Guest Reviews
- Detko (3/5): -
- Nele (5/5): - Very central location, cheap No key to the front door or shared room, they're just open, and not enough bathrooms. Some kinda shady guests, which isn't the hostel's fault by itself. But my headphones disappeared from the socket by my (upper!) bunk bed where they were charging while I was asleep and when I tried to contact the staff to find out if they had a lost-and-found or something I never even got a reply. They probably got stolen anyways but it's still disappointing to get ghosted by an accommodation like that!
- Jakub (6/5): W porzadku - Hostel jak hostel, utrzymany porządek, brak dziwnych sytuacji. Proste zasady , można spokójnie wrocic. Wyspać się i działać dalej. Położenie bardzo dobre. Centrum Krakowa. Obskubane kible kupeczka. Czasem jest szczotka.
- Tom (6/5): - Facile d'accès et bon emplacement Chambre assez étroite pour le nombre de lits, odeurs assez nauséabondes dans la chambre / manque d'aération et salle de bains passable

The location was convenient, the room was clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was very pleasant. The staff were friendly, professional, and always ready to help. Everything was well organized and maintained. I truly enjoyed my stay and would happily return. Highly recommended. Everything was excellent!
- Jacek Kamycki (5/5): - Tylko to że wszędzie blisko Pościel może i czystą ale już nie pierwszej jakości i świeżości. Lodówka śmierdzi w środku. Prysznice ciasne
- Joaquin (3/5): -
- Dmytro (1/5): - Pokój nie wygląda tak jak na zdjęciach, jest bardzo mało miejsca, bo ustawiono tam zbyt wiele łóżek. W pokoju nieprzyjemny zapach, cena jest zdecydowanie zawyżona
- Karolina (1/5): Unikać tego miejsca jak ognia. - Tylko lokalizacja jest dobra. Brud, smród, kiła i mogiła. Obrzydliwe miejsce. Rozpadające się kanapy, pokoje nie są zamykane, w toalecie rozwalone deski, zawalona wentylacja. Drzwi do hostelu nie są zamykane. Nie czułam się tam bezpiecznie.
- Nello Antonio (4/5): Compagnia poco piacevole - La posizione La presenza di persone che hanno bisogno urgentemente di aiuto: ubriaconi, drogati

- Ильина (5/5): - Найкраще те , що це в центрі міста - дуже вигідне розташування для прогулянок по Кракову , сподобався номер на двох . Маленький , але досить зручний . Були одну ніч і дуже довго майже під дверима номеру якісь люди досить голосно розмовляли , заважали спати . Так , це хостел , але і в хостелі хочеться відпочивати спокійно .

- Wioletta (6/5): - Lokalizacja świetna. Jest możliwość zarezerwowania calego pokoju. Pościel w dinozaury :) czysta, nie maglowana. Pokoj czysty, z balkonem. Jakość adekwatna do ceny. Prysznic wspólny, nie zachęcał do skorzystania. Z kuchni tez nie korzystałam.

- Jolanta (1/5): - location, price - very cheap. I knew it was a hostel. I was given a towel and a tea bag when I asked. Worse place than anything... 1) nothing in the kitchen - somebody told me not to leave anything as it gets stolen. 2) no keys to the rooms (lockers inside which was good) BUT staff enters the room whenever they want talking though the phones (light) checking which bed to give... Staff has no concens for privacy. They treat all the rooms as they own property eventhough it's been paid for. I paid for two beds and... the staff was trying allocate sb for my second bed without my permission and obviously selling the place! (the other person didn't come with me). The door from the room kept opening as the window was open (wind). I was told the door is all right... Then I was woken up by taking away my duvet! - It was 7 min past the check out... but still no culture whatosever. When I got up from bed the new person was invited to see my bed!!! I was not even dressed up, half asleep! It never happend to me before! I told the staff: "wait a moment, is the check in is not at 15.00?" - "and the answer was: yes, but this client had a special request". There were beds available at that time... I didn't want to have any other conversation. Just embarassment,shock.The hostel is run by russian speaking people... There are 2 toilets with small sinks, nad separate showers. You can not even brush your teeth as people either use a toilet to do so, or because of too many to use the toilet. There is a spare toilet -but kept locked!!! I was told I need to pay for 2 beds as I booked... then without asking they wanted to sell one of the bed!!! - counting on my ignorance. Given how many people went trough this room I was aware of what was going to happen. I didn't expect to have duvet taken from under my legs... apaulling! shame for |Krakow to make this functioning. I didn't sleep well... with the light, phones, people coming and shutting and openning door... If you want to have a good,safe night - don't book there.

