Little Havana Party Hostel

Opened in 2015, this is the best hostel in Kraków if you want to keep a drink in your hand the entire time you're here. Cuban-themed with a colourful, exotic aesthetic and explicitly aimed at the 18-35 backpacking crowd (which they will remind you of with your confirmation), the slick common room features leather couches, a foosball table and it's own bar (with cheap drinks) - and you'll find two more bars downstairs in the building at their affiliated venues Papitos (mini-burgers) and Teatro Cubano (music club). There's a fully-equipped kitchen and the mixed dorms are big, bright and clean with 6-14 bunks, and come with proper mattresses, lockers, reading lights, charging outlets and shared bathrooms. You won't find much peace and quiet, but you're sure to have an epic time thanks to the staff who will keep you plied with alcohol and crazy ideas for how to keep raging until long after the dying of the light.
