Great location and amazing friendly staff, located in the old town square which east to find and check-in. Location is prim!!! Little noisy at odd times in the night but go figure, I was there for one night and happens to be over a Saturday/Sunday night. Otherwise I would stay again. Ps, this was my first time staying at a hostel and was a positive experience!

Probably the best hostel in Krakow
Cheap, good and central seems to be the keywords for this awesome place directly on the Rynok Sq. And if this was not enough, the friendly and jovial staff proved also both overly helpful and flexible. The room was fine and clean, and the facilities like wise. Would recommend this to any budget traveler passing through or staying in Krakòw. Thanks to the staff for keeping this up

False Advertising, but close to Old Town Square
My friend and I both booked a single room and were put in a room of 8. The second night, we were outnumbered by males, even though the website said nothing about the rooms being co-ed. This needs to be mentioned on the website so that people know ahead of time. We left the hostel and found a hotel for the rest of our trip. There are no locks on any of the doors, including the two doors to get you into the hostel from the street. This is a bit concerning. I get that Poland is safe, but if people staying there don't feel safe, you need to put locks on the doors. You never know who could walk into the hostel, it could be someone dangerous. It's also pretty hard to find. Wish there was a sign on the street telling you in was in that alcove.

Not so nice
The hostel is at a convenient location and that's all it got going for it. The staff is rude and don't particularly care. The bed and bedding are not clean and uncomfortable.

I think it should be a rule that only individuals under a specific age, i.e 25 or 30 are allowed to stay in the room with bunk beds. It was definitely weird seeing older men sleeping in the room with me.

Cheap hostel near the city centre.
Average hostel experience with superb location, just right at the city centre. Staffs are (a bit) above average. The room does not have enough electrical socket for every bed. Bathrooms were just an-ok. Still, very cheap price. You need to walk up the stairs for 2 more floors to get to the reception though.

Good location but very dirty bedding
The stairs up to the hostel are dangerous. The duvets are extremely dirty and stained. Lights leading to top floor don't work so dangerous at nighttime. Staff are extremely friendly. The main floor has been modernised but top floor needs drastic work. Room had no drawers or wardrobes to put clothes away. No blinds or curtains on the windows and room wasn't cleaned the whole week we were their. Location is perfect. If maintainance was carried out and new duvets were put in rooms it would be a nice place to stay

Wonderful experience in Krakow!
Nice stay! Perfect location of the main square! The dorm's window opens up to see all of the performers and people walking below! Nice traditional polish breakfast and a comfortable dorm. They do not let you store your luggage so check in and check out times should try to be on time. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean bathrooms and rooms. Overall a great place to stay!

Good location for a low price!
I stayed at the hostel rynek 7 for two nights during my stay in krakow, poland. The location is very convenient due to the fact that is located in the main square/center of city. Walking distance from the galeria mall shopping center and bus/train station. Nice view from my window. Nice and helpful staff.

one night waiting
It was the end of my trip and I needed a place to land. It was loud because the room was by reception and I could hear the phone ringing, buzzer for the door and hard walking on the floor.I didn't find the amenities that impressive. The pillow was flat, chairs in the kitchen were flimsy and some lights out in the bathroom and my room. The location can't be beat, but be prepared to carry your stuff up three flights of stairs! Reception is a ways up. I also wasn't impressed with the host. He seemed to have better things to do. It's 60/40 for me and not in the hostel's favor. They could do better.

Ideal location
Really enjoyed my stay here. The location is perfect. I made use of the buy one, get one free beers and the discount on food and other drinks at the downstairs restaurant. The staff were great. Very helpful especially the young lad. The only negative was the remains of someone's vomit which had sprayed all over the inside of the window and frame. It wasn't cleaned up and we stopped for two nights. That aside, I would definitely stop again as it represents excellent value for money.

Close to town square but too many steps to the hos
Staff were excellent. Beds were comfortable but too low down. Room was on top floor and too many stairs. Old building so no lift. Breakfast was continental style but was to a high standard. Only complaint. NO TOASTER. Prices in bar below on main square expensive but if you walked 1 street away drinks and food were a third of the price. Trips purchased through the hostel were of good value

was a typical hostel, the beds where relatively comfortable the major downside was no curtains on the window so made it difficult to sleep after 0530. great location and the staff were very helpful, a little difficult to find as not really clear signage but was ok after the first time. breakfast was nothing special, standard fare, good to have though.

Lovely hostel, friendly staff and very clean. Location is fantastic with views of the main square and cloth hall however this does have its downside as it's very noisy at night. Hostel could also do with some extra signage as was quite tricky to find.

