Overly helpful staff; and turtles. Beautiful view on Wisła and Wawel.
The bed linen wasn't obvious to me, but that's just me.

Clean. Easy checkin
Rooftop lounge closed in the mornings. Maybe close off the bar but allow guests to chill up there. No atmosphere but that's ok, I'm sure there is one when the season is busier

Great value offering. Nice staff. Thanks for accommodating later check in and English.
Just wish I could stay another day but booked. That’s not really a bad thing. Couldn’t find soap and desk was vacant so I grabbed one from another open room. Not a problem.

The room was clean, the stuff very very helpful
The bed was terrible. The pillow was extremely hard and very uncomfortable for sleeping. Also, there was a strange smell in the room, i guess that’s why they keep the doors opened before you check in. I didn’t feel it at first, but in the next days it was there everytime i entered the room. When i got home, my pijamas were smelling the same, so i guess it had something to do with the bed, as none of my other clothes smelled.

1. Rooms are guaranteed to be private (you get a full room to yourself always) 2. Inspiring location on the river 3. Convenient location 4. Exceptional shared dining area with (!) a turtle aquarium
The sink in the bathroom was a little too small to wash face without spilling the water, but it's a minor issue.

Location- It was just in the middle of all attractions. The experience of the hotel on the water was excellent. Staff brilliant ?
It was a hotel on the water so obviously some things like mouldy/black wallpaper in the corner put me off. But in their defence I need to admit that it was nice and dry in the room. Dehumidifier was in. And I didn't feel any discomfort - as normally if it will be a real mould in the room I have usually an allergy reaction. The wallpaper was probably just old and needed changing.

I've stayed here for about five times, and it's my favorite place to stay in Kraków. The staff is professional and welcoming even at late hours. The room has everything you need, plus extra blankets. The location is perfect, the Wawel Castle is within 5 minutes walking distance, and you can easily get to the railway station by tram, avoiding traffic jams. Best value for the money, will visit again!

An interesting experience, perfect location, friendly stuff. There were just two of us in the cabin, so it felt comfortable, not sure if it would be the case for four people.

Excellent location and cool experience. I loved to woke up in the middle of the river.
The bed is a small bed, as I expected (it’s a boat!), so it wasn’t a negative point.

Poor
I was very disappointed. Being a hostel, I was expecting to meet people and the boat to have a vibrant atmosphere. The staff were not particularly friendly or helpful. The decor drab. Cabin was sufficient. There was an eating area, and I wasn't sure of the purpose. Above on deck was a lovely big seating area that only seemed to open in the evening as a bar. The location wasn't central to bars or restaurants, and you had to walk a good 10 minutes to get to any.

Peaceful on the river, super view of castle and monastery, few stops to trams to old city (or walkable) and bus to airport. Lovely chill out lounge area and rooftop bar. Recommend the Japanese Art Gallery and cafe very close by. Window view of swans on river and boats. Room (bunk beds but private) was comfortable and modern bathroom with shower. Staff all kind and helpful. Recommend Guru walking tours of the old city.
