I arrived in Krakow around 2.30pm. I went inside the bus station to buy my next ticket to Berlin. I then went to the hostel to check in. not staying too long because I wanted to see the city, I put my stuff away and went for a walk. While walking I bought a bread 'circle' with sesame seeds. There are many vendors and they cost about 1.20 zelt or …
Krakow, Not Warsaw...(Poland)
Poland's a bit weird....It's not one of those exotic countries, it's not western and it's not quite eastern either. We were initially thinking of going to Warsaw, being the capital etc. But after several conversations and recommendations from various travellers along the way, we decided on Krakow; and whilst we don't have any room for comparison, I …
Leader of the pack
When I arrived in Krakow at the Giraffe Hostel I was not expecting to see my old friend Matt Sherwin and I definitely was not expecting to see 30 Rugby players from Leeds on a Stag trip hell bent on destruction! The poor bloke at the desk look shocked and exhausted and even offered us to change hostels and he would refund our deposit. Because we …

TravelPod Member ReviewsHostel Giraffe Krakow
The hostel itself was ok. The people were nice but the whole place smelled like cigarette smoke. It was explained that in a week the anti-smoking law would go into effect so everyone was going overboard with their smoking, but I don't know.
Also, I was staying in one of the dorm rooms and I woke up to find a guy touching my forehead. After I sat up and started talking angrily at him, he left the room, and then I went to reception and explained the situation and all she could say to me was "Sometimes we have weird guests." There was no offer to help find the creek that came into the room so that it wouldn't happen again or so it wouldn't happen to someone else. I feel that other hostels would have done more in that situation.
