Everything here was great except for the very, very hard bed. We like a firm mattress so our tolerance is high but this was like a brick (room 108). Otherwise though, we were so pleased with the location, the room, housekeeping, staff, etc. recommended!

We absolutely loved staying at the Balthazar. The location is perfect to explore the city, the room was just beautifully appointed and the staff are so incredibly helpful. We ate at the restaurant and it was just superb. Massive plus all round. Particularly impressive is the traditional breakfast. I normally find hotel breakfast terribly expensive and underwhelming. This was not just well worth the money, but surpassed all expectations. The staff were simply exceptional, just like the hotel. We will be back. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

Had a fantastic break over New Years Eve. Spent 4 nights there and enjoyed every second- from arrival to departure. Stayed in a Deluxe double and the room was a perfect size, not huge but very nice and comfortable with everything you could want. Breakfast was SPLENDID! Put an hour aside as it’s not your normal eat and run, it’s an experience in itself and the choices are top notch. We only had dinner once and that was in the room - again amazing quality and very reasonable for a 5star hotel. I had steak and my wife had a delicious chicken dish. We will definitely be back It’s situated exactly where you need to be and, as mentioned, very good quality for a very good price.

This place was amazing! I was so excited to stay here and we weren't disappointed. I traveled with my teen and younger child. We had a 2 bedroom suite and it was so beautiful. Heated bathroom floors, fireplace, dining table, bathroom hygine amenities. Everything was perfect. Location was amazing! Make a right out the door and there is Wawel castle, make a left and walk a little way down the main street and you'll reach the rynek. Breakfast was included daily with our room and it was great! If we ever come back to Kraków we will definitely stay here again.
