  • Neveseliy from Ukraine (8/10)

    The location is simply gorgeous. The center is within walking distance. Very convenient transportation. Large spacious room. Friendly staff.

  • Darren from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Everything. Superb. I cannot fault this hotel. Just been with a group of friends and it was fantastic. Effortless check in that took five minutes for five rooms. Friendly professional staff. The rooms were absolutely spotless, comfy beds, fridge, aircon, towels changed daily and plenty of wardrobe space. Breakfast was brilliant so much choice but my favourite, as on any holiday, is scrambled eggs and bacon! Here it was totally fresh and properly cooked, fantastic. About a two minute walk to the Jewish Quarter with its fantastic bars and restaurants and about a ten minute walk to the main square. An Uber from the airport is about £12. I’ve been to Krakow 9 times and this is the best place I have stayed. Well done to all the staff, chefs and management.

  • Karenlewis36 from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Lovely clean hotel. Perfect location between old town and Jewish Quarter. Trams directly outside our hotel. Didn't hear any trams from our room. Breakfast was good, had my favourite cereal whilst on holiday, good selection of meats, cheese, fruit, yoghurt and cooked breakfast. Staff was pleasant. Not much of English channels on the TV, only news so watched netflix on my phone. WiFi was good.
