your eye-mask and earplugs.
Bathrooms are clean and they feel like you're in a school or an actual college dorm. The showers run out of hot water in the mornings, so make sure you either shower before bed or before anyone else wakes up in the morning. For ladies, there isn't that much space to do your makeup.
Common Spaces
Common space is large, bright, and cozy. They've installed lighting in dark corners -- you can tell they put some thought into this. The kitchen is gets a bit crowded. There's a lovely courtyard that leads to the reception -- it's a good place for smokers. The hostel is a bit of a maze, spread out between two sections of a large building. If you are in the dorm you have to go through the courtyard to access reception, the kitchen, and the common area, which could be burdensome come winter.
There is very good, strong, and fast Wi-Fi throughout the dorms and common areas, which is great as it is hard to find good, strong Wi-Fi at hostels in Krakow. Luggage storage is also available.
Summary
This is a bit overpriced. The hostel is super cute and spacious and beautifully designed, but it is far from the center. You could pay the same price and stay in a more accessible area. The creaky floors are really tough to deal with. The 10 a.m. checkout is a bit brutal, but Dizzy Daisy is part of a chain and this is something all their locations have in common.
