Good option in Krakow

I had a great stay at this property. The room was clean and in good condition. It was located in front of a tram station. And the service was impeccable. Anne, at the reception desk, went above and beyond my expectation to help provide me with some breakfast food to go due to a very early morning tour, and to help me to repair a damaged suitcase. I definitely recommend this property.

Was unsure to book due to mixed reviews however due to price and location decided to go for it. So glad we did, great hotel. Quite, nicely decorated rooms and excellent location. Good choice of breakfast options and would recommend. If there is one negative I’d say it would have been nice to have a kettle but honestly, that’s it.

Lovely hotel although, no kettle or drink making facilities . I chose this because it said it had a coffee shop and bar, We are of an age where after a day of walking and sightseeing we just want to relax with a drink before bed. We did not find either or were told by hotel staff of such facilities. Slightly disappointed with this. We also asked to change room after first night because the trams pass by every 5-10 mins from 4.30/5am till 11pm and are so noisy. Luckily they accommodated us.
