Best hotel in Krakow

Excellent - Best hotel we've been to. The pool is supper cool and spa facilities were great. The only thing that could make it better would be a slightly firmer bed and pillows.
Georgina, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Ideas from an Americao

The chair and bed are low. Could have some type of creamer. While I appreciate the nespresso instant coffee would be good. Put Electrical outlets by bed and existing ones higher along the wall.
karen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Amazing place, facilities and location are excellent, food is good also. The only issue we had was noise, the bells of the church going every hour and then a bit of music afterwards and also just noise from inside the hotel could hear people talking loudly early in the morning.

Beautiful hotel, amazing locaton

What a beautiful hotel. We stayed on the 5th floor. Location is right off the main square. Pool was wonderful after a day sightseeing. Only down side was WiFi was very poor in the part of the hotel we were in. Not sure if it’s better elsewhere in the newer bit of the. Hotel.

Monica, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything perfect but...

Great hotel, great SPA, the best experience so far. Everything was perfect, also the proximity with the center, 1 minutes walking. Just one inconvenient: during breakfast, the menu was never proposed to me and that's because I noticed the table close to me ordered some meals, not from the buffet that I guessed it was possible.

Nice hotel in old town

Nice hotel in old town. The hotel staff is very helpful and does everything that we asked for. But for a five stars hotel there are small things that are annoying, like the lack of a coffee machine or a kettle for making tea.
