I've never felt more welcome than in this hostel. The girls behind the counter were so helpful every step of the way. Between drawing out maps for us, making reservations at clubs and restaurants for us, and by looking up bus/train times for us it made the whole trip so enjoyable and smooth. Ask and it will be delivered. Barbara... More

Me and my group of friends were moved to the Zodiakus from the original hostel we booked and what a fantastic stroke of luck that we were! The location of the hostel is fantastic - only a 5 minute walk from the Old Market Square. The facilities were of a good standard for a hostel, with brilliant bathrooms and a... More

Excellent location and very friendly, helpful staff! I don't think I've ever met a group of staff that made me feel so welcome. Immediately I felt like I found a new home. Clean, nice and great atmosphere! I was a bit apprehensive from reading some of the sour reviews, but after staying here I can say that much of it... More

I had a private room for 2 nights with my girlfriend, they gave us a 4 beds for the same price with private toilet too. Excellent location, close to the old town ,the royal palace/cathedral and the main train station. Staff was helpful and kind and breakfast was more than enough, what else could we ask for about 10 euros... More

Zodiakus Hostel was perfect for what we were looking for. Extremely close to the train station and Old Town. The train station was about 3 blocks away and 2 of them were across the square. Also, there is no need to cross a street since there is a pedestrian underpass complete with "toalety" & shops. From this same underpass the... More

Recently I came back to Krakow, because I fell in love in this city. That is when I have discovered this little place, very close to all main tourist attractions and to the Train station. This hostel is superb. I can not say enough. It is small yet cozy, staff is great and knowledgable, they will go up and beyond... More

Very close to the Main Market Square. A 5 minute walk through the great park. Staff very nice and helpful. The breakfast is amazing (if you're up early). Clean. Very nice common room, with tv, films, etc... The only "negative" thing is the slow wifi, which ends up by not being a problem since in Kraków you can find free... More

I've thought long and hard about saying this, but this really is the worst hostel I have ever stayed in. I have been hosteling in over 20 countries and the Zodiakus is abysmal in its quality as a place to stay. Shortly after arrival two drunk men entered the hostel without being questioned and within 5 minutes they were brawling... More

From the moment you enter inside this hostel, you feel the sincere atmosphere of it. Staff is amazingly helpful and fun. It is like visiting a friend to have a drink and chat, rather than having a budget accomodation for a couple of nights. I have stayed in many hostels during my trip and Zodiakus is the only one which... More
