Elephant on the Moon Eco Hostel, Krakow, Poland

Don\'t hestitate - book a bed!

You are invited to relax in the cosy and friendly atmosphere of Krakow\'s first eco-friendly hostel, just a short walk from the old town and all its attractions. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings of Elephant on the Moon, situated on a bend of the picturesque Vistula river, and unwind in our garden amond the magnolias and rhodedendrons after a long day\'s sightseeing or a night on the tiles. There you can toss a coin into our fountain, and make a wish. Who knows, it may come true; this is, after all, magical Krakow...

It\'s easy to reach all the best that Krakow has to offer from the hostel - so you will never be far from Wawel Castle, the historic market square, and the former Jewish district of Kazimierz. We can also help you plan trips further afield, to Auschwitz, the breathtaking Tatra mountains, the salt mine at Wielicka, and more...

Three of the most legendary national football nations have chosen to make Krakow their home for Euro 2012. And, when you choose to stay at Elephant on the Moon, you will not only be sharing the city with the stars of England, Italy and The Netherlands, but you will also be right next to the action - for the hostel is just a short stroll from the designated \'fan zone\' for the tournament. Fans of all nations will be entertained on Krakow\'s Błonia fields, which lie slap bang in between the city\'s Wisła FC and Cracovia FC stadia. You couldn\'t get closer unless you were actually on the pitch!

We\'ve got everything you need during your stay, including:

A hearty breakfast, at no extra cost, every day. And if you\'re thinking of hostel fare as toast and coffee, think again - you might not need to eat again until dinner time!
