      Stunning Stay in the Heart of the Old Town

      With a location just 67 steps from the bustling central market square, this aesthetic gem boasts unique architecture and spacious rooms. The spa is a delightful retreat, and the exemplary staff truly enhance the experience. Breakfast options are plentiful, but noise can occasionally disrupt the tranquility. A mix of luxury and charm makes it unforgettable.

      rooftop bar
      spa area
      dog-friendly stay
      pool activities

      Loved the rooftop bar with stunning views and delicious drinks. The spa area was a nice retreat for the family after exploring. Plus, it was great having our non-service dog with us during our stay in this centrally located hotel.

      My kids wished the pool area had more family-friendly activities.

      stylish design
      clean room
      comfortable layout
      pillow comfort
      lacking tea facilities

      I stayed in a double room for 6 nights. The room was pretty stylish, with unique designs and good layout. It felt clean and really comfortable overall. I loved the big bathroom, even though it only had a shower. The heating was nice too! But the pillows could be better, and I’d have liked tea-making facilities in the room. The lighting was a bit complicated to figure out in bed. Still, the vibe was cozy and inviting.

      excellent amenities

      can recommend for a short break

      Comfortable room, excellent amenities, with a well-prepared breakfast featuring fresh, made-to-order options and a convenient location just a 20-minute walk from the main attractions.

      Couldn’t have been happier.

      Comfortable Stay with Great Location

      We enjoyed a pleasant stay with the convenience of two indoor pools available at any time. The location made everything within walking distance, perfect for exploring Krakow. Pro tip, consider dining at nearby restaurants as breakfast at the hotel was underwhelming compared to local options!

      great location
      friendly staff

      Perfect for a couple's getaway

      The location was just off the main square, making it super convenient for everything we wanted to do. The staff, especially at the reception, were great and genuinely seemed to care about our experience, always asking if we needed anything

      It wasn’t overly expensive but still on the pricier side for our budget.

      would definitely return

      The room was nicely designed with hardwood floors, air conditioning, and a minibar. The bathroom had a rain shower and high-end toiletries. Spa facilities included an indoor swimming pool, sauna, and steam room, perfect for relaxing. Breakfast was top-notch with locally sourced options and made-to-order eggs.

      fantastic location
      unique architecture
      friendly staff
      light issue
      noisy room

      The location is fantastic, just steps away from the central market square, making it convenient for exploring Krakow. The hotel has unique architecture with exposed stone, concrete, and glass that adds to its charm. My room was spacious and had heated floors in the bathroom, which I loved. The staff were really friendly and efficient. However, I did have an issue with a light in the room that wouldn't turn off, and the replacement room was noisy, so I didn’t get much sleep. The breakfast buffet stood out, with a large variety and high quality. Although the food was good, a bit more attention to room maintenance would elevate the experience significantly.

      noise level
      inconvenient passage

      The hotel offers a prime location and stunning architecture, making it an enjoyable stay overall, though room selection is crucial. I encountered noise from nearby establishments at night. The staff were accommodating, but having no dedicated passage to the spa was a bit inconvenient.
