Highly recommended staying here when visiting Krakow. Located next to the castle and river, but not amongst the touristy and busy areas. Quiet, safe and just out of the way of the main old town. Skybar provides amazing views and you get a complimentary glass of prosseco that you claim and enjoy in the skybar - a nice touch. Hotel itself is welcoming, modern and clean. Rooms are spacious and airy with everything you need. Breakfast is included and is a brilliant buffet with a large variety of polish cold foods, patisserie, cereals, yogurts breads and a small selection of hot food. Only a small fruit selection, but salad is also available. Coffee and tea also provided. Really great place, especially for the price.

Staff fantastic, very helpful and friendly. We were in room 111 which was right beside the lift so it quite noisy at times. We were in a double room but it is actually two single beds side by side and two single quilts. The beds were also a bit lumpy. Overall a good stay but beds need updated.

The hotel is in a lovely, convenient spot, only around 8 mins walk to the old town and is next to the river. Wawel Castle was right beside the hotel, which was so lovely light up at night and which could be viewed from the Sky Bar terrace. Some boats are restaurants and are covered in lights, which again looked lovely. I was given a warm welcome as soon as I arrived. The room was comfortable and quiet and all the staff were generally very helpful. The sachets of coffee were a little hit and miss in the room, which ranged from 0-2 sachets. Not a major problem as I could have asked for some. I was going to miss breakfast on one occasion and the hotel kindly made me a lovely packed lunch to take with me. I would like to have had more variety for breakfast, but there was choice and plenty of it. I would certain recommend this hotel for it's warm welcome and it's quiet convenient location

Great location, and super helpful staff

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.

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.
