What guests mention
Guests particularly appreciate the included breakfast and dinner, describing the meals as a meaningful bonus for a low-cost Krakow stay. The always-available drinks and simple snacks also make the hostel feel accommodating between outings. It is best suited to sociable adult travellers who are comfortable with a communal hostel environment: the property’s age range, group limits and no-stag policy are important to note before booking. Those seeking a more private or hotel-like experience may prefer elsewhere.

What guests who stayed here recommend
Real advice grouped by theme — drawn from guest reviews of Greg&Tom Hostel.
Book a private double room for quiet, extra space and strong value when traveling as a couple.
Choose a four-bed dorm for more privacy and quiet; four- and six-bed rooms have no bunks, so either works if convenience matters less.
Request a back-facing room to avoid main-road traffic noise from the street-facing rooms.
Request a room away from the kitchen, reception and breakfast areas for quieter sleep; rooms near reception suit deep sleepers.
Choose a lower-floor room for quieter surroundings and easier luggage handling; the floor below reception has three large bedrooms and a quiet lounge.
Request a second-floor room for extra bathrooms, quiet surroundings and an additional communal lounge.
Book in advance and confirm that your reservation is available.
In winter, request a bed near the heater and dress for very warm indoor temperatures; use the heater to dry gloves or towels.
Keep the dorm door closed to block communal-area noise and sleep peacefully.
Book the private downstairs room for a sofa and camp bed if you need space for more than two people.
Choose a four-bed room in the upstairs apartments for a comfortable option.
Try a five-person room for a sociable atmosphere without excessive crowding, with beds comfortably separated.

Bring or request a thicker blanket instead of relying on a thin one.

Choose an eight-bed dorm for a generally quiet stay, but bring an eye mask because the curtains may not block enough light.
About Greg&Tom Hostel
Greg&Tom Hostel is the sort of sociable Krakow base that makes budget travel feel easy rather than bare-bones. Its appeal is in the generous shared setup: relaxed common rooms with big-screen entertainment and a sizeable DVD library, three guest kitchens, and dorms or double rooms paired with modern bathrooms featuring massage showers. There’s no curfew or lockout, so it suits travellers who like to set their own rhythm.
In Krakow, it’s geared toward independent guests aged 18 to 50 looking for a friendly, practical place to sleep, meet people and get local advice. The team is on hand around the clock for help with tickets and transport, while free maps and guidebooks make exploring simpler. Early arrivals can settle into the lounge with a coffee while waiting for their bed, and guests may continue using the common areas after the 10am checkout. Towels, linen, lockers and Wi-Fi are included.
The standout detail guests mention is the food: complimentary breakfast and dinner add real value, especially for travellers watching their spending. Around-the-clock tea, coffee, milk, fruit and cereal are another welcome touch. This is a hostel built around shared spaces and an upbeat atmosphere, rather than a quiet, private retreat; its age limit and restrictions on stag parties and larger groups help keep that social vibe from tipping into chaos.
