Information Hostel & Bar Giraffe
A wise traveller knows that a hostel is about the experience you have there, so read about a typical traveller's week in Hostel Giraffe;
Monday I arrived in Krakow, my plan is to stay for 3 days and then I will go to the next city. I checked into my hostel and it's great. It's so relaxed, the staff are friendly and helpful and they have a bar! I spent most of the day playing on the free pool and fussball tables. In the evening the bartender let us play around on microphones. We were beatboxing and singing. It was so fun.
Tuesday I took a free walking tour around Krakow, and WOW, this is a beautiful city. When we returned to the hostel after a few drinks there was an amazing open mic concert, with loads of talented musicians. What a hostel, I booked an extra night...
Wednesday Today I caught up with my friends on Facebook and Skype, then I washed all my clothes. How many hostels have free internet and laundry??? The evening was pretty relaxed, interesting conversations with the staff and other guests. I'm sad I only have 2 nights left.
Thursday I went to the Jewish District today, it was great. The city has so much culture. In the evening some of the staff took us around some great bars, it was basically a free pub crawl. This is possibly the best hostel in the world. I'm going to stay for the weekend.
Friday After spending the day playing chess and reading a book from the hostel's bookswap, we started to play twister in the evening. Then we started to hear music, and we asked where it was from - THERE IS A SECRET NIGHTCLUB DOWNSTAIRS. A bunch of the guests went down there and it was great, I don't remember what time I went to bed.
Saturday Ooh, hangover! This Polish vodka is strong stuff. Tonight will be my last night, and I dont feel too good. I watched a few movies on the big screen, and tried to party, but my stomach wouldn't let me. I could hear the bass from the club downstairs, and couldn't sleep until it stopped at 3am. The people working were good company though, so I didn't mind too much.
Sunday I left the hostel, and I miss it already. It was a great place to make friends and have fun. I will definately be back one day. I would reccomend the place to anyone who wants to party and have a great time.
