AVERAGE AT BEST
27 Apr 2026
Plus pointsGreat Staff,particularly on receptionLocation is as good as you could wish for.However room was just about average whilst being clean there was a certain aroma which we thought could be a drain problem. Bedding duvets and pillows poor ,towels were at best well used and one had holes .Perhaps will teach us that what is considered budget accommodation is not for us.Plus pointsGreat Staff,particularly on receptionLocation is as good as you could wish for.However room was just about average whilst being clean there was a certain aroma which we thought could be a drain problem.

Fairly basic hotel, but great location and great staff

Stayed for three nights on a business trip. Small rooms, and very basic bathroom amenities (they only provide a combination shower gel / shampoo). Beds are quite hard, but comfortable. Breakfast is OK in ground floor restaurant. Also great rooftop bar/restaurant - didn't eat, but great view, nice drinks, and very helpful staff. On the river, next to the castle, on the edge of the old city and a 10… Stayed for three nights on a business trip.

Decent budget hotel!
28 Mar 2026
We stayed at this hotel last weekend. The location is great, just under wawel castle. Everywhere is walkable in Krakow so it doesn’t matter too much which area you stay in. This is a decent budget hotel. It was very clean and we had what we needed. There was liquid soap and shower gel in the bathroom but no other toiletries so be sure to bring your own. There was a hairdryer which I used- it was f… We stayed at this hotel last weekend. The location is great, just under wawel castle.
