Reviews

  • Ibrahim from Saudi Arabia (10/10)

    I had the pleasure of staying at The Balthazar boutique hotel during my recent visit to Krakow and I must say, it was a delightful experience. One of the biggest challenges with hotels in the city center is parking, but the hotel's concierge went above and beyond to help me out. They provided me with a Google maps link to a nearby parking garage and even arranged for a taxi to pick me up and carry my suitcase. What's more, they covered the cost of the taxi, which was a nice surprise.

    Once I arrived at the hotel, I was impressed by the stylish decor of the lobby. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and check-in was a breeze. I was pleased to find that my room was just as comfortable and practical as I had hoped. The heated floor in the WC was a particularly nice touch, especially on chilly mornings.

    Overall, I highly recommend The Balthazar boutique hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in Krakow. The staff's attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile made my stay truly memorable.

  • Debra from United Kingdom (9/10)

  • Kay from United Kingdom (10/10)

    Everything! Perfect location, lovely staff, stunning room and spotlessly clean. Got upgraded on arrival.

  • Callum from United Kingdom (10/10)

    I mean it is exactly as it is advertised. A beautiful designer hotel mixing old and new styles into a wonderful hotel to stay at. Whether as a treat or to class up your stay, it was everything and more than I could hope for. The level of professionalism was exceptional, even if a bit intimidating at first for my countryside sensibilities. Greeted, offered immediate service, drink, and shown to room. In the room we were welcomed by complimentary drinks and snack as well as an absolutely gorgeous room.

    Breakfast was worth every penny and a must for anyone booking stay here! Fiorentina is one of the best restaurants in Kraków and possibly the best I've ever had the pleasure of eating at.

  • Abigail from United Kingdom (9/10)
