„The Boat “ ist ein schwimmendes Hotel. Alles sauber, nettes freundliches Personal. In 5 min zur Bus und Straßenbahn Haltestelle. Anbindung zum Flughafen (Buß 30 min.) Innenstadt und Bahnhof (Straßenbahn ca. 15 min.) Wir hoffen das wir bald wieder hier Übernachten können.

There was one person that stood out for me & that was the guy Kamil on reception. His customer service is excellent, service with a smile and nothing was too much trouble. He went above and beyond to make our stay on the boat easy . This boat is a hidden gem 💎... the location is superb.

While I’m still traveling Europe, I’m currently on my 21st country and this place is one of my favorite places I stayed. A piece of advice for other travelers though, make sure you type in the address of the hostel and make sure it correlates with where it’s at bc I typed in the name and it sent me to another place on the other side of the river. Also the local tram is super convenient and right on the other side of the street.

Bar was available if you spoke to staff - weather was cold so they sat in reception and would assist if you wanted a drink. There are a couple of Zabkas in the old town, The Forum is close by and has a food court. There's also an excellent restaurant on a boat a 2 minute walk away.

Good location just over the river from the castle. The room was nice and had everything that we needed and the staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the bar on top of the boat sitting in the sun. Really enjoyed our stay here.

Very friendly and helpful staff. It's simple and good value for money. Bunkbeds are probably a bit small for tall people, but for me it was ok. Good location with walking distance to old town and direct bus to airport.

Qué puedo decir,el personal muy amable,la ubicación perfecta, cercana a todo a pie o en transporte público, la habitación excelente, no le pide nada a ningún hotel de “mayor categoría”. No se por qué cuando me hospedé creo que fui el único huésped del día, siendo que en cuanto a calidad-precio, lo que ofrece es increíble. Si vuelvo a Cracovia claramente volveré a hospedarme aquí, y recomiendo a todos quienes tienen pensado ir, que se alojen aquí. 10/10

Die Übernachtung in der Koje auf dem Boot war eine besondere Erfahrung. Das Boot liegt zentral vor Anker und eine Haltestelle der Flughafenlinie 300 gibt es quasi vor der Haustür. Habe die kurze Auszeit in Krakau in vollen Zügen genossen. Die Dusche ist modern, das Handwaschbecken eher was für Zwerge.

Area is just outside the center of Krakow which is quieter but also lacking some points of interest. Staying on the boat was such an amazing experience, particularly the glasshouse dining at the back. Note that this being a boat, the walls between the rooms are quite thin and noise does transfer across.

I recommend this hotel. It is in a good location, close to the city center, and I also got a clean room, and they also provide wifi. Also, everything from the reception is good. A good balance of price and service. If I get the chance to go back to Krakow, I will stay here.

Overall, the four of us had a great time. Cons the beds seem shorter than usual single bed lengths The shower cubicle is very small, the windows barely open, so it was very hot during our stay if your not too picky, this is a great tiny place, I mean a boat on the river. If your not too picky, then this is a great tiny location, I mean a boat on the river. That's okay? The staff was friendly and helpful. The hostel is close to many attractions and has a lovely view drinking beer on the top deck was cool. Breakfast is adequate and has a decent selection. Despite their shortness, I found the beds comfortable, and the pillows are bliss. The entire location was very clean.

We spent a few nights there last week. We were a group of four adults. Nice location if you want to be near Kazimier and has a nice view of the castle and saint's church. Michael across the street. There is a bus stop very close but the taxi is very cheap and they can call you one from reception. Negative The cabins are very small for four persons. Beds not suitable for taller ones. The shower cabin, although it looks impressive, is completely ready to collapse and very small, and because there is no window or ventilation in the bathroom after you have a shower, the humidity kills you. Breakfast is served in a very nice part of the boat, there isn't much to choose from at the buffet, but I couldn't ask for more for the price we paid. Breakfast starts at 8 am, if you go after 8. 309. 00 most of the things have finished and no replacement. So be the first one if you're hungry. The stuff was helpful. It's a good experience for a couple days but the struggles are definitely the best way to explore and walk along the river since you live on the river bank.
