Reviews
Graham from New Zealand (9/10)
We had a very spacious room on the top floor, which was very quiet. The location of the hotel was great, close enough to the main square but very peaceful. They kindly provided a breakfast/lunch box when we had to leave at 6.30am for a trip to Auschwitz. We also enjoyed the 24hr coffee in the Orangerie. Overall we loved Krakow and Hotel Wawel.
Jerry from United Kingdom (9/10)
Location was excellent, easy walk from the Station and to the centre of the city. The staff were very helpful and informative.
Dearbhla from Ireland (9/10)
Hotel Wawel is in the perfect location. It is central and safe with easy access to the main square and surrounding restaurants and shops. Every staff member we met from arrival to departure was helpful and courteous. When I said that we were going on a full day excursion leaving at 5:45 breakfast/lunch was offered and then left for us to collect to bring with us. I didn't even ask – it was so generously offered. The Hotel Wawel was making sure that we were well fed and watered as the bags were full to the brim of healthy and nutritious food. Access to the hot chocolate maker was perfect befoge bed time! Our room was clean and comfortable! Thank you so much to everyone for ensuring that our stay was a great one.
