We had a comfortable & relaxing stay! Less than a 10 minute walk to Old Krakow. The check in/check out instructions were detailed, the cost was very affordable & the free parking included was a definite bonus considering parking in Europe is extremely difficult. Only confusing part was we were instructed to phone the reception desk once we pulled up to the gate for parking, but being first timer in Europe we didn’t know “gate” meant doors. Once we realized the doors were common for European parking it helped out for the remainder of our travels. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a place to stay in Krakow.

On-site parking confusion for first time European travelers. May be helpful to include pictures of the parking lot entrance gate in the checkin instructions.

- the rooms were spacious with free, spacious lockers - the breakfast was decent (however, not a very social atmosphere during breakfast) - the 8 bed dorm had a private bathroom and there were additional toilets and bathrooms in the hallways - the location is quite nice as well with a Butcher shop, a traditional "milk bar" restaurant and a 6am-23pm convenience store right outside

- the mattress was really not good. It was very lumpy and soft. That, especially combined with the very thick pillow, made for a not super comfortable sleep. - the reception staff is less friendly and helpful than the average. Not the usual warm welcome, no showing you what to do on a map. - the bathroom smelled really bad the first day. Probably it was smell from the drains. Somehow it disappeared after the first night. - without ear plugs, the noise from the street (with the windows open) will be too loud for most people.

Spacious. Spread over 2 floors. Large lounge with kitchen. Exceptionally clean. Dorm bunks: solid frames, lower bunk has lots of head room, mattress long enough for me at 184cm & very comfortable. Large lockers to hold bag. Staff very helpful with breakfast & especially booking tickets online to Lviv despite efforts by websites, IMHO, to be non intuitive. Only hostel I've known to have WiFi routers in each dorm to avoid blackspots. Decent breakfast buffet laid out in morning. Bustop to train station a few minutes walk away. River, castle, Old Town market square a short, pleasant walk away. Christmas market there during my visit.

There's nothing to dislike. It's a hostel and does it's thing very well.

Overview: My recent stay at Ginger -Apart was an absolute delight. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for the entire experience. This establishment truly exemplifies excellence in every aspect, earning my complete satisfaction rating of 100%.Every interaction, whether it was at the front desk, in the restaurant, or during housekeeping, was marked by professionalism, friendliness, and genuine care for my satisfaction. Special thanks to Karina_Ka.Rina for their exceptional service.

This is the best hostel I have stayed in Krakow so far. The staff was amazing. Friendly and always resolutive. The wifi works very well which is a positivive point if you have to work online. The room and bathroom were very clean and the hot water worked perfectly. They serve free breakfast. Very varied. They allowed me to check in as soon as the room was ready. It was quiet and people staying here were respectful I would deff stay here again.

Absolutely nothing.

Truthfully everything, I booked this last minute just as a place to rest for one night and it by far exceeded expectations. it was prices ~25% higher than other hostels but absolutely worth it. The woman at check in was very kind, explained everything well. The room was warm (Krakow was cold and snowy at the time), all beds had power sockets, and were clean and comfortable. Lockers were available for free using a provided key. Breakfast was way better than expected, normally a free hostel breakfast is toast or cereal but this had all kinds of fruits, vegetables, cheese, meat, coffee, tea, juice, baked goods etc. There was also a kitchen if you prefer to cook lunch/dinner yourself. It is not exactly in the center but a quick walk away.

I didn't mark the score down for this, but since Krakow was so snowy everyone entered the hostel with wet shoes and there was no rug in reception which would have kept things a lot cleaner. Also the bathroom didn't have a bathmat so the floor got quite wet. Really small problems.

Very nice hostel in the centre of Krakow at a good level - equipment, staff, cleaness. Really close to the center, you dont need to use public transport, can go by foot. There is a bus stop right next to the hostel from where you can go to Wieliczka! Great. We liked the included breakfast, tasty.

We had little problems with parking place - if you go by car let them know in time to reservate the parking place for you. The hotel has just few places, when we had come it was full, but we find place near from hostel and during weekend it was free.

Very clean, simple and central hostel. Right next to small shops, a supermarket and ten minutes from central Krakow and a two minute walk from the river. A decent wee breakfast every morning was included. And the staff were friendly but unfortunately didn't understand me.

The showers were very temperamental. Unless you got up first thing and got in..you had a very cold shower haha. I said to the staff but they didn't understand my accent so handy Google translate came into play.. it seemed to get sorted out in the final morning. And the rooms were roasting. Even with Aircon. But overall I'd probably stay again.

Great place! Near the city center! Big lockers! Breakfast was beautiful and it's big advantage! Price was so welcoming! Definitely will book this place again!

No curtains on the beds and bed light was not working.

The location is good as it was just outside the main city. I would recommend the rooms with 4 beds as it’s more comfortable than the 12 bed rooms. The breakfast is a nice addition. The staff were helpful and friendly, especially Carina who helped me to add another night after my plans changed. The price is very affordable. I would recommend staying there.
