Cracow Hostel Reviews

Cracow Hostel is a well-run hostel in a superb location that is housed in a lovely old building that is well maintained with high ceilings. Dorms are on the fourth floor of the building; the staircase is narrow and there is no lift. Once on the fourth floor, the space itself is open and inviting.

The Location

This is located right in the market square. Right outside of the hostel are the picturesque restaurants lining the square, and from the hostel you can see St. Mary's Basilica. This is the place to stay for those who like to be right in the heart of things.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The dorms are on the dark side. They have wooden bunks with spring mattresses. The mattresses themselves are quite old and not terribly comfortable. There are no lights or shelves, but there is a sufficient amount of power outlets. Each bunk has a locker with lock -- it's spacious enough to store a large-ish carry-on bag. There are two small hooks for each bunk, and beds are made for you. Towels are available for a fee.

There are five showers for the entire floor, three of which are enclosed in full baths, which limits their versatility, but it's not usually a problem. The hostel as a whole is a little dark.

Common Spaces

There is a large common area where guests can also store their luggage prior to check-in and after check-out. This room has an incredible view of the square. The Wi-Fi is solid (it works quite well but does not quite extend to the far corners of the hostel) and there are drinks for sale. This room also has a computer for shared use.

On the top floor, the kitchen is very large and spacious. There are two small couches where guests can enjoy some of the complimentary coffee and/or tea, a small dining table, and one large wooden picnic table with benches. This space is really lovely and inviting. Breakfast -- included in the rate -- consists of bread, cheese, coffee, tea, cereal, milk, and fresh eggs that guests are welcome to prepare however they see fit.

There are no deposits required for keys. Reception is a little relaxed about payment, and you have the option of paying at check-in or at checkout. This hostel accepts credit card payments.

Summary

This is a solid choice. Providing breakfast is a very nice touch, and including eggs with said breakfast is a welcome change from processed cold cuts. The toilets and showers look like university dorm baths but are clean, spacious, and adequate in number.
