BED BUGS!!! Great hostel but unfortunately there are bed bugs crawling through the beds - not sure if they are in the furniture too. Stayed 23rd to 27th November - it didn't sound like the hostel were going to do anything about the issue after I informed them. I now also see a review from October which mentions them too. Cost a lot to wash all my clothes and winter coat after my stay. I've heard good things about other hostels in Krakow - stay elsewhere in my opinion.

Ambiance exceptionnelle, les espaces partagés permettent de rencontrer du monde ! Rapport qualité/prix très bon. Repas digne d’un restaurant ! Seul bémol, j’ai vu des punaises de lit dans mon lit. J’ai acheté du produit pour les éliminer. Je n’étais pas très rassuré d’autant plus qu’il y’avait bien la présence de traces de punaises sur le matelas et sur le bois du lit. Le personnel a pris la chose à la légère en me disant qu’ils n’avaient pas d’autre lit et que je pouvais partir et être remboursé pour les n

Booked here for a week in October. I heard so many great things about the Hostel and was so excited to stay. I checked in and got my room easily. First thing I do in any hostel is check for bedbugs. I immediately found evidence of bedbugs all around the edges of my wooden bed frame. I checked the other beds in the room and they had it as well. 2 stars because they did take it seriously. They did seem like they were just finding out about the issue as it hadn't got too bad yet. The staff was very friendly and gave me a refund and spent a lot of time helping me find somewhere else to stay. They also let me hang out to charge my phone and use the internet, and I was still able to join in some of the activities. Hopefully this issue has been fixed as I've heard nothing but good things otherwise.

Vibe Analysis
The included dinner is the main social engine here: sign up in time, sit down together, and the meal does a lot of the ice-breaking. Breakfast is also included, with coffee, tea, and fruit adding to the easy-value setup. Greg & Tom Hostel sits in a very practical Krakow spot, close to the main train and bus station and within walking distance of the Old Town. The staff can be warm, helpful, and quick with fixes, and the place can feel friendly without being a full-throttle party machine. Expect an older apartment-building setup rather than a shiny purpose-built hostel. Rooms and common spaces vary, and the social spark is strongest around food; outside that, it can feel calmer or tighter than expected.
Signals to check
- Beds can be squeaky, thin, worn, and without curtains.
- Bathrooms are limited on some floors, sometimes around one toilet or shower for a block of rooms.
- There is no elevator, and upper-floor rooms can mean a serious luggage haul.
- Common areas can feel small, and the atmosphere is not always highly social outside mealtimes.
- Dinner and breakfast may run low if arrival is late.
