It takes chutzpah, or at least a finely developed sense of dark humor, for a hostel to hang a huge promotional poster hawking Quentin Tarantino's "Hostel" in their lounge. And what a lounge: swank, with black walls, the hostel's signature stencil wallpaper, a massive mobile, and a corner Internet station.
City Hostel is that unusual beast, a hostel put together at an aesthetic level that few hotels manage. The entire hostel is beautiful if austere, like a super glamorous monastery. Sturdy bedframes, gorgeous stencil wallpaper, and very little else in the way of ornamentation may not sound like a design coup, but in fact these rooms are stunning in their minimalism.
Bathrooms are altogether less glamorous, though the floors feature rows of tiny goldenrod tiles, and shower curtains are bold and colorful. Both touches inject a little flair into otherwise basic bathrooms.
City Hostel is linked to Hotel Classic around the corner, and shares certain of Classic's facilities. The hostel's safe deposit box, for example, is located at Hotel Classic.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the City Hostel neighborhood
Stare Miasto forms the heart of Old Krakow. Encircled by a greenbelt park and bookended by Wawel (Castle) Hill at its south and the Florian Gate at its north, Krakow's Old Town is dizzyingly full of sights. At the center of Stare Miasto is Rynek Glowny, or the Main Market Square, the biggest medieval city square in all of Europe. Stare Miasto is so chock full of historically significant buildings that it feels a bit like an open-air museum. Among the many highlights: St. Andrew's Church, a Romanesque church that dates back to the 11th Century, Rynek Glowny's magnificent 16th-century Cloth Hall, and the Wawel Castle and Cathedral. There are plenty of swank cafes and folksy restaurants to provide a break from the tourist action. Many of Krakow's hotels can also be found in Stare Miasto, in particular north of Rynek Glowny.
