Liked: The location is really convenient, being a corner away from the main square. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Disliked: i slept in room 6, which was just outside the common area. It gets noisy when people are talking. officially, there's a guideline that quiet time is observed when it is 23:00 but this is not always observed. There is a bar 2 stories below the hostel and the music, particularly the bass made it difficult to have a good night's rest. Try to get drunk b4 you sleep should u book this room.

Liked: The staff are friendly, they serve great breakfast, and there is a good atmosphere. Mama's hostel is in a great location as well so it is easy to get around Krakow and see the sights. I really liked it here :)

Disliked: Everything was really good - I only wish there were more toilets without showers as sometimes you might need to wait to use the toilet and people are showering... but otherwise very very good!

Liked: They make every possible effort to make your stay great. Was sitting there thinking I need to go out now and buy food, then the staff made a massive pot of traditional Polish soup for everyone. I'm writing this on their free internet. There's a night club and pub in the same building... Handy! And you roll out of bed pretty much into Krokow's main square which is right where you need to be. The view from the balcony is world class. Don't even bother with anywhere unless unless this gaff''s booked out.

Disliked: Matthew left no negative feedback.

13 October 2010 Ian would recommend this property

Liked: Mama’s is NOT the place for you IF: you like to keep away from interesting and sociable travellers from a wide range of backgrounds and nationalities; you enjoy trekking in to the city centre from more than half a minute out; you prefer surly, unhelpful staff who don’t care whether you have a good time let alone treat you as a friend and write up the best things to do each day; you favour shabby, bland or tacky decor; you like dirty or uncomfortable beds; you’d rather pay for the Internet and laundry; you’d prefer not to have free vodka, wine, soup, dumplings and cake; you wouldn’t like to sit on a wooden balcony overlooking a picturesque courtyard; you’d be inconvenienced by a spacious locker in your room; you dislike the idea of paying significantly less than ten euros a night; you’d rather not feel included by everyone present in whatever they are doing in order to make the most of the charming and vibrant city of Cracow. If any of these things apply to you, you’d best go and stay at some mediocre hostel instead.

Disliked: There's nothing to dislike about Mama's unless you are deranged (and probably even if you are).

Liked: Staff were extremely nice and very helpful, they put on various polish events and helped out when it came to deciding where to go clubbing which was good. Atmosphere in general was very good and was extremely easy to meet people there.

Disliked: I thought that the bed I was given was quite uncomfortable - other travellers didn't seem to think theirs was too bad so it might just have been mine.
