About
Flower Rooms - Krakow
Flower Rooms is a compact hostel in the heart of Krakow's Old Town, on Sw. Tomasza Street. It offers a handful of rooms and a shared kitchen/living area, making it feel more like a guesthouse than a traditional hostel. The location is the main draw — the Main Square is about 100 metres away, and the Wawel Royal Castle is a 20-minute stroll.
Rooms are simple but clean, with options ranging from twin and double rooms to self-catering apartments. All rooms come with heating and a shower, and some have city views. The property also has a washing machine, a fully equipped kitchen, and free Wi-Fi — a practical set-up for travellers who want to settle in and explore at their own pace.

Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Basic breakfast — The included breakfast is simple — coffee, milk, cereal, cheese, ham, and bread — enough to start the day, but nothing more.
- Simple rooms — While clean, the rooms are described as basic, with twin beds and standard furnishings rather than luxury touches.
- Potential noise from nearby bars — The central location means lively bars are close by, though most guests report not being disturbed.
- Check-in window limited to 15:00–23:59 — Arrivals outside this window may need to arrange alternative entry, which could be a hurdle for late or early flights.
- No pets allowed — Travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere, as the property doesn't accommodate pets.

7.8Verified guest“I keep coming back on weekends. The staff gave me useful tips about currency exchange, and everything I need is here — Wi-Fi, parking, kettle, cookware, a TV.”
7.8Verified guest“A cosy hostel in a great spot, just next to the Old Town Square.”
7.8Verified guest“The location is superb, the service is caring and friendly, and the price is excellent for what you get.”
7.8Verified guest“We had a spacious, well-furnished apartment a few steps from the main square. It was beautifully decorated with plenty of amenities. I loved the hot water and the celebratory bottle of sparkling wine for New Year's Eve. The building was impressive, and even with lively bars nearby, we weren't disturbed. A local milk bar at the entrance added to the authentic, affordable feel. The only downside: we couldn't stay longer.”
7.8Verified guest“Great place, great staff, great location — you won't regret it. It feels more like a guesthouse than a hostel, and it's very quiet. You can't beat the location, just a few minutes' walk from the main square, and it's about 20 minutes on foot from the station. Pawel from the staff was especially helpful and friendly.”
7.8Verified guest“The private bathrooms with showers were so clean and spacious, it felt like a luxury spa. I almost forgot I was in a hostel.”
