Garden House Apartments in Krakow

The staff is excellent, the girls are so young but so good at what they do and extremely professional and hospitable. They are extremely proactive and ready to help you however possible. I think everyone writes about the breakfast which is true, it's a lavish buffet meal, the guy at the reception made crepes that were the best I've ever had. The hostel is right next to the castle and bang in the center of everything. I even walked to the hostel from the bus station and it was not a bad walk with the luggage, about 20 minutes.

The facilities are minimal. There were 6 bunk beds in a small room. The beds are noisy and there's no space in the room. Also there are no table/chairs or any other storage space in the room apart from the locker given under the bed with a small lock and key which I find to be kind of primitive. The whole hostel is kind of old fashioned. Even though the hostel is in a back alley away from the main streets, the people at the hostel were loud and it was not a comfortable stay. Bathrooms were unisex which I don't prefer, they are also very open, and offer less privacy. Each floor has one toilet and 2 showers for about 12 people which I think is less. Bathroom has zero toiletries, not even body wash. Outside is just handwash. I booked dizzy daisy after this hostel and it was like heaven in terms of modernism, space, cleanliness and facilities.
