La habitación estaba limpia pero de inicio la persona que estaba en el escritorio fue grosera. Después como que se dio cuenta de que la había regado y cambió, pero la primera impresión no se olvida. Pensé que había contratado en hotel y fue hostal.

Perfekt beliggenhed

Super fint hostel, med yderst kompetent, venligt og hjælpsomt personale. Perfekt beliggenhed i forhold til centrum og seværdigheder - alt er i gåafstand. Eneste minus var, at vi boede i et værelse ud til gaden, hvor der var meget larm til langt ud på de små timer.

Great location

Great location in the back side of the building. This was good as it eliminated the street noise as hotel's street has an active night life. Everything was clean in the room and bathroom. Shower was excellent. My only complaint was that we got to our room right after it had been cleaned. The cleaning person smoked a cigarette in the room before leaving it. The room was non smoking and the air was thick when we entered. Eventually the air cleared and the room did not smell. There was no thermostat in the room.

If you like to sleep, don't go this hostel.

I've booked an std room with shared bathroom on the Flamingo Hostel and they sent me to another unit ''Old Town Apartments'' on different building. Once in the room, you could hear literally everything on the street. In overall I've stayed in one room that wasn't on the property photo's and to be honest, it's an great deal in terms of price - quality only if don't want to sleep at all. Not recommended.

+ Lage super, aber das war es auch schon - WLAN funktionierte nur selten - das versprochene Frühstück (deswegen hatten wir das Flamingo u.a. gebucht) existierte nicht, da die Unterkunft laut Rezeption nicht mehr das "Flamingo Hostel" ist, sondern jetzt anders heißt und ein neues Konzept hat - in unserem Zimmer gab es keinen Spiegel - das Bett war sehr unbequem

Veldig bra service! Midt i gamlebyen, dermed veldig sentralt. Det er ikkje frukost, sjølv om det står på nokre bestillingsider, dei sa dei ikkje har hatt det på fleire år! Det var òg veldig rimeleg for meg som student. Vil definitivt vere her ein evt. neste gong òg!! :) The staff were amazing! The hostel was in the middle of old town and the traffic communication was good. Even though it says "including breakfast" on some ordering pages, that is not true. The staff said they haven't had it for years! As a student, it was also very cheap! I will definitely stay here if I'm going to Krakow again!!

Den som tänkt sig att sova kan fetglömma detta, eftersom man bor ovanpå en nattklubb som stänger kl. 05.00. Tunna madrasser i spjälsängar där flera av spjälorna fattades.

観光に非常に便利なロケーション　清潔さなどはまあまあ

ダブルルームのシングルユースで2泊した。旧市街の中心の広場からすぐというロケーションが抜群でどこに行くにも便利。朝食付き、パソコンも使える。 ヨーロッパ人の若者が殆どで同じフロアにバーがあり賑やか、言い方を変えればうるさかった。 張り紙で「何か問題があればすぐ解決します！」と書いてあったが、WiFiは部屋やレセプション近くのは不調だそうでバーでしかつながらならず、トイレの1つは1日詰まったまま、両方スタッフに伝えたが改善されず、「すぐ解決」ほどではないなという感想だった。

It was quite nice place, but it was very noisy place to sleep. Okay we shared a 10beds bedroom but there were only 2 random and otherwise we were just our friend group. One night around 1am we wanted to come back to hostel but we needed to wait 30min that someone came to open the door. Next morning the breakfast didn't work, every plates were empty and there were no clean mugs for coffee. Otherwise staff were super helpful and nice and I liked that they have own bar in the hostel.

Hostel with Great Atmosphere

I was traveling to Krakrow alone for few days. I have been staying there. The room is not bad, but the WiFi is not quite working all the time in the room. That's just for iPhone. But the atmosphere is good. They have party everything at 9pm, which you can get along with the people there. It's enjoyable.

Centre of Old town

Staff are really nice and helpful. They even reserved an ice cream for me when I was waiting the check in process. Location is the best you can find. However, the 4-bed room I stayed was a bit small and not tidy. Can't complain more. A nice stay
