Location is the biggest positive  point for this hostel. The staff is also very helpful. The only issue is that it is on the first floor and there is no elevator. So if you have heavy luggage or you have any issue climbing stairs you need to think twice before booking. 



Superb location

Couple aged 28 and 31. 

Perfect location down a little street off the square. 
Our room was number 11. Directly above a nightclub, unsure if it states this on the website but even if it does it’s not obvious. So something I believe should be included. Nightclub extremely loud and plays music until 3am (and we stayed on weekdays). 

Hotel room was clean with coffee and tea. 

We stayed 3 nights and the room was not cleaned. Not a massive issue, but believe w cleaner should have offered towels. (I understand we could ask ourself but it would have been nice to have been offered / left clean towels). 

Hotel staff were ok. We only saw two females on the reception desk. 

Prior to the holiday we booked the Auschwitz tour through the hotel. On arrival we asked where the pick up station was and if it was a far walk (hotel staff did not know and advised we call the booking people). 

Due to not speaking Polish we requested the hotel staff ring on our behalf to ascertain where we were getting picked up however the staff said they were not able to. This was extremely odd and unhelpful seems we booked through the hotel!!!!

Great location. Night club below.

For how much I paid for this room, I wasn't expecting much, however the room was lovely and spacious. Bed was comfy and had a good night's sleep. Had a private bathroom that was also spacious. The location is amazing too. If you are on a budget and want to stay somewhere that great for exploring the Old Town I recommend this Hostel!

Great Stay

I booked at the beginning of March for trip at the end of March. They charged my card before coronaban. then booking allowed to cancel it without fee. Hostel didn't want to refund money. They (different people from administration) lied that they did pre-authorization and didn't change money. One woman said "this is a very small amoint. May be you didn't pay attention that money were refunded/unblocked". I had to ask bank to do chargback and today I received money. 
Hostel wrote every month from March till August that they didn't receive my money and will not refund. 
Also hostel wanted in March to change dates of booking till the end of May. I proposed to change to November 2020. They are very non-friendly to their customers

liars

We booked this hostel with private bedroom and bathroom for our second visit to Kraków which we was extremely excited and the hostel seemed perfect for location, which it was but everything else was extremely disappointing.
1. Bugs on the bed. Bed was also extremely uncomfortable and pillows very small.
2. Bathroom towels are probably big enough for a small baby.
3. Sink gargled and smelt of sewage whenever the shower was used or toilet flushed!
4. Broken bathroom lock which resulted in me being locked in the bathroom for an hour and unable to contact reception as it’s not 24 hour.
When we left we spoke to the woman at reception about our issues and she wasn’t exactly understanding and kept telling us “we haven’t had these problems before” - are we liars?
Only good thing about his hostel is the location, which is a shame because if they made a few changes it could be lovely. 

Disappointed..

Lovely room very spacious for me and my partner whole studio to ourselves and private bathroom and double bed and dining area, cheap and beautiful for people who are looking for a few nights away in krakow.

Lovely 3 night stay 

I booked this hotel shortly before I arrived at it. For two nights. When I arrived, the receptionist said that she had no booking for me as they had no rooms. Asked if she had no rooms free at all, and she said 'only a much more expensive one than you booked, which you are not getting'. She then said that there was one room free that night, and a different room free the next night, and that if I wished I could pay for and stay in a room that night, pack up and check out by 10.30 next morning, come back later that day to check in to the other room. I declined. As I was leaving the receptionist called me back.. She said 'are you paying by card?' I confirmed I would, and asked if she would have a room available after all. Her response was 'Having you here will be a problem, but fine!'. I replied to say that it was not my fault that there was problems with their booking system. Receptionist grunted at me. It was only after paying that she told me that they were actually putting me in a different accomodation down the street. An accommodation that was still available online but at a cheaper price than I was paying to Flamingo. Old Town Apart, on same street. Not apartments. Basic double room, with shared bathroom. The other location wasn't too bad, but not what I had chosen. I felt really unwelcome there by staff, and the receptionist was extremely rude in her interactions with me. On my last morning, men came to the door wanting to enter before check-out time. 

Extremely unwelcoming

Located in a LOUD building, DIRTY, NO WORKING CURTINS in bed or bathroom, NO SERVICE.
But the worst thing, they sent us an extra Bill for damage we did not do. This is a TOTAL SCAM! 
DO NOT BOOK!!!!!!!   

DO NOT BOOK THESE APARTMENTS!

1. They are located in a building that also have a bar, so there are loud noise all night and evening.

2. The staff is NOT friendly and helpfull at all. 

3. The “apartment” - Lets say what is really is; a Big room with a bed, a sofa and very small “table”. Is has no heat, there are only 2 towels, no soap, there are no curtins on the top window in the bathroom, so the entire building across from you, can see in when you take a shower. The curtins in the room, right in front of the bed do not close. So everyone across including a bar with a balcony can watch your bed, not to mention the room is bright all night, during lights from the other buildings.

3. The main door to the apartments are shared by 2 renters. So both you and someone else renting have a key. However inside this door is a lock, which you can only lock from the inside. So the people in the other room, choose to lock this, which meant that when we arrived home at 23, we were unable to lock the door. So in -1 degree, freezing and tired, we where locked out. Luckily the renters in the other apartment heard our desperate knocking and came to Open. Because If not, we had to wait 30 minutes before the staff came to Open the door.

4. When you leave, there is a mailbox in which you have to put the key.
We had a flight late in the evening, so we had booked 1 night extra, so we didn’t have to carry our laugage around all day. So we left the key in the mail box, the day before our officiel check out and left the room, which we had only used for sleeping and showering (at night without light, due to the missing curtins). 
The next day we receive a mail, that we have to pay around USD 300 extra for trashing the room!!!!
We are a couple at the age of 46 and 38. We travle all the time without any problems. We do not smoke, trash apartments or behave badly in any way. We have NEVER tried anything like this before, so we were in chok and called the company. The people staying in the other apartment was very Young and clearly in town to party. So se asked, If maybe they could have mixed the 2 apartments, But they told us that no one had been at the other apartment. This eventhough the people in the other apartment helped us, the night they had locked the main door and the staff that arrived 30 minutes later, also laughed and was relieved that they had helped us, so we didn’t have to freeze outside for so long.
When we demanded prof, they forwarded photos of ash on the floor (none of us smoke), the other photo was of some water on the bathroom floor, the next of a pillow which they had put a Coffee spot on.
I have Never EVER tried anything like this.
We are in complete chok :(:(:(:(:(:(
I simply cannot believe that this is legal or even possible. I will copy/paste this review Daily, just to Make sure that no one else ends up getting ripped off!!

DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE ; LOUD AND YOU RISK HAVING TO PAY FOR DAMAGE YOU DID NOT DO - TOTAL SCAM!!!!

Everything from the check-in experience to the room and location was perfect, I really would not call it a hostel anymore. Only thing that made it a hostel was the shared bathroom. Would recommend this.

Perfect 'hostel', more like a hotel

Everything was modern and just great overall. The staff made you feel welcome and included, so it made being there that much better and definitely added to the experience. The vibe at the hostel definitely catered towards a younger crowd (which I was a part of) with drinks fun and karaoke being central to the night life there.
