Summer Hostel

Pretty well-organised and friendly place to stay, "Bursa" Summer Hostel is aimed squarely at backpackers, students, and families looking for cheap but clean accommodation. Located in student quarters belonging to the Jagiellonian University, they offer a good range of ancillary services, such as a TV room, pay phones and fax machine, as well as plenty of free advice for those looking to take tours within and beyond Cracow. The hostel is affiliated to several student travel schemes, so bring along your ISIC and other student cards for discounts! Rather smart and informative website.

the bursa summer hostel is a bit behind more modern hostels in terms of facilities and vibes, but i really like the opportunity to stay in a Polish halls of residence and get a real flavour of life in Krakow
