Set in Kraków, within 1.1 km of Lost Souls Alley and less than 1 km of Wawel Royal Castle, Evergreen Hostel Krakow offers accommodation with free WiFi. The property is located 1 km from Town Hall Tower, 1 km from Main Market Square and 1 km from Cloth Hall. The property is less than 1 km from St. Mary's Basilica, and within 800 metres of the city centre.

Originally I booked to stay at this hostel for 3 days and ended up extending my stay to a total of 10. I fell in love with Krakow, but also the hostel made it so much more comfortable to stay longer. The owner Nick is amazing and helps you with any questions - whether it's going to visit the surrounding areas, bus times, or just general advice about the city. It's not a party hostel, which I really loved because you can sleep well but also socialize with other backpackers and head into the city together. This was one of my favourite top three hostels that I've ever travelled too. Would highly reccomend. You can't go wrong!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location, only a 5/10 minute walk away from the shopping centre Galeria Krakowska. Outside of the shopping centre is the Kiss & Ride bus stop which is where the tours we booked picked us up from. The room was a good size, everything was very clean. It was ideal for a place to sleep and freshen up while you explore all day. The reception staff were helpful in arranging our airport taxis and answered my messages via booking.com quickly. For a budget hotel it was very good.
