Stayed here for 3 nights in late November. As a solo traveller here to see the sights I only had a basic single room with no view, but it was very comfortable, clean, and had everything I needed.
All the staff spoke very good English, which saved both them and me from my basic Polish. Check-in was welcoming and efficient.
The sky-bar has superb views out over the river. I had a couple of meals and drinks there which were all very good and reasonably priced. The welcome drink was also a nice touch.
Breakfast is a buffet style, with plenty of choices of both hot and cold food, and was always well stocked and good quality.
The location was excellent, enjoying the view of the river and castle, but also being just a short walk into the old town area, and I felt perfectly safe walking alone late at night to and from.
If I visit Kraków again, this is where I want to stay.

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.

Our fourth stay at this hotel and it was excellent as always. Daily housekeeping, friendly and helpful staff (especially Bart on reception) and a really good choice at breakfast and on the evening menu. The hotel is ideally located for shopping and sightseeing and we will definitely be back next December.

Travelled as a group of 20 from start to finish friendly professional staff throughout the hotel, looked after us, special mention to Bart on reception who made made us all feel very welcome and even left a note with ideas and tips for the whole group to try.
He was off the weekend and still took the time to do this showing, his professional to his job.

The hotel is ideally located next to the river and castle but within easy walking distance of the main square. Rooms are simple but clean. Staff are pleasant and the roof top bar and restaurant is an ideal place to watch the world go by with a Zywiec or Wisniowka!!
