We spent 3 memorable nights at the Balthazar Design Hotel and enjoyed every minute. Our room was clean, well-appointed, and very quiet. The hotel restaurant was absolutely top-notch, having just received a Michelin star for 2024. Since the hotel is located right in historic Krakow, the majority of the must-see sights are only steps away. Don't miss going to see the fire-breathing dragon along the water! The hotel staff were always available and happy to help in any way possible. We highly recommend this hotel and would happily return if we find ourselves back in Krakow.

Nice, clean hotel with good service. Great location near Wawel Castle and the Jewish Quarter, in the pedestrian area of Old Town but just a few steps from the road where taxis and Ubers can pick you up or drop you off. Breakfast was good, but on the expensive side. Overall a great choice.

Excellent hotel
I loved this hotel. I had a superior king room. The room was very clean and the bed was very confortable. The AC worked like a charm. You could make your riom.an ice box if you wanted to. The bathroom was nice size, but the shower was tiny, which is the only negative thing about the property. The front staff was always friendly and ready to help.

Good location small hotel
Hotel Balthazar is located in a very good location. The hotel is richly designed and beautiful. The 5 star rating of the hotel is however questionable because they lacked alot of 5 star ticks such as no room service after 10pm, 1 lift, no 24 hr porter, etc. The bathroom toiletries were nolton brown which were great. Our room was on the 3rd floor which didnt give us any view outside as the windows are positioned very high. The room was also quite small.

Beautiful hotel in a prime location. Staff very friendly. Very clean. The only thing i would change if i could was someone opening and closing a door multiple times at 6 in the morning. They have super heavy and hence noisy doors. Hardly the hotels fault though. Worth the expense for experience and location.

Our room was lovely but unfortunately was to back of hotel so no view and other ac units running meant we couldn’t sleep with windows open. The hotel is in an excellent position walkable to bars, restaurants and historic buildings. Very clean and comfortable room

Great Hotel
This is a great hotel. The location is great. It's convenient to walk anywhere within the city and you can always find your way back since it's right next to the castle. The hotel itself is creatively decorated with a very fun vibe. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. We didn't have the breakfast, but did have a dinner at the attached restaurant and it was wonderful. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