- Tomaz (8/5): Good hostel for modest and simple people, good price, great location, ok for sleep and shower. - I like the simplicity of the process, of the owner. I like that we got the chance of getting rooms sepparately from others, not in mixed bedrooms. You also can use PIN code and enter the hostel at night, which is really conveient. Theay are pretty flexible and friendly. The hostel is not super clean, especially the kithen and toilet, but for the price i did not expect the hotel experience:). The most unwelcoming thing were other users of the hostel, which were sometimes loud, they sat on sofas for hours, they were leaving doors of their rooms open, they were not greeting us back and so on. But again, you dont expect hotel like experience for that price:))
- Richard (7/5): - Mam wrażenie, iż większość pozostawionych opinii jest od osób które mineły się z realiami i nie zrozumiało czym jest *hostel* i spodziewało sie warunków hotelowych.
Wybrałem ametyst bo pojechałem do Krakowa służbowo i potrzebowałem miejsca do spania i umycia się przed i po pracy, za 3 noce zapłaciłem 148zł. Za takie pieniądze to sie nie zrobi nawet zakupów w sklepie na chwile obecna, wiec cena do jakości jest wręcz wybitna.
Dobra lokalizacja, w większości było czysto, aczkolwiek czystość miejsc komunalnych zależy też od innych gości. Jak wół pisze na lodowce, że hostel nie odpowiada za ewentualne kradzieże jedzenia, dostępne są mniejsze i większe szafki w których można schować swoje rzeczy, ja się nie spotkałem z tym żeby mi ktoś pozostawione na łożku brudne gacie czy ręcznik przegrzebywał, ale znów, to już zależy od tego jacy goście sie wam trafia. Jeśli boicie sie o bezpieczeństwo i komfort to po prostu zapłaćcie więcej za hotel, do hosteli najlepiej sie jedzie grupowo ze znajomymi, nie jest to wina tego konkretnego miejsca. Lokalizacja jest świetna, aczkolwiek za ścianą jest ruchliwa ulica, jeśli przeszkadza wam dźwięk to warto mieć to na uwadze.
To samo z ewentualnym chłodzeniem, w lato bardzo gorąco.
Hostel jest też wysoko, trzeba wchodzić po schodach, nie ma udogodnień dla niepełnosprawnych, sam o nie nie prosiłem i nie było o nich wzmianki ale warto wspomnieć jeśli ktoś sie tym kieruje w swoim wyborze.

- Piotr (7/5): - Ogólnie wrażenia w porządku jedynie mógłbym się przyczepić kwestii przydziału łóżek. Rezerwując miejsce w 6scio osobowym pokoju w którym w chwili rezerwacji jest 5 wolnych łóżek liczyłem na otrzymanie łóżka na dole.
Rozumiem że jeśli w pokoju jest powiedzmy 8 miejsc a 4 z nich już zostały zarezerwowane to oczywiste że dostanę łóżko na górze jednak w sytuacji w której na 6 miejsc jest 5 wolnych byłem pewny że wybierając akurat to właśnie miejsce otrzymam łóżko dolne a tak się niestety nie stało.
Po za tym wszystko ok łóżka wygodne kontakt i przedłużacz przy każdym łóżku i akurat miałem takie szczęście że lokator z dolnego łóżka bardzo późno (albo jak kto woli wcześnie bo 4 rano to już w sumie wcześnie :p) wracał więc nie miałem obaw że wchodząc kogoś obudzę.
Personel który napotkałem raczej pochodzenia ukraińskiego co w tego typu obiektach raczej od pewnego czasu jest normą.
Na plus zdecydowanie wspaniała lokalizacja obok wiele sklepów w tym całodobowy Carrefour

