Great location, and super helpful staff
Stayed here for 3 nights in late November. As a solo traveller here to see the sights I only had a basic single room with no view, but it was very comfortable, clean, and had everything I needed. All the staff spoke very good English, which saved both them and me from my basic Polish. Check-in was welcoming and efficient. The sky-bar has superb views out over the river. I had a couple of meals and drinks there which were all very good and reasonably priced. The welcome drink was also a nice touch. Breakfast is a buffet style, with plenty of choices of both hot and cold food, and was always well stocked and good quality. The location was excellent, enjoying the view of the river and castle, but also being just a short walk into the old town area, and I felt perfectly safe walking alone late at night to and from. If I visit Kraków again, this is where I want to stay.

We booked this hotel having read the other reviews. The hotel is in a very convenient location within easy walking distance of both the old town and the Jewish quarter. Easy to reach by bus from the airport. The hotel has lovely views of the river, especially from the sky bar and the rooms were clean and had everything you needed. The staff are however what really makes this hotel, they are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Bartosz is especially friendly and informative. He told us about some of the legends of Krakow and will happily help you book any trips you are interested in. We have never stayed in such a friendly hotel and will definitely choose this hotel again if and when we return to Krakow.

Krakow - Simply Brilliant
Lovely hotel, staff are brilliant and so helpful. Bart on reception will do anything for a greggs sausage roll or steak bake 😂. He provided recommendations that were all brilliant from food to cocktail bars he certainly knows his stuff. Rooftop terrace staff could do with smiling a little more but thats about it. Location is perfect just a little walk into the old town (flat no huge hills), overlooking the Vistula river and rooms lovely and clean with lovely sauna (spa under construction). Rooms were clean, tidy and we had great room with view over the city and the river. Very hospitable country and worth the trip to anyone that is remotely interested in culture, cocktails, gastronomy or anything at all really.

This hotel was an absolutely amazing place to stay. We spent a little extra for a room with a view and it did not disappoint. We had a view of the river that goes across Kraków as well as the Wawel castle. The area is very quiet overnight, and within walking distance of most of the old town. The staff are very friendly, including one fellow who makes it his business to learn some words to help make their guests feel welcome!
