    The building is in a very good position, south-east of the Planty park and at less than Minutes walk to every touristic attraction. We visit Krakow by walking and never used public transport. The staff is super friendly and available for any requests ( we didn't have the hairdryer and they provided to find one). The price is super honest and cheap! Absolutely recommended, DreamHostel will always be our choice for the future!

    Clean, comfortable and modern room. It’s in a great location in the Jewish quarter, a few minutes walk to the synagogues, the Jewish museum and some great restaurants. It’s a mile from the main market square. I’ve stayed in both locations and I preferred this as it’s quieter and less touristy and the restaurants were better - better food and cheaper.
