Horrible place

This was the most disgusting "homeless shelter" setting you could imagine. Booked 2 rooms and paid online...showed up and no rooms and the place was disgustlingly filthy and disorganized. Would not stay here under any circumstances.

The woman that owns this place is an alcoholic and only spoke Polish. She refused to let me stay until two other young women arrived and translated for me. She told me through them that she wanted 750 zlotys for one night. I ended up giving her 10 euros. I left the following morning and found accommodation in central Krakow at the Bubble Hostel on Barstowa Street near the Barbican Gate. You should not allow anyone to book into this place that does not speak Polish. I took a tram to Branowice Male, the last stop, and then walked 2.3 klm to get to this place. It really wasn't worth the effort. I paid 210 zlotys for 3 nights accommodation at the Bubble Hostel in Krakow, which gives you an idea of how much the owner of the 4Friends Hostel at 28 Lipca was trying to extort from me. The woman was so drunk she had difficulty putting the 4 digit code into the lock for the cupboard that held the key to my room. That place at 28 Lipca was a nightmare. I wouldn't stay there again if YOU PAID ME. I will check both my bank accounts to see if any funds have been withdrawn for this booking. If so I expect A FULL REFUND. Thanks...
