I had a great stay at the Columbus, a gem of a hotel cloae tonthe Jewish Quarter with some well priced restaurants around. I loved my room, clean, comfortable and quiet with a nice little balcony facing the rear of the building and the air conditioning was very welcome in the hot weather. There was an excellent breakfast available every morning with plenty of options. One of the receptionists also very kindly helped me outvwith planning a day trip to Wroclaw. Thus is my thrid teip to Krakow and this has been the best hotel I have stayed in and i hope to return here next time around.

Excellent location for the Old Town (10min walk) Jewish Quarter (1min walk), trams on the doorstep and river 5 mins away. Stay on the upper floors if you can as noise from street (cars/trams) could be a nuisance. When the windows are closed you can hardly hear a thing and the air conditioning takes care of the heat issue. Simple but efficient breakfast was welcome in the morning. No bar to speak of but drinks available to be consumed in the outside area. Overall a relatively cheap, clean, well located hotel. Would definitely recommend.

The hotel was very well placed for the Jewish quarter with plenty of dining options close by. Old town was just a 20 minute walk. Being on a busy street means keeping the windows shut because of tram noise and also restricts taxi pick ups. My only complaint about the hotel was a "sweaty" sleep, due I suspect to a plastic mattress cover.

Positives: Large clean room, comfy, large king-size bed, nice amenities, good amount of storage space, good shower, daily complimentary bottles of sparking and still water. Complimentary buffet breakfast with hot and cold items. Negatives: poor tasting filtered coffee at breakfast, no tea/coffee room amenities or kettle. LOCATION: Right in front of a tram stop, 2 stops away from the Old town, and around a 15 minute walk. OK, but could be better as a bit out of the way to walk into town. Also, avoid front-facing rooms as the tram noise will keep you up at night. Staff: overall OK, some reception staff better than others. I found that they lacked the warmth of reception staff at the other hotel I stayed in Krakow (also 3* of similar price). Would I stay again? Possibly, though would prefer a hotel with closer walking proximity to the centre.

Lovely Hotel
Hotel Columbus is a beautiful hotel. It is in a central location of Krakow with access to public transport, restaurants, shopping and tourist attractions. The rooms are well appointed , comfortable and clean. My only criticism is of the two gentlemen who maintained the reception desk during my stay. They seemed better suited to be working the intake of a prison rather than your lovely hotel. They were dour and not particularly friendly. Overall I was very pleased with my experience and intend to book my accommodation at Hotel Columbus on my next visit to Krakow…
