The apartments were exactly like the photos, large airy warm, well equipped washer, dishwasher hairdryer tv, Netflix (own account) WiFi, really comfy close to the city, less than a 10 minute walk. Definitely 5 star and definitely worth the money

If you are visiting Kraków and want a hotel that truly feels exceptional, Hotel Stary delivers on every level. From the moment you enter, the design sets the tone. The interiors blend historic stone, glass, and contemporary furnishings with effortless sophistication. Every detail feels intentional, and the rooms are wonderfully comfortable. The linens alone deserve mention—soft, luxurious, and the kind that make slipping into bed feel like a reward after a long day exploring the city. What truly sets Hotel Stary apart, however, is the remarkable spa and gym hidden in the historic stone cellars beneath the hotel. The pool is spectacular, framed by vaulted brick ceilings and atmospheric lighting. A lap current allows you to swim continuously, while fountains add a calming element to the water. The wellness area also includes a salt cave, dry sauna, wet steam sauna, and a beautifully equipped gym—all designed within the dramatic medieval architecture of the building. It’s rare for a city hotel to combine this level of design, comfort, and spa experience so seamlessly. Hotel Stary manages it effortlessly, creating a stay that feels both luxurious and deeply relaxing. A truly memorable place to stay in Kraków.

This our 2nd time at this hotel and it did not disappoint. The rooms are beautiful and very comfortable. The staff are polite and helpful and breakfast was great with a good selection for all the family.
