Staying here was one of the highlights of my trip. It was the only hostel I stayed at because I didn't want the crowd that you usually get in them, but all the reviews on TA had convinced me to book and I'm so glad I did. The staff were wonderful. I sat down and watched movies and chatted with... More

I stayed at Elephant on the Moon Hostel in May during my first visit to Krakow. The hostel was perfect. Very clean, comfortable room. The breakfast that was provided during my stay was very nice. All of the guests and people who worked there were incredibly nice and there was a lot of fun hanging out and conversation in the... More

I stayed at this hostel for six days, and enjoyed my stay very much. It felt more as a Bed and Breakfast place rather than a hostel. That's a plus! PROS (not in any order): 1. Very clean 2. Friendly staff 3. Pretty courtyard 4. Filling breakfast 5. Quiet place 6. Free WiFi 7. Not crowded 8. Close to tram... More

The hostel is small - it feels like home really. The staff is great. The breakfast is nice. To get there you have to go by tram - it takes about 15 minutes ( more or less) and than walk for 5 minutes. More

This hostel is fun to stay in, the staff is welcoming and friendly and it REALLY was cleaner than many 4 stars hotels I stayed in. Although it is not directly in the city centre, the 20 min. walk along Vistula river is worth it (or you just get on the tram and you are in the centre in 5... More

Normally don’t stay in Hostels, but my stay here changed all that and will definitely try more! It lives up to its ratings by others! Rather than a typical hostel full of dorms - it is actually a 5 bedroom house with one mixed dorm and others which are twins, singles and even with en-suite. Even the shared bathroom is... More

This was our first time staying at a hostel and we couldn't have picked a better one. The staff is amazing and they go above and beyond to help you out with your trip in Krakow. Gregory, our host, sets up an amazing breakfast every morning and he even adds in some fun with his "apple celebration" or "breakfast lottery".... More
