Bling Bling is a hostel in Krakow that we had the misfortune to book whilst in Warsaw. By the far the worst hostel I've ever stayed in - and there's been a few rough ones...The name might tempt you (a bit wacky, crazy) but don't be fooled. All I'll say is bed bugs and gloom. Right next door is a lovely, clean spacious hostel called Dizzy Daisy's. Go there for a good time in Krakow, but a MUST is the Jewish quarter. Very bohemian and friendly with a shocking history, but a truly beautiful place to spend an afternoon. Get away from the crowds.

Bling Bling is an awful place-don't go there. They say its *non-smoking* but is full of smoke due to staff and clients grouping in the hall with the reception door open. Soon, the hostel, only slightly bigger than my apartment, is full of smoke. It is dangerous to those with respiratory/heart problems (like me), pregnant women, children and those with cancerous coonditions (like me). The breakfast is substantial and is the only good point.
