Great hotel and location

The hotel is great location overlooking river. Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean and tidy. We had welcome drink on rooftop bar which has great views. Around 20-25 minutes walk to centre square. Boat trips on river 3 minutes walk. Will definitely stop here again when we return to Krakow.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Hotel could hardly be closer to Wawelm Castle ( a major tourist attraction in Krakow) but is still quiet & cosy. This also means it’s on the edge of the old town, where most of the attractions are- easy walking to everywhere. The room was basic but had all the essentials - en suite, shower, Tea & Coffee facilities (although you’ll need to get your own milk) Continental Breakfast is included and is extensive - all you could want, especially the scrambled eggs. The best feature though is the SkyBar- on the 6th floor with great views of the castle and river and a decent menu of snacks and meals. The only glitch was that signal was very patchy on the only English Language TV Station I could find - but that’s hardly essential.
