A pretty city, a horrible hostel - Krakau, Poland
4 Stars This place was Great visited Aug 21, 2005
Rides: 1 train Before leaving Warsaw, we rang a hostel or two and found one that was reasonably prices, offered free internet and laundry, and free transport from the train station. Perfect! we thought. The Hostel Cadillac is a student dorm during the year. Poor sudents. In every sense of the word, I think. We were on the top floor which it felt like climbing a small mountain. I never did find a toilet in the place that had a properly attached seat. The showers were communal, which is quite common in hostels, it seems, but they were also unisex. There were plenty of washing machines, but finding the one that worked in the whole hostel was the challenge (they haven't heard of "out of order" signs). The first night i rang another hostel to arrange to move the next day, but by the ext morning we decided that having our own room (no one was ever put in the spare bed in our room) and not having to pack up again and lug our stuff across town made staying worth while.