Simple residence in fabulous location
Hostel Rynek is a classic hostel - inexpensive and minimalist. Staff was however informative and cheerful at all times. The location is superb. Breakfast included in price of room. Bathroom facilities simple and not in room - though private. Hostel is up flights of stairs and no elevator. All in all, if price is a consideration (even if not and you are on a pilgrimage of any sort) consider Hostel Rynek.

Unbeatable for the price
Location Location Location, it is perfect being a few doors away from St Mary Church in Market Square, Staff were superb, they would go out of their way to help you. The view from my window was excellent, straight onto Market square, I enjoyed a coffee & watched the square from my window. Price was excellent. Bed linen (Sheets) was/were very clean but quilts & pillows could have been a little cleaner but it is a hostel. Couple of tips: Salt mine is one bus number 304, buy your bus ticket from a ticket booth & validate it on the bus, you will know when you arrive at the salt mine it's obvious. Do the two free waling tours of Jewish Qtr & Old town Auschwitz trip from City Tours Opposite Mcdonalds by St Florian's Gate, 90 PLN = £18 best you will find & the tour is no different from the more expensive ones

Perfect for a short stay in a heart of Old Krakow
I stayed for 5 days, and loved the place very much. The staff is English speaking and goes out of he way to make sure we have a pleasant stay. It is a hostel, not a hotel, so some amenities are simpler. But some you just won't find anywhere else. we loved to be right there at the Rynek Glovny, hear the bells, and the trumpet on top of Marianska Cathedral. Everything is within walking distance. We will definitely stay there again. And I highly recommend to stop there if you visit Old town.

MIllion Dollar View - Great Price
The hotel is in the heart of the old town in Krakow. Its location is about a 10 minute walk with suitcase/backpack from the train station. I was in room 8, a triple, overlooking the main square. Fantastic views. WiFi is fast and easy. The hotel staff speaks English well. The breakfast is disappointing overall, but for the price for the night I really could't expect more. There are no fans either in the room or for rent so it was hot. Lastly, the Krakow main square is loud and party atmosphere. Fantastic for nightlife, but you may have difficulty sleeping if you want to turn in early.

Hostel 7
This hostel is in the perfect location, right on the old town square. The view out the window was fantastic. We had a 4 person room which was adequate, with our private bathroom being located outside the room. The breakfast was included, but very modest. The staff were very helpful.

Rynek 7
We stayed at Rynek 7 for two nights in late November 2011. It was a tranquil haven when we stayed there. I think we were the only two guests the first night and there was only one other couple next door the second night. We had great views over Krakow's market square. The breakfast is simple but enough. You can eat as much as you like. The staff were always very friendly and helpful. By staying at Rynek 7 you qualify for a VIP card in the bar and restaurant that are in the same building. This VIP card gives some really good deals! We were however somewhat disapointed when we ordered two mulled beers in the No 7 bar. Instead of getting a hot beer with orange, cloves and cinnamon we were served a warmish beer with two bitter pieces of lime! Apparently they had run out of these main ingredients for a mulled beer!! Anyhow, this does not in any way reflect our opinion of the hostel itself.

Nice location, cheap price, but not worth it
The hostel is located right in the center of Krkow in an amazing location, for an amazingly cheap price, but that's about the only thing this hostel has going for it. It was several very old flats that hadn't been cleaned in a century or so. The walls were nice and painted, but the floors were disgusting a dusty, not to mention that the room we had, had workers doing something outside of our window at 7 in the morning. Also since it's amazingly cheap for the neighborhood, it's full of annoying teenagers that laugh and blast music till 3 in the morning, which the staff does nothing about, notwithstanding signs saying quiet time starts at 10 pm. This was in the "nicer" part of the hostel with a private double bed room, where you would expect better maintenance of the facilities, an un-dusty floor, etc., but you get what you pay for. Next time I'll go somewhere else, as there are plenty of reasonably priced hotels all throughout Krakow with much better quality and service for your money.

Hostel Rynek 7...Great Location
Fabulous location overlooking the old town square . Friendly staff. Good internet access ( 2 computors), Good breakfast with tables and chairs in the kitchen area. Disappointing: Several flights of stairs, .never got any T V reception....Fabulous view was obstructed with a large screen covering exterior remodeling so no photos of the old town from the hostal at all. We did have a key to our private bath but it was down the hall......not anywhere near our room.

Excellent location in Krakow
Hotel staff very friendly & helpful, good location right at the edge of the main square, free internet was good. Lots of good & cozy common areas. Only surprise was my bathroom was not 'attached' but was on the same floor and we had to go thru a number of public rooms to get there, and had to lock/unlock it every time. Well, I did ask for a 'private bathroom' and not an 'attached private bathroom'; next time I'll know better with these European joints !!
