It is a great place to stay if you want your own room, to drop off your stuff for the day, and a quiet place to sleep.

Thin walls, lazy staff
Posted 6 Jul 2024 on HotelsStaff is so lazy they don't even put sheets on the bed for you. I've never been to a hotel or hostel where you put the sheets on the bed yourself and there's no room service to remove sheets from your room. I had a private room, and the walls were so thin that I was woken up twice at 3am by the neighbor's alarm

It is a very small hostel, so don't expect the massive social areas you would normally see. Beds are comfortable, there is a 20 zlotys key deposit but you get it back. Worth it for the price, very clean.

Hey, hi!
Thanks a lot for taking the time and sharing your feedback. We appreciate it!
Well, you know, in comparison to the majority of Krakow hostels, our hostel is just extremely huge and spacious.
We offer 20+ beds in private rooms and 101+ beds in dorm rooms. It means that we can afford to host even a really big group. A few common areas - cafe zone, reception zone, and kitchen zone. Besides that, in April we are opening a gastrobar downstairs and
the courtyard next to bar.))
So, when you are back to Krakow next time, please give yourself a chance to check out our new upgrades!)
Best wishes,
Lorf Hostels team

Dear guest,
Thank you for your time and feedback. We appreciate it. A few important remarks. The heating did not work at full capacity due to technical malfunctions, which, unfortunately, could not be eliminated during the Christmas and New Year holidays, since the service technical support was on the holidays. However, at the request of customers, we immediately provided additional blankets and portable heaters. We also want to inform you that at the first opportunity, we called for service technical support, which has already brought the heating system into full readiness. We apologize for any temporary inconvenience.
We would like to remind you that as soon as you have any questions or difficulties, please contact our hostel immediately. And here we will try to do everything possible and impossible to help you.
We would be very happy to host you again. Kindest regards and best wishes.

Exceptional value close to old town
Posted 7 Nov 2019 on HotelsThe hostel is quite spacious and quiet. It appears to be fairly new. An exceptional value so close to the old town. There's a restaurant called Chata nearby which is also good.

Good place to stay in Krakow with great location and clean rooms. One thing we don't like was bad wifi connection.

The male desk clerk is a scammer and harasser!
Posted 27 Sep 2019 on HotelsThe male desk clerk has serious and dishonest issues! He tried to scam me into giving him more money! He said that my multi-day stay required me to check out at 10 am each day then check back in at 2 pm...leaving my stuff in the luggage room for 4 hours per day. He said if I did not do this, I would have to pay more money! He showed me the registration paper where it states that check out is at 10 and check in is at 2. He said I had to do this every day or else pay extra. I explained that check in is at 2 on the first day and check out at 10 on the last day...not every day. He kept insisting angrily that I would have to pay him extra. He even came in my room at 10 am one day and violently shook my bed to wake me up, having ignored his colleague’s note about my multi-day booking. When I called hotels.com about the clerk’s harassment and scam, hotels.com rep called the guy who then claimed he didn’t speak English! The hostel needs to fire this guy and look into his mental state. Otherwise, it’s a nice hostel and the female clerk is absolutely lovely and efficient.
