    Best location, you can walk to everything in Old Town Kraków. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. We had two rooms on the third floor -the only thing was that these rooms didn’t have large windows to look out. The windows were just small and near the floor more for air flow. There were also skylights in the ceiling for light. If you face towards the square & have your windows open, it is very loud because of the traffic and the people leaving pubs at night. But then again, it’s near the square so it will be that way... Good breakfast every day!…

    Excellent hotel just round the corner from the old town square. Staff more than happy to help arrange excursions and recommend places to eat. Rooms spacious and clean. Breakfast lots to choose mainly continental but egg dishes and pancakes to order. Omlettes were great. Only downside no bar for a drink in the evening but nice cocktail bar across the road. Would definitely return…
