Well, first of all I stayed there twice recently with a bigger group. The receptionist was very patient, as we had to divide rooms between people and we stayed at the desk for more than usual check-in. Bathrooms are really clean, rooms as well. It's not a 5star hostel, but what it is exactly what I expected from a communism-style... More

I stayed in Good Bye Lenin Hostel for a long weekend in March and really enjoyed my time in Krakow. The hostel is definitely one of the coolest hostels i've stayed in with its retro communist decor! I stayed in a four bed dorm which was well equipped with blankets, linen and a locker for bags and valuables. The shared... More

well, the title of this review to mention that not only you got the Main Market square litterally 30 seconds away from the hostel, but also because of the friendliness and kindness of the staff who did make me feel truly welcomed. The rooms are clean and the bathroom (at least the one on my floor, 3rd) veeeeery clean! Stairs... More

We have stayed at the Goodbye Lenin in Zakopane and couldn't praise it enough but in Krakow it was an entirely different experience. When we arrived the man at the reception was perfectly nice and showed us around, no complaints there. However, he took us upstairs to show us the room and managed to open another door by accident with... More

When I arrived from Prague they said they were full even though I booked via a hostel booking site. It was late and I had not where to go..after awhile they "found" my reservation. Bad start! The cookies they offer seem to be left over from a few Christmases ago. The breakfast is OK. The people who work here are... More

Great place for students/backpackers, low prices, friendly staff. The hotel is very close from all points of interest like old town and main market square, the railway station and mall. The food is very good and you can eat all you want. More

The staff really were fantastic aswell - professional, informative and probably around for a beer later on :) Location wise, its an easy tram ride... More

We were stay there 2 days before our trip to Ukraine and another 3 after that trip. Hostel is located in about 30-35 min walk from Krakow train station, but if you have a map with you it is not a problem to get there. It is very quite location, close to all attractions of Kazimierz district, cheap eateries and... More
