“The location, in Krakow's Old Town, is a clear win; this is a solid choice for travelers prioritizing location and value. Its Art Nouveau style adds character, while the communal kitchen can save money and foster a friendly vibe. Expect some city sounds given the central spot, but the location is hard to beat.”
