Located in the center of Kraków and with a view of the Saint Florian’s Gate, Brama Old City Rooms offers comfortable rooms with free Wi-Fi. Guests can relax on the sun terrace.

Very good location, right in the center, on a quiet, well-lit street, access to the building is very easy. I liked the idea of ​​having codes on the doors, so you don't have to worry about the keys. Also a good idea is breakfast, offered at McDonald's on the ground floor of the building. The common spaces very clean. although the room had a shared bathroom, the bathroom was only shared by 2 rooms, which is very nice. Very kind staff. The location is very clean, quiet. The room was clean, enough heat, clean bedding. It is a good choice for a city break in Krakow.

    I absolutely recommend Atlantis Hostel! Very helpful staff, excellent central location, absolute cleaness, safety (code locks), stylish design of the common space, excellent kitchen, and plenty of space, complimentary coffee, and tea. I stayed only one night in a dormitory but could well imagine to stay much longer. That is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed.

    One of the best hostels i’ve been. Very clean, big room, comfortable bed and pillow. Nice toilets with isolated shower cabin, hot water. And it couldn't be any cheaper. Girls at the receptions are very nice and the check in is super easy. And i have to add that they accepted some package on behalf of my name and kept it at the reception until i arrived. Im really thankful for that. I really recommend it.

    The hostel was in a perfect location with staff 24/7 always there to assist. As a solo traveler I felt safe and comfortable during my stay, I liked it so much that I even extended. A must try is also the bar crawl as it’s a great way to meet new people and have so much fun. I can’t wait for my next visit here thank you so much to all the staff.
