Student Hotel Piast

Piast represents a sturdy alternative for backpackers who don't want the standard youth hostel experience. Piast is part of a university complex and it offers dozens of rooms for decidedly decent prices. Rooms kick off at 55 zl for a single - not at all bad in our books. There are also doubles and triples, and there's a canteen downstairs. In the same building you'll find cash machines, a hair-dresser, a laundry and a chinese restaurant. Take a tram or bus for swiftest access to the Old Town.

un posto comodissimo a 200 m dalla fermata del tram per il centro e 50 m dal bus per le vie centrali pulito e silenzioso un bagno ogni 2 camere molto economico da 15 euro x una singola a 22 euro per una doppia nel palazo ce la sala dove si puo fare colazione al costo di 2 euro e 50 e si puo anche pranzare a prezzi eccezzionali , ce la posta e un ristorante cine se il giornalaio e un picccolo pub dove una birrra costa 1 euro e 50

I've been there in 2007. It was clean and comfortable, cheap and safe.
My main review: I'll be back this summer.

Dorm Studenski Piast! One of the first things I learned to say during my visit to Krakow when my polish speaking boyfriend and I were flying stand by and there was a chance I'd get there before him. lol We do a lot of traveling but I have to say Krakow is my all time favorite and staying at the piast was perfect. The tram was just a few block away, you could buy the tickets for the tram downstairs and a few moments later you're in the center of the city. you want to do some more drinking but dont want to worry about gettting back to the correct hotel? Not a problem ... there's a bar at the very bottom level .. then you can just stumble to the elevator (lift) and go right to your room. Ladies be careful in some restrooms if you walk to far in you might find a guy at a urinal ...not something I was used to being from the States... but was quick to learn. Dorm Studentski Piast! Is the best place for super comfort, super cheap and best location!

I was able to stay at hotel piast for 3 weeks. staff was exceptional!! very helpful,friendly atmosphere.Will stay there again on next visit.
