Hotel is just around the corner from the main square. Room was clean, a bit dated. Wooden floors can be a bit noisy.
Tea and coffee in room. Would stay here again.

I had an amazing stay here. The people were very friendly and accomodating, they really made you feel welcome and were the highlight of the stay.
The room was everything you need as well as being very large and clean. To top it of the location was superb.
I'd definitely recommend staying here.

Superb charming little hotel. Nicely tucked away from the hubbub of Old Town but with easy access to all the glorious sights and eateries and culture you will want to enjoy in beautiful Krakow. My one little peeve was the noisy inconsiderate guest upstairs. The floor boards do creak but some would say that’s part of its charm. Very friendly and welcoming staff.

Great location
Great location just off the main square of the old town of Krakow. Big double room with private facilities, the decor was dated but that didn't matter to us.Tea/coffee making and TV (not that we watched it). Staff very helpful and friendly, Would definitely consider stopping there again if we retuned to Krakow.

Above expectations. Amazing value for money.
Excellent! So comfortable, consistent wifi, great receptionists, fantastic location, quiet and safe yet incredibly central to the old town and transport links. Kettle with coffee and tea. Would go back in a heartbeat and not change a thing.

Fantastic location right in the old town. Loads of bars and restaurants but not noisy as rooms in a rear courtyard. Comfy bed and good size shower. Hot water all day. Nice and warm (Feb stay so cold at night outside but heating good.) Room cleaned on request, but this is good if you don’t want to be disturbed after a late night!

Good location
Great location, near the main square and a short walk from the railway station.
Lovely old school rustic polish decor.
Friendly service.
Only downside was the creaky floorboards that made a lot of noise when you were wslking around the room. I felt sorry for the guests in the room below.

Brilliant location, very close to the main square and not far from the bus/train station.
For me no problem, but it might have been for others: on the weekends, there is a very noisy club in the building or next door. (It wouldn't stop me from staying there again.)
The door to my room did not close very well, so I could hear everything that went on outside on the corridor: old building.
