“Excellent budget hotel.”

Receptionists at the hotel went out of their way to be helpful. Their recommendations for restaurants were superb. Room was small and simple, but very clean with comfortable beds, tea-making equipment and clean, new bathroom. Breakfast buffet had hot food, cereals, meats, fruit, yoghurts - everything you could want, simply presented. Good position near castle. Short walk to town centre. Very good value for money.

“Location Location!!!”

Wonderful location right on the river with fantastic views of river & castle. For the price we paid can not fault this 3 star hotel. Room small but very well appointed with tea/coffee making facility, room safe, hairdryer, small fridge, air-con, quiet & shower with good water pressure. Staff very helpfull. Breakfast was included in room rate & quite adequate.

“we had a good experience”

We had a superior room on floor three, with a good view of the river. The room was more than adequate only complaint would be that the air con turned off at night and as the weather was good the room was a little hot at night. With the windows open there was alot of traffic noise until 2ish and from 6ish in the morning. Good roof terrace lovely position for castle, main square and jewish quarter. We liked this hotel.

“excellent position in Krakow”

The Pod Wewelem is an excellent modern mid sized hotel in great position , very near the castle hill and also the river. Very comfortable rooms with excellent beds. The rooftop bar/cafe is also very nice, but the view not quite as good as expected. Breakfasts plentiful and good quality and range of buffet foods. Hotel staff friendly and most could understand English well. My only real criticism would have to be the showers. Low water pressure and hard to regulate with sudden changes from hot or warm to cold. This could be very frustrating. Overall though very well positioned hotel close to all the sites and very good value. Would definitely go back.

“very good hotel”

We stayed here for 4 nights mid june 2011. Comfortable room, clean, very good breakfast, nice roof top restaurant, staff polite and helpful. Good central location. Would recommend this hotel.

“Andy from New York City”

Great location, friendly and help full staff.

“Good location - good price - good value”

Newer good, clean, quiet accommodations on the edge of Old Town. We've been there twice and would stay there again. Our guests from Canada were very satisfied. The only problem is the hotel has no parking but there is expensive secure underground parking across the street.

“great location - great service”

This was a great hotel, small but perfectly formed! They replied promptly to email queries and were very helpful when questioned. They arranged a taxi to pick us up from the airport (80 PLN £20) and kept bags until check-in time. Rooms are fine - no luxuries but the usual nescafe sachets and dried milk! The roof terrace is great, fantastic views and reasonable prices - great to wind down whilst watching the world go by below. I highly recommend a tour in a 'golf cart' to the Jewish district and Schindler's factory - about £50 but great to really get a feel for the city. Auschwitz is a must - book throught the hotel with Krakow Tours and you'll get a great deal - £30 per adult which includes return coach, entrance to both camps and the services of a guide - fantastic value. The castle and cathedral were disappointing - not enough information to really grasp the history. A wander through the market square in the evening will give you a chance to sample local food and crafts. Lots of restaurants to choose from catering for all food tastes. Not much vegetarian food available but I managed! All in all, a great break in a modern, clean and comfortable hotel.

“Great staff, fab location”

My stay here was my first solo trip abroad, but the staff were so friendly and helpful that I didn't ever feel isolated in the city. They all spoke good English and didn't laugh at my doubtless awful attempts at Polish, and booked my transfers and a trip out to Auschwitz at a good price. Bonus points go to Sylwia for helping me to find the mummies! The hotel itself is clean and comfortable with a generous breakfast buffet and a good restaurant if you don't fancy heading out for the night. The plumbing made a few funny noises but there was a knack to it. It's location is perfect, right by the castle and the river and conveniently between Old Town and Kazimierz. Not fancy, but good for the price and very welcoming.
