Hi-tech room in modern hotel. Staff fantastic. No tea/coffee in room but downstairs free full ‘bar’ of tea/coffee/water. It gets a lot of use and breaks down. But fixed quickly. Location 20 min walk to old town. However the area is so historic worth it.

Was difficult to gain entry to the hotel for check in as there was no buzzer. Reception staff were great, let us check in early ! Pipes in the room were very noisy though. Nice room all in all, big and great amenities.

Kraków is a beautiful place with many things to see, all within walking distance for those who can handle walking for a few hours to sightsee the city. If not, there are many tours available by foot, vehicle, and bike. Enjoy!

Krakow is a beautiful city and the people are extremely friendly. The dollar goes a long way here. You can have an amazing dinner that would cost $200+ in the USA but only costs $75 in Krakow.
