What an amazing place for students! The location (several tram stops to city center), the amenities (gym, study&work rooms), common kitchen (where you always can meet and connect to others), cinema, yoga rooms (!!!), private room (where I felt like home - nice interior, comfortable furniture, great layout), the staff and ambassadors, which do a great job to connect all community everyday and offer events where everyone is taking cared of - all this under one SHED Living Krakow roof. Definitely recommend to everyone who arrives to this beautiful city for studies
Clean, modern but unconformable in little and easy to have details... like a big bottle of soap that makes no foam, no air conditioner or ventilation in the room, no hair dryer in the room, you should borrow it for particular hour downstairs... no curtains or shades for closing the window partially, you can only close it completely dark, towels not in the shower but on your bed, surprise :) Tiny little details that make stay comfortable. Unfortunately. Could be easily done much much better. Add client thinking...
Hello, I’ve been living here like 7 months and here are pros and cons about the place as a Master’s Student moved from abroad. Common Areas: This place has the BEST common areas by far. It’s always super clean and refreshing. You can almost always find someone to socialize or just chill by yourself. I love Chill Zone and Study Zone. There is a HUGE kitchen which is great you can cook everything you want. It includes 2 ovens as well. Not only that you can also book a private dining room, cinema and two conference rooms as well, but you need to book them early since there are a lot of tenants. My favorite is Cinema you will enjoy watching movies there. There is also coffee machine and vending machines where you can grab a snack at late night. SHED has a great terrace and it has the best view when there is a clear sunset. There is also a GYM not the best but enough for you to workout, next to it you can find a yoga room where you can meditate. Laundry is not good because machines almost always having some issues (mostly filter problems) you need to contact with laundry company for refunding your money. Also washing your clothes is a bit expensive. Finally Gaming Room was great when I first get here but then whenever I go it’s always packed with people. Elevators were HUGE problem, almost all of them were broken constantly however they seem to fixed it so it’s good now. I have no idea about parking since I don’t have any experience on that but there are a lot of space and a huge garage. Rooms: I love room layout and spaces you will not have any issues putting your clothes & stuff, but the walls are so thin you can hear everything from next room. And since it’s a student dormitory quite hours are not respected. I remember waking up a sound coming from the hall several times. There is almost always sounds coming in front of the building unless you close your window it’s impossible to sleep. I stay in a compact room and no problem with kitchenette and bathroom it’s more than enough for a single person. Bed size is good. No problems with heating. Wi-fi is really bad i am afraid they are trying to fix the issue but it seems not to be working. I use my mobile data on my phone due to slow wifi so keep that in mind. Staff: I love how staff is willing to help you in every way they can. Whenever I had a problem they were there to help me. I mentioned some problems but they never ignored them they constantly try to improve our experiences. The only thing I can tell about staff of SHED is that they are really good. Entertainment: In every special day SHED comes up with great parties and celebrations. I attached a photo from pumpkin carving event for halloween. You will not disappoint regarding having a good time. Location: You can walk to Krakow old town, it takes apx. 25-30 minutes. Or you can take a tram It is close to Reymana station. It has a really great park nearby it’s a huge plus. One downside I would say that there is only a single small market right under dormitory and thats pretty much it you need to carry your bags if you want to do detailed groceries. Overall Experience: I will remember SHED as a great experience, but there are bad sides and good sides of living here so I hope you find this helpful. :)
Dorm life has surprised me in the best way. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but it turns out living here is a perfect mix of independence and connection. Sure, the room isn’t huge and it gets a little too warm when the sun’s out – but honestly, it’s smartly set up and super functional. What I love most are the shared spaces: the kitchen and dining area make it so easy to meet people over coffee or a late-night snack. We’ve got a gym that’s great for quick workouts and even a movie room for cozy evenings in. But the real highlight? The people. I’ve met some genuinely kind, funny, and inspiring folks here. It’s more than just a place to stay – it feels like a little community where something’s always happening.
I am living here for around 6 months. Location is great, 15 min to the city center when walking. Common areas are always super clean, even though lots of youngsters live here. Gym is 10/10. Some tenants behave loudly, but after a talk it is easily fixed. At the reception people are very friendly and always say “hello” 😁 Definitely recommended.
I've been living here for about a year now and my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The obvious cons with the building are that the walls are a bit thin and the elevators break down frequently. However, administration is very open and work extremely hard to make the experience as good as possible. Compared to other buildings in the city, the community atmosphere that SHED provides is hands down THE BEST. People are always in the common areas and it is very easy to make friends because the atmosphere is so welcoming. If you want more private living with less socialization a regular apartment building may be a better fit for you. But if you are a student or young professional new to Krakow and want to live in a vibrant building with great common areas and a solid gym, SHED is the best option in Krakow. It's not a perfect building but easily one of the best living experiences I've ever had. If you see the building for yourself you will understand what I mean. PS, many of the negative reviews you see are from a disgruntled couple who were asked to leave the building because they caused many conflicts with administration and other tenants (including me). They making a bunch of fake accounts to tarnish SHED's reputation, which is not deserved.
Very nice place. Located in the best area of krakow. You can just walk 20’ to the city center. Or enjoy the parks around. They are doing parties and lots of activities for the tenants so we really feel welcomed. They are always taking the recommendations we give them.
