About
Evergreen Hostel Krakow
Evergreen Hostel Krakow sits on Wojciecha Boguslawskiego, a quiet street roughly 500 metres from Church of St Giles and a short drive from the Krakow Pinball Museum. The hostel runs on a few simple ideas: shared spaces that encourage conversation, dorms with privacy curtains, and a visible commitment to cutting waste.
Rooms are straightforward dormitories – female-only four- and six-bed options plus a mixed six-bed – each with a shower and heating. Downstairs, the shared kitchen is stocked for self-catering, and the common room tends to collect travellers rather than empty chairs. Staff are repeatedly described as warm, knowledgeable, and quick with local recommendations.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Staff praised for genuine hospitality — Guests repeatedly describe the team – and owner Nic in particular – as friendly, caring, and quick with solid local recommendations, from restaurants to sights.
- Quiet yet central location — A short walk from the old town and the Jewish quarter, but set on a quiet street, so travellers report sleeping well despite being in the centre.
- Comfortable bunks with privacy curtains — The dorm beds come with curtains, and guests call them comfortable – a combination that shows up in almost every review.
- Eco-friendly operations — The hostel runs on sustainability – zero-waste touches, waste segregation, energy reduction, and lots of plants – and travellers appreciate it.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this isn't the place – the policy is firm.
- Shared dormitories only — There are no private rooms, so you'll be sharing with other travellers; the female-only dorms offer a bit more privacy but still a shared experience.
- Check-in only between 15:00 and 22:00 — If you arrive late in Krakow, you'll need to plan around a narrower window than many hotels offer.
- Rating sits slightly below the area average — At 8.4, it's solid, but the local average is 8.8 – so it's not the highest-rated hostel in the neighbourhood.
