My husband, infant daughter and I stayed in the apartment on Szeroka for 2 nights. The apartment was surprisingly spacious, with a separate kitchen, living room and bedroom and furnished in a functional, modern way. (There was even coffee in the kitchen!) This apartment is on the ground floor, which was great for us to not have to haul our... More

The secret is out! This place was great. We had a nearby apartment which was great value. Airport transfer option was taken up by us and for a few extra dollars, well worth it. Apartment very clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. Excellent security. Great breakfast. A short walk to the Jewish quarter which was a lot less touristy than... More

On arrival the place looks a bit like a prison, but don't let this put you off! The receptionists were extremely helpful and polite, which gave a good start to our trip. The rooms are much more than what one would expect from a youth hostel. It is possible to book a room with en-suite, which I would advise, but... More

The Secret Garden Hostel is conveniently located in Kaziemierz, the former Jewish quarter. It´s a 10 minute walk to Old Town Square, but this romantic walk takes you past many scenic hotspots such as Wawel hill. Kaziemierz affords one more peace and quiet than Old Town Square, and the restaurants in this neigborhood are plentiful, excellent and diverse. The Secret... More

I stayed in the Secret Garden for a few nights in April and found it to be great. The room and bathroom down the hall were clean and the breakfast good. The people running the facility were outstanding. Bikes could be rented, stamps bought and even a ride to the airport could be arranged. It is in a good part... More

Just perfect! All the rooms are decorated differently and named after their decoration - ours, for example, was called "Fledged Cornflower" - beautiful and perfectly clean. Also, the hotel has a small garden to sit in, breakfast is very good, and the staff are doing everything they can to make you feel at home. I also enjoyed that you could... More

Just returned from a 5 night stay here and it was great! On arrival we were told we would be upgraded to one of the apartments because of a noisy group of students who had been staying in the hostel. The apartment was so clean and had wonderful attention to detail in the design. (Memory foam mattress and pillows, little... More

We loved our stay at the Secret Garden Hostel. We were in Room 24 which is a private twin room. It was spacious and had a private bath. The bathroom was great...spacious and clean. We also had towels provided for the shower which was great. The room was more like a hotel and very affordable. They had plenty of outlets... More
