I had a mixed experience at Deco Hostel in Krakow. On one hand, the hostel's aesthetic is stunning, making it feel more like a boutique hotel than a typical hostel. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with tips for exploring the city. However, I found the atmosphere a bit strange, as there were large groups of long-term guests which made it feel less like a travelers' haven. Overall, while it's charming and clean, it might not cater well to backpackers seeking a more traditional hostel vibe.

My stay at Hostel Deco was a mixed experience. The charm of its vintage decor and free amenities was offset by a few cleanliness issues and noisy disturbances from parties. Overall, it’s a decent budget choice, especially for social travelers, but some aspects could use improvement.

I stayed in a cozy private room that was nicely decorated, although some vintage touches were quirky rather than appealing. The shared bathrooms were clean, but the lack of soundproofing was noticeable during busy times.

With free Wi-Fi, laundry, and bike rentals available, the facilities were quite generous for a budget hostel. However, the lack of air-conditioning made the summer nights quite uncomfortable.

I had a fantastic stay at Hostel Deco. the location was ideal, just a 10-minute walk to Old Town, with plenty of dining options nearby. The staff was incredibly helpful, especially when it came to booking tours. The cleanliness of the facilities was impressive, though the kitchen could benefit from an update. Overall, I found it to be more of a cozy boutique hotel experience than a typical hostel.

I had a pleasant stay at Hostel Deco, drawn in by its stunning Art Deco decor and comfortable private room. The staff were incredibly helpful, particularly Robert, who went above and beyond when I lost my phone. However, the lack of a lift and the slightly distant location from the main square were minor drawbacks.

I had a really great experience at Hostel Deco! The staff were super friendly and went above and beyond to make my stay special, like setting aside a vegetarian sandwich just for me. The room had a lovely view and was well-decorated, but the lack of an elevator and the location a bit away from the old town might be a downside for some. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it and would stay there again!
