In Košice there's no reason to look for an address far from the centre. The cathedral, the tower, the gold treasure and Kulturpark all sit on Hlavná Street or just off it, so a place to stay in or right next to the core means everything is a walk away.
The core around Hlavná Street
The city is small enough that the whole visit, from the cathedral to the City Park, is walked without a single ride. An address on Hlavná Street or the streets around it means the day isn't lost getting to and from sights, and in the evening the fountain and the lit-up cathedral are just steps from the door.
What a night costs
A dorm bed at Cassovia Hostel runs €20 (dorm, Cassovia Hostel) — the only hostel in town with a clearly listed bed price; the other hostel found offers only private rooms. A three-star hotel costs €36–64 per person for a double room.
From the airport to the core
bus line 23 (DPMK) to the centre runs from the airport straight to the centre, about 20 min for €1.20. From there, every address in the core is only a few streets away on foot.
