About

Moon Hostel Krakow

Moon Hostel Krakow is a 2-star property that positions you in the middle of Kazimierz, the historic Jewish district, just a 6-minute stroll from the area's cultural landmarks. The old town is within walking distance, and the main train station is close by, making it a practical base for exploring the city.

The hostel keeps things simple: free Wi-Fi in public areas, a shared kitchen, and a choice of private rooms or shared dorms. There's a range of room types, from singles to six-bed dorms, all with heating and most with private bathrooms. Parking is available for those arriving by car.

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Excellent location in Kazimierz — A 6-minute walk from Krakow's Jewish cultural sites and close to the old town and river, with a tram stop just around the corner.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Comfort and facilities score lower — Guest ratings for comfort (6.1) and facilities (6.5) are noticeably lower than the overall rating, suggesting basic amenities.
  • Shared kitchen can get crowded — One guest noted the common kitchen was a nice addition but could be busy at peak times, which may affect meal prep.
  • Limited room amenities — Rooms listed without private bathrooms are basic, and even those with bathrooms lack extras like air conditioning or TVs in all room types.
