We had a very nice stay at this hotel. The staff at reception were really helpful and made us very welcome (we especially loved Bartosz). Comfortable room and clean. There is a nice rooftop bar\restaurant which has lovely views of the castle and river. The breakfast buffet selection was a bit small but very well maintained by the staff. Hotel is well located - close to the castle and about 10 minute walk to the main square. Would stay again on next visit.

The rooftop bar and restaurant are the draw for this hotel, and it is truly spectacular. Overlooking the Vistula River and the castle. Staff seem to be run off their feet a bit, so perhaps they need to be treated a bit better. Food is excellent too. Check in area was a little busy downstairs at the hotel, with several people seeming to hang around inside and out. Cleaners are excellent and very friendly. Superb location near the old city and castle area. Easy transportation also on the Line 1 train / tram to the airport.
