We were very pleased with Hostel Deco. Check in was easy, our room was clean and there were two bathrooms on our floor. I like the design of the renovation of the building. It is clear that careful thought was put in to making it a welcome and unique space. We will be back!

My partner and I were quite pleased with our stay here! The staff were super friendly and helpful when we had questions about the transit system. The rooms and the bathrooms were clean. Very close to Krakow main square (ie., in walking distance).

People who work there were very kind with me, and public spaces were clean. People who stay there is safe, and also the situation that you can breathe it's really nice. Unique negative thing is that due to work, was not possible open the window of the room, so the smell of people who stay before me in the room stay there. But I really like that hostel and I suggest to everyone!

A lovely, friendly hostel. I had a private ensuite room which was quite spacious. The bathroom was spotless, and very modern. I walked there from the train station, and it took me around 12 minutes. But local transport options pass by the hostel. The old town is also about a 10 minute walk away. They have a 24hr reception which is great for late arrivals.

From helping us out with a short-notice extra night because I'd gotten my dates mixed up, to ringing around to help us organise bike hire and an endless amount of knowledge on local attractions and opportunities, the staff the Hostel Deco were friendly, astute and flexible. We thoroughly enjoyed the quaint attic-room "pidgeon coop" which was quiet and had lovely views from the 5th floor. You do need to be prepared to deal with stairs - 110 to our room, but well worth it.

Very good for a tight budget
Good value for money! The furniture was somewhat worn, but the place felt clean and inviting. Loved the Art Deco style throughout the hostel. I spent 6 night in a single room with shared bathroom and shower.
A short 15 minute walk from the Old Town.
A couple of tips;
- My room did not have aircondition. If you are planning to stay in hot summer months, be prepared to buy a tablefan from a nearby shop. It cost me about 80 zl, but well worth it.
- Bring your own towel. They do supply them in reception, but you will have to deposit 20 zl (?!)

Safe, quiet and pleasant
Not very central but about 20mins walk away from centre or train station. Quiet and safe area. Staff friendly and helpful on a 24/7 reception desk. Towels on refundable cash deposit. Bit battered on closer inspection but clean in our bedroom and shared bathroom. Shared kitchen not so clean but very nice to have the option of that. Shared garden very pleasant. The biggest problem was not enough sockets in the room, only 2 for a 4-bed room - please put some more in! Could improve the shared bathrooms: lack of bath mat or hand towels and more shelves/hooks needed. Overall happy with stay and would come back :)

Good value for the price
I stayed in a six bed dorm and I am satisfied with the overall experience. It is everything you would expect from a hostel but with a few things that elevated the experience:
1. Clean shared bathrooms. Unlike the smelly and dark bathrooms I experienced in other hostels, the bathrooms here are modern, bright and cleaned every day
2. Common room with comfy sofa, TV and game consoles (I have not used them so I can't vouch if they work).
3. "Cafeteria" - Located one floor below the reception, I believe only open at day time. What I can say for sure is, in case you have not been impressed by the shared bathrooms outside of your room, the toilets here are as clean as the others and with stunning lighting.
4. Locker room for luggage - Next to the cafeteria, there are plenty of storage spaces. Not sure if you need to pay extra for it.
5. Garden - place to sit outdoor and hang your washing (important for later). There are also bike racks!
6. Towel can be borrowed free of charge, the catch is you need to leave a deposit (cash only) and will be fully refunded when you return it.
7. Convenient location - Multiple bus and tram stations within 10 minutes of walking
Here are some minor complaints
:
1. Room can be hot in the summer. However, it is uncommon for Polish buildings with AC or electric fans anyway.
2. Luggage space in the shared dorm is quite limited and inevitably will take up some common space
3. Washing machine is available but no dryer is available.

Everything’s great and clean. Yes the unique swimming pool style shower head might add a very minor inconvenience but I will take that over a dirty shower environment any time of the day

Atendimento
Dear Sir/Madam,
I stayed at Hostel Deco in Kraków, with check-out scheduled for 11:00 AM on September 13th, 2025. After checking out, we left our luggage at the property and went out for a walk. We returned to the hostel around 5:00 PM to rest until the departure time of our bus at 10:00 PM.
During the shift change, the evening receptionist informed us that we could not remain in the common areas of the hostel, even after check-out, and asked us to leave immediately. This approach was abrupt and caused us discomfort, especially considering that the previous receptionist had not mentioned any such restriction.
I would like to formally express my dissatisfaction with the way we were treated and request clarification regarding the hostel’s policies on the use of common areas after check-out.
Sincerely,
Francisco

Sem flexibilidade de check in ou check out. O cafe da manha, embora disponivel, só era oferecido a grandes grupos, embora houvesse anuncio, estava indisponivel. A mesma indisponibilidade para os lockers, ja que o hotel fechou completamente, na data do checkout, sem qualquer aviso e nenhum apoio pode ser oferecido a hospedes. Chuveiros com pouca agua, com temporizador, que precisava ser apertado o tempo todo e com muita força (tanto que as ceramicas da parede estao rachadas) nada cômodo.
