Modern View of Planty Park Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw “Modern View of Planty Park,” I was expecting another generic hotel with a fancy name. But you know what? This place actually delivers on that promise, and then some. The moment you walk into the lobby, you get why they chose that name. Those floor-to-ceiling windows facing Kraków’s famous green belt aren’t just for show – they frame the park like living artwork, especially in the morning when the light hits just right.

What really got me was how they’ve managed to feel genuinely modern without being cold or sterile. I mean, it’s a solid 3-star property, so don’t expect marble everything, but the design choices are smart. The rooms are clean-lined and comfortable, with these great little touches like USB ports actually placed where you need them (revolutionary, I know). The beds are honestly better than some 4-star places I’ve stayed – firm but not like sleeping on concrete. And that park view? Even from the third floor, you’re looking out at treetops and joggers instead of traffic. Though fair warning: if you’re here during summer, those same joggers start early, but the double-glazed windows keep most of the sound out.

The location is what makes this place special, though locals probably roll their eyes at tourists discovering it. You’re literally steps from Planty Park’s walking paths, which means you can cut through to the Old Town in about ten minutes on foot – way faster than dealing with taxis in those narrow medieval streets. There’s this little café called Kawiarnia Noworolski just around the corner that most guidebooks miss, and honestly, their pierogi beats half the tourist traps in the main square. The hotel staff actually knows stuff like this too, which surprised me. Usually you get blank stares when you ask about anything beyond the standard attractions, but these folks seem to actually live in the city. Check-in was smooth, parking is available (though you’ll pay extra for it – this is central Kraków, after all), and the Wi-Fi actually works throughout the building. The breakfast isn’t going to change your life, but it’s fresh and there’s enough variety to keep you happy for a few days. I’d definitely stay here again, especially if I wanted to explore the city on foot without feeling like I’m camping in a hostel or blowing my budget on some boutique place that’s all style and no substance.

    Location

  • Barbara from United Kingdom (8/10)

    There was a door code. The reason it didn't meet our expectations, was because we thought we was getting that first room in the picture. Didn't realise there was more rooms. But our stay was still wonderful 😁
