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.

At Hostel Kubik you will find a shared kitchen. Bicycle rental is also possible, as well as airport shuttle, at an extra cost.

This is the perfect place to stay in Krakow. I was there last weekend and it's placed in the perfect spot. The hostess - Bożena - is excellent and recommended me some good places to visit, and to go out to. There was a very small issue with the drain in the shower, I sent her a message, and she sent someone to fix it right away. She was also available via sms all the time and was super nice and friendly. She even let me stay several hours after check-out time so that I didn't have to carry my luggage around while waiting for my flight which was in the night. The double bed is good to sleep on. Plenty of towels and everything very clean. There's a small kitchen with a fridge, a microwave, electric kettle and coffee maker, and everything you need to cook a meal. The toilet was great. Good pressure on the shower, hot water right away. I don't know what more to say. This is now my place when I visit Krakow!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

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.

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!!
