Hotel was beautiful and spotless, room was far bigger than expected and had everything we could need. Spa was lovely and peaceful, we were the only guests in there when we visited.
All staff were friendly and really helpful. Would definitely recommend.
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.
Elegant hotel right in the heart of Old Town Krakow. Room was very nice and perfect for a couple. Be sure to check out the rooftop bar for a great view of the surroundings
Nice place to stay near the Main Square. The staff was very friendly, polite, and professional. The room was spacious and clean. I would stay there again.
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.
