About
Ametyst Hostel
Ametyst Hostel sits on Polska Karmelicka 10 in Krakow, part of Lesser Poland. It's a 3-star property with a modest set of amenities: free Wi-Fi in public areas, an electric kettle, and a no-smoking policy. The room lineup includes a Family Room sleeping up to four (one king, one bunk, two singles) and a Dormitory Room with a single bed in a shared space.
Guest ratings reflect a mixed experience. Comfort scores a perfect 10, but Rooms (6.9), Service (7), Value (6.7), and Dining (6.7) lag. The overall rating is 7.8 from 27 reviews, placing it below the area average of 8.8. If you're after bare-bones lodging at a low price, this might suit — but set expectations accordingly.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms rating is low — A 6.9 score for rooms suggests that some guests found the sleeping areas basic or below expectations, even for a budget property.
- Value and dining scores are middling — Both value (6.7) and dining (6.7) sit below the overall rating, hinting that the price-to-quality ratio and on-site food options may not impress everyone.
- No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a furry companion, this hostel isn't an option — the policy is strictly no pets.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in runs only from 15:00 to 23:30, so late-night arrivals may be a problem if your transport is delayed.