- Mahiang (8/5): - I can pay by cash. It's easy to find and close to old town. There is a trem stop near by. It is upstair and doesn't have any lift. It was difficult for me with 10kg and 25kgs of luggages.
- Ferrero (10/5): - I liked that there are curtains near the bed, there are sockets near the bed, you can use the kitchen. There is noise from the street and guests do not wash their dishes in the kitchen after themselves.
- Pawel (5/5): -
- Alperen (1/5): - Eğer bu hostel de kalıyorsanız engeç 2 gün içinde hastasınız. Çünkü kalorifer günde sadece 5 saat(19.00-24.00) çalışıyor.
Kar yadığı zamanda bile kaloriferler yanmadı.
Ranzalardan süreli ses geliyor.
Çarşaf, yorgan ve yastık kılıfları çok eskiydi. Kullanım ömrünü tamamlamış ürünlerdi.
Odalar buz gibi, banyoda sıcak su var ama başka bir musluk açtığında sizin su aniden azalıyor.
Banyo ve tuvalet çok soğuktu.
Banyodaki paspasın altı böcek yuvası olmuş.
Asla tavsiye etmem gidin 20 zloty fazla verin düzgün bi yerde kalın.
If you stay in this hostel, you’ll be sick within 2 days at the latest.
The heating works only 5 hours a day (19:00–24:00).
Even when it was snowing, the radiators were not turned on.
The bunk beds constantly make noise.
The sheets, duvets and pillowcases were very old — they were items that had already reached the end of their usable life.
The rooms are freezing cold; there is hot water in the bathroom, but if someone else turns on another tap, your water pressure suddenly drops.
The bathroom and toilet were extremely cold.
Under the bathroom mat, there was practically a nest of bugs.
I absolutely do not recommend this place. Pay 20 zloty more and stay somewhere decent.
Jeśli zatrzymasz się w tym hostelu, najpóźniej w ciągu 2 dni będziesz chory.
Kaloryfer działa tylko 5 godzin dziennie (19:00–24:00).
Nawet kiedy padał śnieg, ogrzewanie nie było włączone.
Z łóżek piętrowych cały czas dochodzą dźwięki.
Prześcieradła, kołdry i poszewki na poduszki są bardzo stare — to rzeczy, które dawno powinny być wymienione.
Pokoje są lodowato zimne, w łazience jest ciepła woda, ale gdy ktoś odkręci inny kran, ciśnienie u was od razu spada.
Łazienka i toaleta są bardzo zimne.
Pod dywanikiem w łazience zrobiło się gniazdo robaków.
W żadnym wypadku nie polecam. Dopłaćcie 20 zł i zatrzymajcie się w porządnym miejscu
- Tomasz (4/5): - Strasznie zimno w pokoju. Jeżeli jedziecie w okresie zimowym weźcie ciepłe ubrania bo idzie zamarznąć w pokoju. Lokalizacja duży plus, super knajpy dookoła i pijalnie.
- silvia (1/5): - Tutto! Ho pagato quasi 50 euro a notte per un dormitorio freddo, puzzolente, con letti ammassati.
- nc (5/5): - the receiption guy and the cleaner staff are very gentle and helpful the lady staff or management, she is very disrespectful and unprofessional
- nc (4/5): - the cleaner and the male receptionist (owner), were very helpful and professional. the lady (owner/manager) very unprofessional and disrespectful.
- Nadir (7/5): Good with improvements needed - Clean, calm , welcoming staff. Overall it was okay. There were no towels in bathrooms. It is just close to tram, so beds do vibrate when tram passes by. There was no coffee or tea in the kitchen.
- Ferrero (10/5): - A comfortable bed, curtains on the beds, sockets by the beds, a clean shower and a clean toilet. It's noisy from the street in the city center

- Bohdan (1/5): Никому не рекомендую здесь ночевать отдохнуть не дадут - Холодно неудобные подушки неудобная кровать и ещё самое главное то что правила никто не соблюдать пьют гулять все до утра не дают спать

- Krystian (6/5): - Bardzo dobra lokalizacja, obsługa uprzejma i pomocną w razie problemów. Pokój 6-osobowy jest nieco klaustrofobiczny ze względu na ciasne ułożenie łóżek, ale jest to nadrabiane przez niską cenę za noc
- Daniela (8/5): - la ubicación no podia ser mejor, era super centrica, éramos 10, nos dieron una habitación de 6 literas y otra cuatro, eran habitaciones comodas, prácticas y limpias tanto el baño como la cocina (ambos compartidos) estaban bastante mas sucios, probablemente por culpa de los huéspedes mas que de los propietarios. De todos modos, por su precio sigue mereciendo mucho la pena

- Cezary (1/5): - Zdjęcia nie miały nic wspólnego z rzeczywistością, wejście do pokoju jest przez recepcję
- ThomasB_83 (6/5): Poza tym, że nie można było zagrzać tego pokoju, to było ok. Plusem jest lokalizacja, - Świetna lokalizacja, bo bardzo blisko rynku i to był największy plus. Było zimno. Niby był jakiś grzejnik, ale nie dał rady ogrzać pokoju.
- Slobodan (1/5): Great location. Everything else was a pure horror. Avoid. - Everything except the location was a pure horror. Rude staff entering the rooms anytime. Dirty. Full of suspicious guests. Avoid like plague! Everything except the location was a pure horror. Rude staff entering the rooms anytime. Dirty. Full of suspicious guests. Avoid like plague!
- Akmis (8/5): Great if low occupancy - - great location: vibrant surroundings (24/7 supermarket in the building, plenty of restaurants including Bar mleczny with meals from 3€ &cacao for 0,3€), well connected (tram stop right there, walking distance to the airport bus, short stroll straight to the main square).
- kind staff (complementary towel if asked, free luggage storage).
- lockers including keys, privacy curtains for the lower beds, sufficient number of electricity sockets, equipped kitchen, wifi... - just two separate wc and two shower cabins: no guarantee that you can get access right away.
- rooms are small. 6 beds room lacked air at night with full occupancy and closed windows;
- contrary from a comment below, the windows of most of the rooms (~5/6) face the street (but was not noisy at night).
- Alberto (6/5): - La posizione molto vicina al centro. Il personale non parla inglese.
è stato complicato comunicare.
- Seweryński (9/5): SUPER -
