Dom Studencki Zaułek is located in the centre, in a quiet street in the trendy Jewish district of Kazimierz in Kraków. It offers accommodation with free wired internet and a 24-hour front desk.

The rooms at Zaułek are classically decorated and there is a desk, a wardrobe and a refrigerator in each of them. Some rooms offer a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV and city view.

Excellent location, in a lively Kazimierz area with lots of cafes and bars, yet on a very quiet street, near Vistula river bank. Wawel castle and the Old town are a a 15-20 minutes walk away. (And so is the American consulate, in case you come to Krakow for your US visa appointment). The room was very clean, newly renovated and equipped with all the amenities - including a tea kettle and a fridge, the bathroom fixtures were all new and immaculate. My room 227 faced the courtyard and was very quiet. Soundproofing is quite good, you hardly know your neighbours are there. Staff was welcoming and friendly (and even honoured my request to pay on the next morning, not on arrival). I do envy university students who live in such a comfortable dorm. Will definitely stay there again.

Well set in Kraków, MEININGER Kraków Centrum provides air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a terrace. Featuring a bar, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around less than 1 km from St. Mary's Basilica, a 12-minute walk from Lost Souls Alley and 1.6 km from Krakow Central Railway Station. Private parking is available on site.

The hotel well placed near the Old Town (5 minutes walk) which is great if you want to have anything as close as possible. The breakfast isn't the best if ever experienced, but it was more than enough with good quality food and quite variated choices, I can't complain anything about it. The bar has decent prices and it's nice to have in the evenings, it's only for the hotel members so it's not busy at all. The room was clean, top notch, I couldn't hear anything from other room so it was dead silent.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    One of the best hostels i’ve been. Very clean, big room, comfortable bed and pillow. Nice toilets with isolated shower cabin, hot water. And it couldn't be any cheaper. Girls at the receptions are very nice and the check in is super easy. And i have to add that they accepted some package on behalf of my name and kept it at the reception until i arrived. Im really thankful for that. I really recommend it.

A must try is also the bar crawl as it’s a great way to meet new people and have so much fun. I can’t wait for my next visit here thank you so much to all the staff.

    This hostel was really great. Very clean. Very warm, what was a must since was freezing outside. Quiet but still in a great location. The staff was really nice, the lady showed us our room and explained everything about the building (what was a first for a hostel). At first I find the entrance a little bit sketchy but quickly we realised that was safe. Really recommend for what it costed!!
