I was very impressed with the hotel. The rooms were large, clean, and well-maintained in a separate building close to the old town Krakow, just a 10-minute walk away. The staff was incredibly polite, all speaking fantastic English and very helpful. The breakfast offered plenty of choices but could use some room for improvement.

The rooms were located in a separate building, clean, and very well impressed. However, they were considered basic with only one towel in the bathroom and a small duvet on the bed. Requesting a downstairs room was accommodated for those not good with stairs.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was excellent, just a short walk from the main square and close to the old town. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff willing to go the extra mile. However, the rooms in the separate annex were smaller than expected and could use better lighting. The dining options were decent but not exceptional.

The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms that are kept clean, with lots of breakfast choices. The service is a mixed bag, ranging from indifferent to very helpful. The location is convenient, just across the road from the old town but slightly tucked away. The dining experience varies from rich and well-assorted to quite ordinary. The facilities are well-maintained with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was overall enjoyable. The rooms, although a bit small, were clean, tidy, and up to date. The service was not as helpful as I had hoped, with some impatience shown. The location was excellent, just a short walk to the center and with accommodating staff. The dining experience was good but could improve in terms of breakfast options. Facilities were adequate for a pleasant stay.

The hotel was lovely and clean, and very warm, perfect for this time of year. The continental breakfast had plenty to choose from. However, the rooms seemed a bit outdated, the small electrical heater didn't provide much warmth, and some elements looked tired, probably due to older photos. The service was friendly and helpful overall, but there were some restrictions with tea bags being rationed. The location was excellent, just a short walk from the main square in Krakow, offering convenience for exploring the city. The dining experience had a good selection but fell short with some hot food running out quickly. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel is centrally located and offers decent value for money.

The hotel offers a spacious room not attached to the main building, which was clean and comfortable, with excellent amenities like a double bed and a powerful, hot shower. However, the access to the room could be improved for better convenience, especially for older guests. The location is great for exploring Krakow, near the old town and with easy access to bars and restaurants; although some noise disturbances were noted. Dining was good but could have been better. Overall, a mixed experience with some positive and negative aspects to consider.

Staying at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with a good breakfast, although some amenities were basic. The service was fantastic, especially with the arrangement for our visit to Auschwitz. The location was excellent, just a few minutes' walk from the main square and close to convenient parking. However, the dining experience left much to be desired. On the bright side, the friendly and cooperative staff made the stay enjoyable.

The hotel's rooms were pretty big with a desk and a couch, and the breakfast offered good variety though not luxurious. The minibar/fridge was not in the room provided, and we faced some noise from the street even with the windows closed. The service was excellent and very helpful, with a minor issue of a cracked teacup being handled promptly. The location was great, close to the train station and within walking distance of main attractions but slightly marred by unfriendly staff interactions. The dining was okay with a limited selection, leaning towards a continental style. Overall, a comfortable stay in a superb location for exploring Krakow.

The hotel location is great, close to downtown Krakow and the town square, providing easy access to attractions. The rooms were a bit tight with a double bed but generally comfortable, despite some noise disturbances from neighboring guests in the morning. The service was excellent overall, with friendly and helpful staff, though there was an incident with a late-night noise complaint. The dining experience was satisfactory, offering a continental breakfast with varied options. The facilities were decent, meeting basic needs. Overall, a good value for the price paid.
