I loved this property and my room so much. I arrived very late (around 2am), and the reception team were so lovely. The room was gorgeous and well cleaned. Beware that some nights there is an outdoor cinema (I believe it was Friday and Saturday night) however this does end before the silent time begins.

Reserved for 1 night but needed to add a second night, there was NO availability but the hotel refused to refund me the 1 night to go somewhere else, although I had paid $16 for “travel insurance”, so I managed to find a second night but we were forced to check out at 11 with all of our luggage and come back at 3 to check in AGAIN. VERY INCONVENIENT! The hotel is nice. No toiletries 😳 and its location is NOT pretty. It feels secluded. Yes, you can walk 10 to 15 minutes anywhere but we wasted a lot of time of our 2 days in Krakow doing all of that. I would stay closer to the old Town, but the city is AMAZING!
