Janexim is a funky guesthouse located just west of Stare Miasto. Encompassing 25 rooms (and an additional 10 apartments) Janexim feels more like a pension than a hostel.
Its homey main office sets the tone—it's a kitschy, low-key room in an old 19th-century building. Full of paintings of flowers and animals, it resembles, if anything, an artist's atelier.
Rooms, located off twisting hallways, are a hodgepodge of unmatched furniture, bedside lamps, and even pillowcases. We found the overall effect to be more charming than anything else, though those craving uniformity will certainly be disappointed.
There are apartments in eight buildings, all located near the main office. Note that only one of these buildings has an elevator. Prospective visitors who cannot handle stairs should request ahead. Janexim's breakfasts are very light.
Neither hip nor aesthetically consistent, Janexim is a good cheap, if slightly grubby, option. The location on lively ul. Karmelicka is another selling point.
