From helping us out with a short-notice extra night because I'd gotten my dates mixed up, to ringing around to help us organise bike hire and an endless amount of knowledge on local attractions and opportunities, the staff the Hostel Deco were friendly, astute and flexible. We thoroughly enjoyed the quaint attic-room "pidgeon coop" which was quiet and had lovely views from the 5th floor. You do need to be prepared to deal with stairs - 110 to our room, but well worth it.

awesome original Art Deco housing!!
Extremely authentic Art Deco place with lots of original furniture from the 1930s. Loved the room, it was spacious and nicely decorated with film posters of 'Metropolis'. Shared bathroom was clean, although we had run out of toilet paper. Unfortunately they don't provide towles. The shared kitchen is actually way too small considering the amount of rooms they have. Fridge was totally full. In walking distance to Old Town.

Highly recommended this friendly well positioned hostel. The staff are very helpful and the hostel has a very relaxed vibe. Easy to get to from the airport via bus 208 or 308 and an easy walk to all main sights. Will definitely stay here again

Not a happy camper on this property
This is one of those I regret booking for 7 nights. I only stayed one night and it's because I arrived very late. If I arrived early I would have tried to find another place to stay. The room does not look, feel, and smell clean. I felt grossed out. It smelled dirty, old and not fresh, even the bed. I feel like taking a shower after sleeping in it, and of course I did. Also, I was put on the 5th floor. No elevator. I had to go up and down the stairs for some issues during my check in. The good thing though, the staff were good. The one who checked me in helped me with my luggage to the 5th floor. The manager was considerate about how I feel about my stay and gave me a partial refund for the remaining nights except for 2 nights since their cancellation policy is 48 hours, I think. However, he only gave me the amount that would have been due to them. The rest of the payment, hotels.com kept even though the manager cancelled my last 5 nights. I tried contacting hotels.com about it and also the manager did but I never got a responsefrom hotels.com about it. Hotels.com got a big commission for the number of days that the property agreed to cancel for me (5 nights) So, hotels.com, please give my money back for the 5 nights commission and tax.

Love staying at Hostel Deco!
Originally booked for a week, and ended up adding an extra 4 nights. Very clean and friendly. The front desk staff is awesome and they are there 24 hours a day. I know because i was up drinking really late one night in the common room and went out to chat with the front desk person after everyone else fell asleep. The bed is really comfy. I do wish it could be a bit wider, but it is definitely long enough and im 2 meters tall so that's saying something. Bathrooms super clean. the place has a nice backyard, and there are several places to eat, buy snacks, and beers.

Great no frills accommodation for budget stay
My friend and I wanted a base to explore Krakow from. This couldn't have worked out better, we had a late flight so wouldn't be checking in until midnight. I sent a message in advance and they confirmed that they have a 24hr check in so that would be fine... they then offered to arrange a transfer for us! The guy who picked us up was great, he told us some of the things we should see while we were there and it only took us about 20 min to get to the hostel. We paid for our room on arrival and were able to put a deposit down for towels too. They also have lockers for luggage so when we had to check out at 11 on our last day we got one of these too so we didn't have to hang around the place. (They also arranged our transfer back to the airport). The room was fine we had a double which was a huge space, but very basic. Would be nice with a bit of updating - decent wardrobe to hang clothes if you wanted, a MIRROR would be great but like I say it was a base for us. We shared a bathroom with two other rooms - 1 toilet, shower and sink. Again it was fine, we were out and about most of the time so just needed showers in between and never had a problem with getting in. The hostel is about 15-20 min walk from the main square, but there's shops local so you can grab bits for the room as you need. We had a great time and will definitely go again, I would stay there again with friends as it was secure, clean and the staff were really helpful.

Very nice place, clean, big rooms and comfortable. The only problem is that they don't have enough plugs in the room. Only 2 for 8 persons... But everything else it's perfect. I recommend to stay here. And I hope my comment will make the hostel add more connections or something.

Basic but pretty and cheap.
I've stayed here several times as it's so cheap and I love the style of the rooms. It can be quite noisy with people coming and going so take earplugs, and being in the downstairs room with the window open in summer meant that cigarette smoke smells came in from the garden. All clean though, except that the floor in the bedroom definitely needed a sweep. Really friendly lady on reception.

10 minutes from the old town and 10 the city centre. Couldn't ask for a better location. The staff are grate always willing to help, one night they helped us ordered us pizza! The shared bathroom was always clean and never felt like we were sharing it. The common room and kitchen were always clean too. Each room has it's own name and personality which I thought was really nice touch. On the last day after check out they will keep your bags until your ready to go. The WiFi was quick. Only negative was around 7am every morning we would get woken up by the loudest noises. My guess is it something to do with the bins. If there's any way to make it quieter that would be great.

“Just okay for a night”
I stayed only for a night in a co-ed dorm; could hardly sleep firstly because of noisy people coming back after midnight and then due to loud snoring by a guy. The bathroom facilities were poor given that the no. of bathrooms is too low for so many people. Also, there is not wash basin inside the toilet and one has to wait to access the basin inside the shower-room when empty. This was really very inconvenient. The staff was friendly and nice.

Bit awayfrom the centre
It's about 20 minutes walk from the old town so might not suit everyone. The location seems safe. Most of the staff are really friendly but one lady was unhelpful. The room key system was one actual key not a card key like in most places. This meant I had to wake fellow guests at night to access the room so not particularly fantastic. Room was generally tidy with plenty of power points.

Great breakfast, thin walls
Was generally happy with the stay, however the walls are very thin and the wooden floorboards mean you can hear everyone coming and going at all hours. I suggest using earplugs. The buffet breakfast was really good and great value. 15zl for the usual cold breakfast foods plus eggs and saussages, tea, coffee and juice. The communal kitchen was clean and well equipped and the bathroom was modern and clean. The mattress was a bit uncomfortable and my husband woke up with a sore back. Great location, walking distance from all of the major sights.

Disappointed
My four nights' stay at Hostel Deco weren't particularly pleasant. On the plus side, there was no problem checking in at a minute past midnight. (Flight delayed by circulating till a thunderstorm had abated, then waiting on tarmac till it was safe for ground staff to work outside.) On the other hand, when I went back downstairs a few minutes after arrival to request a towel (10 Zloty deposit), I earned the undying disapproval of the person on duty at the night desk by inadvertently interrupting her cigarette break just outside the front door. (She stubbed out her cig more than half unsmoked, presumably after presuming it would be quiet at that hour.) Other problems: no en-suite, as I knew in advance; but the neatest toilet on my floor had no wash basin, so if someone goes into the shower room while you're on the loo, you'll have to wait till they've finished their shower/ablutions or whatever to wash your hands. Also on the third morning from about 5:20 a.m. my neighbours spent around 2 hours clattering around getting ready to leave. Napoleon's army's preparation for invading Russia was probably a bit noisier, though not much. ;-( Finally, the wifi in my second-floor room was very unreliable. The signal dropped so often I gave up trying to use it. (Didn't try it in the common room downstairs. It might work at other locations.)

simple quirky hostel. just outside the old town. staff were pretty good. they gave us a free load of laundry with our stay. windows open out onto a busy street and by a crossing so there is noise all night. no fans in the room. shared bathrooms were nice but the shower drained so slowly you had to stop and wait alot. not bad but could do better

The room is big but dark. I turned on all the lights but it's still dark and a bit creepy with the pictures and old looking furniture. It's almost 2km walk to the city center. But the reception was 24hrs and they ordered me a cab when I need one early in the morning.
