This hostel is the worst accommodation I have ever seen. We were told (after they took our money) that the private room we booked was not available so we were put in a different room. The room was filthy, dirt on all surfaces/floor/window. The beds had no sheets, duvet or pillow covers! Just a mattress which were all stained or... More

My friend and I arrived at Ars hostel all excited for our trip only to be told on arrival that our booking had been cancelled and we had been sent an email telling us this. My friend checked her emails there and then and she had not received any emails. We were very unhappy. The guy could not speak much... More

This hostel is really well located, just a few blocks from Krakows city center. The staff was great: incredibly friendly, they even took us out on the evenings to get to know the city nightlife. The prices were modest but we were surprised by how much this hostel had to offer... the bedrooms were huge, lots of showers, delicious breakfast,... More

We went on a trip to Krakow a few weeks back and this seemed like the hostel with the best reviews. When we go there we understood why. When we arrived at the bar downstairs we had a quick and extremely cheap pint while we sorted out the keys and everything and had a chat with the very friendly hostel... More

Just finished a 3 night stay here in Krakow. There was very little wrong with the hostel, clean, comfortable etc with free internet (though it was patchy and struggled when there were a few people online). It's in a great location, a five minute walk from the old town and round the corner from wawel castle and hill. The service... More

As long as you're expecting a hostel not a hotel this is great value. Free vodka shot each day and breakfast included at £11/night (travelling as a 3 we paid to have a private room) there is also free internet. The location was fine and the staff were great, advising us on where to go, how to get there etc.... More

Ars hostel is perfect for a cheaper stay in Krakow but also not far from the main square, about a 10 min walk away. The staff were great and helped us organize everything, with a great free breakfast (basic but nice). The wi fi was fast and reliable. Great hostel for young travelers too with a comfy common room and... More
