The room was very clean, very nice, quiet, smaller Hotel near the Wisla river. Very private hotel located in town. Staff was very cordial and accommodating. Majority of Poles in Krakow speak English, a very warm and inviting smaller hotel. 5 Star Breakfast ! This hotel is divided between two buildings. An excellent value ! No elevator, limited parking. Walking to Old Town Center is 30 min, but you will have the best views of the river and Wawel castle. This is in town - so it is away from the tourist areas- a small open market next door for flowers and vegetables. There is a nice park along the river if you want to get away from the crowds. The staff at Pana Cogito were the best !

We were very pleased.

The staff and the facilities were exceptional. Everyone was so very friendly and helpful; they made our stay enjoyable. The breakfast was very good also. The location is convenient to downtown Krakow. A friend recommended U Pana Cogito, and it was every bit as fine as she said. We highly recommend this pension to anyone.

Great place to stay

We loved the privacy of our own separate outside entrance and no neighbors. The stairs up and down were a small challenge. The food was good and the waitresses very helpful and good at their jobs. Two bummers were that we could only get wifi if we sat in the reception area...and the bathtub was about 4 ft. long by maybe 16 inches wide. There was no high hook to hang the handheld shower on and the connecting bit wouldn't have been long enough anyway, so I took an unsatisfactory bath with the handheld shower to rinse off with. The location is great and we enjoyed leaving our parked car and walking to places of interest. There were shops close by to buy what we needed.

nice place to stay in Krakow

The Hotel is a nice place to stay in Krakow, quite close to the center, clean, the breakfast buffet was tasty and quite various. We got instead of the double room a room with 5 beds which seems at the first impression weird, as there was no explanation from the service for this change. Service was ok. Be aware, there are two buildings of the hotel, the picture shows the building with the reception desk and restaurant (maybe few rooms as well), while some of the rooms are in the next building. Parking nice, right to the hotel.

This hotel is located in a quiet residental area. Some shops around the hotel, so no warry for food; some small restaurnts, bakeries, a hamburger shop, ice creamshops, small shops for drinks and snacks and daily things. Also there is a market you can buy fresh fruits. Bus stop and trum stop are nearby. Wawel castle is in 20 mns walk.

The hotel is conveniently located by walking distance to old town about 20-25 minutes by walk and only 15 min to Wawel castle. The room is clean and staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is quiet, yet the neighborhood is not perfect. On the way walking to #179 or #304 bus station, it needs go under a turned which is dirty. They charge only 38 pln for breakfast, but I would rather pay 55 pln for a delicious one like I had in Warsaw. It is very simple breakfast, but coffee machine is awesome. The room is simple and not large. Overall I like the hotel for: 1. Location. 2. Price. 3. Friendly staff The hotel is more like bed and breakfast in US. It is like family owned. It has a beautiful backyard next to restaurant.

Όλα άψογα!

Η συνολική εμπειρία ήταν θετική. Το δωμάτιο μας άρεσε πάρα πολύ. Ήταν άνετο, καθαρό και πολύ ζεστό. Μείναμε πολύ ικανοποιημένοι και με την εξυπηρέτηση. Είναι κοντά στο κέντρο της πόλης σε μια πολύ καλή περιοχή. Κοντά έχει φαρμακείο, μίνι μάρκετ, φούρνο. Το συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα. Θα το ξαναπροτιμήσω σε επόμενο ταξίδι μου στην Κρακοβία.
