Chili Hostel is located outside the old center of Krakow but not that far away. There is a good infrastructure of public transport so you can easily move around. The price to stay at Krakow is very good and the free towel they provide is good as well. There is a bakery and supermarket around the corner to get drinks and food. The hostel itself offers that too but I did not see how to purchase them as the reception wasn't manned all the time.

I checked in late so I had to call the reception on the phone for them to provide me instructions on how to get in. The room I was put in was packed and there was one guy who stayed up all night. This is not the fault of Chili Hostel of course as they can't control the behaviour of guests. Fortunately they were willing enough to provide options and relocate me to another room. Also the upper bunk bed doesn't have curtains around so you have no privacy at all as opposed to the lower bunk bed. In regards to the amount of beds in that room I would say it would have been better if they got rid of 1 or 2 bunkbeds to allow for more space and comfort.

- it was clean (room, bed clothes etc) However sheets could be changed for new ones because you can see that those are already wore out - location

- it was cold in the room during evenings and nights (outside was approx. - 10°C) even though the heater was turned on (still not working the best). The reception lady (very nice person!) gave me an extra blanket so it was a little bit better. Nevertheless, the hostel should take more care of heating especially during winter - there is no kitchen - no breakfast option - rooms can't be closed so everyone can enter shared rooms (I'm talking mainly about aspects of nights). I would feel safer if I could lock even a shared room from inside

Sizeable and clean dormitory, comfortable beds with two sockets each, kettle with supplies for hot drinks, lockers with locks provided. Washing machine, iron, drying rack and hairdryer in the bathroom. Fridge in the hallway. Exceptionally friendly staff. Very close to a tram stop, but it's not too loud at night. Great value for the price.

Mixed-gender shared bathroom with rather wide gaps in the toilet and shower stalls, to be honest I didn't feel very safe in there as a young woman.

Good location, nice beds, complimentary coffee and tea in the room. Good TV signal, nice hot water in the shower. Bed was soft and comfy, covers were not excessively warm. There is a fridge with drinks for purchase in the reception.

Bathroom was slightly messy and sinks were dirty, maybe because I came in very close to closing time. Some noise from trams. but accepted and expected given the area. Hoping there was a way to keep the fan on on low, independently from the room light.

It's relatively affordable. The shower was the highlight of this hostel, very spacious, clean, with good water pressure and temperature. The bed was comfy, and the locker fit all my belongings easily. The girl at reception and the cleaning lady were both Ukrainian, so it was easy for us to understand each other. They were both very nice

I chose this hostel bc it was cheap and more or less close to the lake I wanted to visit, but the weather was awful, so the only advantage of this hostel was gone for me. The hostel itself is tiny and located near a busy road with a tram line. Expect everything to vibrate every time a tram passes. You have to knock relatively loudly on the door to be heard and let in before you get your key.

Everyone, especially the reception staff, was very kind and respectful. Even if you come in the summer season like me, it is possible to get personal space here, it has a balcony and a modest garden. As far as I have observed in a few days, when you come to Chili, you will be a guest in a quiet accommodation atmosphere, not with many floors and dozens of rooms like others.

The hostel was perfectly clean and staff was helpful. No problem is experienced during checkin or checkout. Will stay again.

The room might become a little cold during nights, so better ask for an extra blanket. Also its a little bit far from city center by walk, but the area is safe.

The hostel is quite cozy and comfortable. Its design is really nice. There are lockers in the room. The balcony and the backyard are quite nice.

The check in starts only at 5 PM. That's definitely too late. The pillow was very tiny. There was a TV set right above my bed with all the wires. I don't think it's safe, therefore I wasn't quite comfortable with it. I wish there were a kitchen at the hostel. The upper beds didn't have any curtains. There was no light next to the beds.

- very close from two train stations and very close to the city centre - 24 hours supermarket just around the corner - staff was very friendly - room was clean and quiet - very good price deal

- the bathrooms were in overall clean but the gap between the shower doors and the floor or on the toilet cabine were a bit uncomfortable

A clean, nice hostel. Room is a bit too small for such number of beds, but the little curtains on the beds really help with having a bit of privacy. Good, clean shower rooms.

It would be great if every bed had their own little lamp. Wifi is awful, some days it didn't work at all, and when it did work, you could barely use it for messaging.
