“Ideal base for a Krakow visit”

We had a three night stay with friends recently whilst doing the usual tourist sightseeing. The hotel is located on the edge of the Jewish district about a comfy 15 minute stroll to the main square. The rooms are clean and well appointed, the staff friendly and helpful, and the continental breakfast adequate with a reasonable choice of food. Nearby is a small square with a choice of restaurants, and plenty of shops/supermarkets are in the locale. We enjoyed our stay here, and have no problem recommending it to other travellers.

“Would definitely stay again”

Brilliant hotel, very clean with lovely staff. It is less than 10 minutes walk away from main square in Krakow so is the perfect base for a city break.

Area recommendations
Main square. Nice restaurants and bars in Jewish district.

“A friendly base.”

We got a warm welcome and help to the room with our bags. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfasts are good. My only word of warning is ensure you get a room at the back. Its very noisy. Trams run in both directions outside, as well as car traffic. The triple rooms are all at the front and even on the top floor we had to buy ear plugs! There is no English TV channel in the rooms, and the towels are thin, but those are two very small points. If you got a room at the back I think this would be a great choice.

Area recommendations
This hotel is perfectly placed for the Jewish area. It is a stones throw from a large choice of good restaurants, and the one we were recommended by staff on the first night was excellent. It turned out to be Michelin starred, but the price did not reflect that! Another night we found one serving only Polish food which was incredibly good and amazingly cheap. One can easily walk to the old synagogue and area, the getto and Schindler museum. It is a brisk 10/15 minute walk to the square, which you can't always face repeating for the evening after a day on your feet.
Getting there
The hotel arranged a taxi and the driver was waiting at arrivals with our name on a board. Its a flat rate, very affordable, and easy.
Getting around
We walked everywhere. Its all surprisingly compact, and feels safe.
What to pack
No need to dress up. Comfortable and warm sees you through everything - we took far too much.

“Great hotel!”

Great hotel, excellent location only 10 mins walk to the centre and right around the corner from the Jewish area and all its funky bars and less touristy restaurants. Wonderful helpful staff, nice rooms, albeit on the small side and with no bath if you want a quiet room off the main street, but all in all a great hotel, totally recommend it!

“Lovely hotel & people”

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Krakow, and this was enhanced by the friendliness & helpfulness of the staff. They sorted out trips, taxis, directions etc. Their English was excellent (far better than my Polish!) and they certainly made me feel welcome. The hotel was clean, bright and the rooms were comfy. Could do with tea making facilities but that's not overly important. There is no bar, but there is a lounge & a garden & we were served beer int he garden. However, a bar might be nice if the weather is bad. Well situated on the edge of the Kazimierz district; about 15 mins walk to Old Town. Extremely good value for money. And the breakfast was excellent - really wide range of choice for all tastes.

Area recommendations
Kazimierz was good - nice area with lots of good restaurants.
When to go
Early September was hot (25C average) with some occasional rain, so it was warm without being stifling. Good time to go as there is a lot of walking required
Must see
Salt mines Auschwitz Old Town/Wawel Castle
Dining
In Kazimierz - restaurant called Galitemeras (I think the spelling is right). Try the forest scented potato soup wity mushrooms, bacon & onion - yummy!!!

“good hotel”

Very good hotel for the price. Rooms spotlessly clean. Well placed for interesting and varied restaurants in the Jewish quarter. Our only problem was that our room which faced onto the street was a little noisy from passing traffic. Otherwise a good choice and we would recommend

Area recommendations
Clearly in the city centre, but the location of the Columbus is not a problem 15 min walk form centre.

“Super staff - great breakfast.”

I would definitely stay here again. The staff were really top-notch - so helpful. The room was great with excellent facilities, well above an hotel of this category. The breakfast was also spot-on.The only down side to this hotel is that is is on a busy road with a lot of traffic and other noise, although I was on the third floor. It is about 15 mintes walk to the centre of the city but there are frequent trams. It is right next to the extremely interesting Kazimierz area (the old Jewish town) with excellent restaurants and bars. There is a self service restaurant within 50 metres where you can get genuine Polish food for about £3 and a Michelin standard place only a little further.

Area recommendations
Kazimierz. Especially the old synagogue - but the whole area is well worth a stroll around and not so saturated with tourists as the centre.
Getting around
Get the tickets for the trams which cost 2.80 zlotys for single trip. (August 2011) You can get them on the tram or from shops . Also use the train for 10 zlotys to and from the airport. The station is right next to the airport and there is a shuttle bus to it from the termianl. Better than paying 80 zlotys each way by taxi.

“Quiet and Pleasant Hotel in Krakow”

When drove up to hotel thought it was not a great neighborhood, but it is in a nice location that is about a 10 minute walk from Old Town and right next to the Jewish Quarter which has some good restaurants and a hopping night time bar/club scene it seems. The street it is on could use some upgrading, but I think as Krakow develops more it will be renovated. Hotel was quiet and room was nice size. Decent breakfast included and staff was mostly friendly. Manager gave great restaurant recommendations. They were having issues with Wi-Fi and I didnt have it in my room, but a traveling companion did have it in his. Hotel arranged excurions to Auschwitz and Salt Mines for us. Was a lot to do in one day. Recommend separating it to 2 days. Wish I had one more day in Krakow. Only had 2.

Area recommendations
Old Town area and Jewish Quarter seem to be the two most happening.
