Accommodations and Meals

     This is the most typical form of lodging for our Polish Course participants. The charge for accommodations in a double room is included in the Polish Course fee. You can also request a single room at a surcharge of 40 Euros.
     The rooms are rented out most frequently by people living on their own: students, professionals, retired people, sometimes also by families. Your hosts may have some knowledge of English; they may also turn out to speak Polish only. In every case you will have access to the kitchen, which you are free to use to prepare your breakfasts and suppers.
     Sharing an apartment or house with an individual or a family gives you the opportunity to practise Polish with your hosts and to learn about everyday life in Polish in Poland as well as about some Polish customs and traditions (some courses take place over Easter or other important Polish holidays). Some of the Polish Course participants stay in touch with their "Polish families" after the Polish Course, exchange letters or e-mails or visit each other.
     This type of accommodation is not recommended for those who wish to have complete privacy during their stay as in most cases all the facilities (bathroom, kitchen) will be shared. But it is definitely the least expensive option.

     We have a few flats fully at our disposal, which we offer solely to our Polish Course participants. If you wish to stay in a separate flat, there will be a surcharge of 130 Euros for the entire two weeks. If 2 or 3 Polish Course participants share a separate flat consisting of 2 or 3 rooms, the surcharge of 140 Euros will be split among them.

     We can also help you make a hotel reservation (in this case we charge the Polish Course fee without accommodation). Prices in Polish in Krakow start at about 12 Euros per night for a bed in a double room (you need a roommate for this option) or about 20 Euros per night for a single room in a student hostel. These rates apply if you book a room for 2 weeks. Prices for a single room in a modest hotel start at about 30 Euros per night.
     If you choose this option, we need your information as early as possible, since Polish in Krakow is popular with travellers and it is sometimes difficult to find a suitable room at a reasonable rate for a period longer than a few days.
     You can also make a reservation yourself using one of the following websites:

     In private accommodations and separate flats (and also in some student hostels) you can make your own breakfast and supper. Inexpensive lunches are available at numerous small restaurants in the city centre, where you will probably be spending most of your spare time.
