Wonderful stay at Portal House Apartments! The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Krakow and very close to everything. The apartment was big, nicely decorated and very clean. The bathroom was spacious and beautiful and everything felt well taken care of. The best part was definitely the amazing staff. They welcomed me with warm smiles and made me feel at home right away. So kind and helpful! Breakfast was great to! Lots of choices and everything fresh and tasty. I can really recommend staying here if you appreciate cleanliness, friendly people, and a perfect central location. Thank you so much for making my time in Krakow so much better. Staying at your place was a real highlight of my trip.

Location was great, cleanliness and breakfast as well. Friendly staff. Comfortable bed. The only thing was that the AC was working so poorly. I could never really tell if it was working at all. I could see the receptionist change the AC settings in the hallway, but if any cold air was entering my room, I didn't notice. I would definately come back (and hope to do so next year), but because of the hot room (=bad sleep) I would avoid the summer. Otherwise I would highly recommend this hotel.
Spacious and clean bathroom.
Not huge breakfast, but definitely big enough.
Hard floors. Me like.

A hotel with amazing staff and an extremely helpful owner manager. Beautiful art deco style decor throughout and a lift to all floors as well as stairs, if you would prefer. The reception area is very well kept and the dining area, of to the right, is also. The rooms are delightful, we had good views of the terrace below and could see the main tower in the square from both windows. We had room 8.1 which I believe was a larger bed. Stacks of choice for breakfast, meats & cheeses, cooked eggs & bacon, pastries, cereal, fruit and tea & coffee. We had booked an Auschwitz trip for 0900 Sunday but that got changed to an 0520 pick up, yes, not a typo! The owner/manger, who's name I still can't pronounce, made us a breakfast bag for pick up at 0445, what an absolute star. If that isn't pushing the boundaries I don't know what is. Auschwitz is a very long day, with a very early start, it was a bit too much for me, as I suffer with many ailments. Please be prepared! Buy any mars bars, sweets, drinks and food before you go, as the vending machines at the site are horrifically expensive. It's a 2 minute walk to the main square, where you are spoilt for choice for menus, drinks & desserts. We would happily stay here again and would not bother looking anywhere else.

The hotel is around the corner from the main square and is very walkable to all sites, the train station, and tram options. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. The included breakfast was adequate with a small variety of options. My only negative is this, my room faced the front of the hotel and the street and I could not sleep with the window open at night due to the noise. However, when I closed the window, the soundproofing worked great but it was then warm in the room.
