    Needed a cheap stay close to airport. The DS is a student hall of residence, clean, functional convenient. It's on a main bus route into the city so would be an ideal place for tourists.

    Nothing :)

    Great facilities, very clean and friendly staff at the reception (open 24/7). It is a (I believe) former student housing and the rooms are great. Highly recommend

    My only issue was that I found hair on the bed so it was probably not cleaned properly.

    It was very good quality compared to the price. Honestly I expected a bit less since it’s a dormitory but I highly recommend it for short stays.

    The hotel I stayed in Krakow this time truly exceeded my expectations! The value for money was amazing. The room was not only clean and tidy, but also incredibly comfortable, and I didn't feel the fatigue of traveling at all. Best of all, the price was incredibly reasonable. For such a great experience, it was a steal! The hotel even had free washing machines, which was incredibly practical for a few-day stay. After washing my clothes, I could continue my shopping trip fresh and clean. It was a fantastic experience! I highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Krakow.

    This accommodation has the basic facilities like mini refrigerator, private bathroom, beds. We stayed for 3 nights. So far, we never had problems since it is quiet during night that we were able to sleep well. There is a bus stop nearby. The staff are friendly and they try to communicate in english.

    Though, the location can make it difficult to return sometimes from different places of Krakow. Bronowice Station is better connected than Krakow Central

    Has enough things and the people are nice. Meets expectations.

    the pillows are too thin, had to pile them up. outside is quite noisy because of the road behind.

    the price is great, the building itself is neat and clean, easy check-in and nice staff.

    Room was little bit warm, but not so bad that it would have made sleeping difficult. A weird smell in the room, also not too strong/ 5 minutes in the room and wouldn't notice it anymore.

    The place is obviously not fancy but no one can hardly expect something else for such an affordable price. No TV in the room but personally during hot summer days I find a fridge much more important and it was very nice to have that in the room. Location was alright, good public transportation. I arrived already just over 8 am hoping to be able to leave my luggage there until check in time. Well, the room was ready and they already allowed me to check in so early in the morning. That is very much appreciated.

    There is no soap, body wash or shampoo, but it's as expected.

    The check in/out was quick and smooth. The room was spacious and clean. There is a fridge in the room and a functional microwave in the shared kitchen which was handy. The Wi-Fi was surprisingly decent, too. Good location, relatively close to the centre. All in all fantastic place to stay for the price!

    Being a student dorm, there are no utilities whatsoever - no soap in bathroom, no toilet paper. The kitchen is a common area (as we knew prior) but it has NOTHING. Only a kettle, microwave and stove. No cutlery, no plates, no pots, nothing at all. You can not cook anything unless you brought your kitchen with you on vacation. I'd expect that if you put a student dorm on booking, you would provide some conditions for guests.

    It has an elevator, there is possibility to do laundry, there are fridges and lamps in the rooms. Water pressure was ok.
