Excellent

We booked this hotel having read the other reviews. The hotel is in a very convenient location within easy walking distance of both the old town and the Jewish quarter.
Easy to reach by bus from the airport.
The hotel has lovely views of the river, especially from the sky bar and the rooms were clean and had everything you needed.
The staff are however what really makes this hotel, they are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Bartosz is especially friendly and informative. He told us about some of the legends of Krakow and will happily help you book any trips you are interested in.
We have never stayed in such a friendly hotel and will definitely choose this hotel again if and when we return to Krakow.
Wonderful views of the Castle & River from the rooftop Sky Bar. Great experience having Evening Meals and Drinks watching the Sunsets. Rooms Good and Comfortable. Excellent Week in Krakow staying here. I would recommend strongly.
Very nice and helpful staff. The room was sufficient for the two of us. The water in the shower sometimes went a bit wonky, but everything worked and we enjoyed ourselves very much.
Nice place. Be aware of street noise. Comfortable
Restaurant/bar ok
Note highly reviewed pod wawelem restaurant is not here, 2 blocks away
So many excellent restaurants in Krakow
Lovely hotel, staff are brilliant and so helpful. Bart on reception will do anything for a greggs sausage roll or steak bake 😂. He provided recommendations that were all brilliant from food to cocktail bars he certainly knows his stuff. Rooftop terrace staff could do with smiling a little more but thats about it.
Location is perfect just a little walk into the old town (flat no huge hills), overlooking the Vistula river and rooms lovely and clean with lovely sauna (spa under construction).
Rooms were clean, tidy and we had great room with view over the city and the river.
Very hospitable country and worth the trip to anyone that is remotely interested in culture, cocktails, gastronomy or anything at all really.
This hotel was an absolutely amazing place to stay. We spent a little extra for a room with a view and it did not disappoint. We had a view of the river that goes across Kraków as well as the Wawel castle. The area is very quiet overnight, and within walking distance of most of the old town. The staff are very friendly, including one fellow who makes it his business to learn some words to help make their guests feel welcome!
Perfect location, super views of the river and Wawel Castle. The reception staff and Bart in particular couldn't have done more to ensure the stay was perfect with suggestions of places to visit including the slightly more unusual like The Leaky Cauldron cafe! Room was perfectly adequate in size, large opening doors/windows. Just a 20 minute and short walk from the airport on Bus route 300.
We had a lovely bedroom overlooking the lake. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast had lots to choose from.. I would recommend the hotel to anyone wanting a great hotel at an excellent price.
