Overall, everything was fine! Nothing particularly special, but no major complaints either. Just keep your expectations realistic — this is a modest place, not a five-star Radisson. If you understand what you’re booking, it’s a perfectly decent option for a short stay.

A few blocks from the city center, about 10-15 minutes on foot, in a calm residential neighborhood. There is a minimarket really close to the hostel. Room, shared bathroom, toilet and kitchen extremelly clean (as I´ve never seem in hotels with shared bathrooms before), renewed and pleasant. Linen and mattress confy. Good internet.

Cut above in Krakow

Done a lot of hostels in Krakow, this would be among the best! Good location and friendly bed, the extra pillow was there upon request , as was a towel after I had enquired about it ! I’d never had to rent a towel before at any accommodation in 55 years, I wasn’t starting now! Noisy only on one night, due to paper thin walls and party orientated residents! Don’t pick the room next to the kitchen, there are unconscionable swine 24/7 banging and crashing, black out blinds would have really been welcome, all in all 8/10

8/10 Very good

Quiet, clean, safe, convenient. Near Old City, transportation, pharmacies, tourist food and other shopping. I was only disappointed that “ground and a spacious room for one person floor” while technically true at the back of building, was realistically a semi-basement with my bedroom being under street level. There was a dehumidifier available just in case. The room lock was unreliable. Staff were immediately available by whatsapp. They suggested a different lock, which worked without fear of getting locked out.

Please!!!!!!! Don’t stay in this place or any apartments they have. Don’t waste money and time. There are many places much better for a little more money. I had to leave the apartment that I rent from them because the pillows, sheets, sofa bed, everything had a very bad smell. I had to look for another place and spend more money, and they promise a refund that I’ve never got. Stay away for their properties Lorf hostel or any apartments that they offer. SCAMMERS SCAMMERS SCAMMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch out for the actual reception location

Misleading information on reception and check-in procedures. Firstly, nobody is stationed at the reception counter although it is labelled to be opened from 10am to 2pm. The door is locked with just a misleading sticker at the door. Secondly, during the booking time, it was mentioned that further check-in instructions email will be sent on the day of check-in. But this was never sent. It took me hours of actively seeking ways to check-in to be finally able to get in with other tenants advices. Much worse than AirBNB experience. Later, I found out that this hostel has another site operating under the name Lorf Hostel&Coffee about 200m away. That is the only one with manned reception. If that is the case, the hostel should have clearly published and instructed customer to visit there instead. Throughout my whole stay, I noticed that the reception at my hostel site was practically unmanned. Other than the tedious and frustrating check-in experience, the place is quiet. The room is nice and the price is reasonable. Another misleading point is on towels. The hostel charges higher room rates than LorfHostel&Coffee, and listed towels as part of the room amenities. But it is still chargeable on-site.

Globalement satisfait du rapport qualité/prix et de la localisation. En revanche, il est urgent de changer le matelas !!! Quelle torture d'avoir les ressorts dans le dos... Et pour ce qui est des petits déjeuners, je les attends encore... tout comme la réponse à mon message. Bref, j'ai connu mieux, vraiment mieux :-(

Dette er uvant lav standard på rom og fasiliteter til å være en hotels.com utleiebolig. Jeg har tidligere leid fra samme firma og da var det en leilighet, noe som fungerte greit og ga mye valuta for pengene. Men disse rommene med felles bad, toalett og kjøkken er lavest mulige standard: Gulvet knirker på et falleferdig vis. Ingen aircondition og heller ingen vifte satt inn på rommene til tross for 35 grader ute og uutholdelig varmt inne i boligen. På badet virket ikke kaldtvann så vi målte pusse tenner i glovarmt vann. På rommet sto det fire high school/military looking lockers. Vel og bra men alle skapene manglet nøkkel så de opptok unødvendig mye plass av rommet og var helt ubrukelige. Absolutt alt burde vært pusset opp og modernisert i denne boligen. Jeg kan ikke komme på en eneste ting her som virket nytt og fresh, noe også bildene viser. Eneste positive er lav leiepris, men føler ikke det kom godt nok frem da jeg leide at blant annet wc er felles her. Den type løsninger passer bedre for unge voksne i 20-årene som ikke bryr seg om standard og kun vil ha det billig. Delt kjøleskap er det også. Dette passet ikke for et voksent par i 50-årene vant til standarden hotels.com/Expedia normalt tilbyr.

Dålig säng

Vistelsen motsvarade priset med ett undantag: Den bäddsoffa som användes var uttjänt-måste bytas. Som tillägg var lakanen inte rena. I gemensamma dusch och toalettutrymmet var det dock rent.

방문시에 줘야하는 체크인 정보를 도착할때까지 보내지도 않고, 예약한 주소로 가니 안내 데스크도 없다. 전화도 안 받고(기타발신, 한국발신 모두 시도) 비행기에서 10시간 이상을 날아왔지만 결국 짐을 든채로 1시간 이상을 헤매야 했으며, 다른 외국인들의 도움으로 한참후에야 방을 안내 해줬다. 그마저도 침대,베개 시트는 셀프였다.
