Best Hotels near Park Jalu Kurka, Krakow

Near the Krakow train station and bus station (that one can catch the buses to Auschwitz Concentration Camp) which can be accessed through the tunnel near the hotel. There are 2 Ibis brands side by side which you can go thru the door of one to get to the other hotel ( instead of going round the building).

Lovely apartments in an ideal location. 5 min walk from main Krakow train/bus station. We took bus from the airport which only cost 4.60 zloty ( about £1 / €1) Took around 45 mins . From apartments its only around a 10-15 min walk to top of the Old Town (Barbican , Florins Gate). Very spacious modern rooms and comfy beds. Decent kitchen with hob,oven, fridge, etc. TV, iron/board, and washing machine. Nice breakfast ( hot and cold buffet style) . Wifi signal good. No maid service to rooms, but replacement towels were provided. Nice reception staff. A couple of bars/restaurants nearby, but we especially liked one called Polibuda, which was around the corner to the left as you come out of reception .

The location is impeccable, there is free coffee in the lobby ☕️ drink, but the room is too small, the bed scalp appears off

10-15 Minutes to the bus station, train station, but there is no electric kettle in the hotel room. If you want to drink hot water, you have to go to the restaurant below to pick it up. Toothpaste, toothbrush, even USB charging station is not, but the price is flat, but there is a choice to prefer to live near the train station. There are no restaurants nearby, only the coffee shop opens until 9:30 pm . 

The hotel is just behind the station, but the windows are soundproof and not noisy. The traffic is extremely convenient, and there is a large supermarket in the station, the shopping mall is convenient, because the city is small, it is only 10 minutes to walk to the old city. Going at the end of July, there is no air conditioning, no air conditioning is needed at night, and there are no mosquitoes in the window. There is an electric kettle, and it would be better if you had a small refrigerator to store food and drink cold drinks.

Good budget hotel in a good, central location, within 1.2km to the main square and old town, just a little further to the Jewish quarter and Schlinder's factory. Clean rooms, polish TV, tea, coffee and bottled water in rooms. Comfy beds, pillows are very lumpy though. Windows you can open. Noisy at night if you have a room at the front like we did so take your ear plugs. We didn't eat at the hotel but the coffee shop with direct access from the hotel is great, as is the bakery opposite. Great location for trans if you struggle to walk further than 2km. Value for money for the budget traveller.

The reception at the front desk is still very good, but the facilities are really unsatisfactory: The basin and drain in the toilet were broken, and the water was everywhere after taking a shower, even soaking the carpet outside the door. There is no kettle in the room, hot water can only be picked up in the kitchen downstairs. Others are okay, maybe the above is an accidental situation.

The https://shh.travel/ website shows 6 co-owners, highly responsive to positive comments but completely indifferent to complaint email. So I post my unanswered email here. My husband and I stayed at Dorm 3 of Dizzy Daisy Downtown Hostel Krakow from January 27-29, 2022. Dorm 3 is fully booked on the 29th so we moved to Dorm 1 instead. We are elderlies (and we are Asian) very much prefer lower bunk beds. My husband went to Dorm 1 after 10am to check available lower bunks. One young man staying at Dorm 1 asked my husband ”What do you want”. My husband said we stay at Dorm 1 tonight. The man then told my husband to speak at a lower voice because someone is sleeping but he spoke much louder. I went to Reception to brief the lady receptionist about this unfriendly person in Dorm 1. At around 11.30am, my husband went to Dorm 1 to check available lower bunks again. The man ordered my husband to ”get out or I am going to make a complaint at Reception”. My husband replied ”Let's go together to Reception”. On the way down the stairs, the man swearing at my husband. Just a few steps before reaching the ground, the man, with both hands, pushed my husband from the back. My husband hit on the wall and bounced through the door to the Reception area. My husband fell on his knees and physically hurt. The Receptionist told the man to stop. Three staying guests helped to bring my husband standing up. The incident was witnessed and the hostel said it's recorded by CCTV. The Receptionist told the man to leave but offered to give him a refund. I disagreed to let him go and asked the Receptionist to call the Police - this is an assault which is a criminal offence. The man went back to the Dorm to pack. Receptionist called Security and ”I thought” Security called the ”Police”. In about 10 minutes, the man returned the keys at Reception. Receptionist told him he need to wait for the Police. Without insisting to get a refund, the man said ”good bye” and ran away like a fugitive. Soon after the man stepped out, two Security Guards arrived. I said to the guards they should bring the man back as he had just walked out. That did not happen. I was offered an explanation though. Policemen came. Two of them took my husband going around in a Police car trying to find the man but to no avail. I strongly insisted to file a report at the Police Station to have the man arrested. My husband decided not to proceed as the man had already paid a price to have disgraced his country and his fellow Danish. After Policemen left, I asked the Receptionist our accommodation arrangement for the night. We were offered a free upgrade to a twin-room with shared bathroom but after a quick discussion with husband we thought we should be compensated for a free room for the night. The Receptionist told me to come back after 2pm and get a reply from the Reception Manager. I spoke to Reception Manager at 4pm, she was calm and not quite empathetic as if assault is no big deal in

It was our first time in Krakow and we stayed here for 3 nights. The hostel was clean and located in a very good location. It is very near to all the historic places of the city. The staff were very friendly. The only thing I don't like about this hostel was the breakfast, too expensive for low-quality ham, (boiled) eggs, toasted bread. I would advise ppl to just find and eat at some breakfast place (there is a lot!) nearby where you would pay the same amount but get a way better food. Oh and I hope too that the hostel organize activities for solo travelers, that would be awesome if guests has a chance to socialize to each other.

Great stay start to finish, great location about a 10 minute walk from the main square. Very clean room, not fancy but functional and a great shower! Staff were very friendly especially Konrad who let me use a phone charger for the duration of the stay as I had forgotten mine. Would stay again if ever returning to krakow - thank you :)
