We stayed at this property for six nights and had a wonder stay. The location of the hotel is perfectly situated - adjacent to the old town square with tons of dining, shopping and sightseeing all within a few steps of the hotel doors. The rooms were quite spacious, very clean and comfortable.

Fantastic hotel with a beautiful interior and spacious rooms. The SPA facilities are charming and atmospheric, making for a truly relaxing experience. The massage was incredible — a big thank you to the gentleman with the magic touch! All the staff were exceptionally polite and helpful. And the baked-in-house cake my husband ordered for my birthday was absolutely delicious.

Absolutely top notch hotel. Better than any other similar rated establishment. The interior is stunning and you get a true sense of this being a restored historical place. The wellness centre in the basement is amazing. The staff was amazing - courteous, friendly. The only things I would have preferred was tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms and extr pillows available, but Im sure I could have asked for that. Restaurant is expensive. Will most certainly go there again on my next stay at Krakow

Exceptional

Beautiful, understated hotel. High design, quality and exceptional attention to detail. The ONLY thing we noticed was the lack of sound insulation. You can hear conversations and bathrooms next door very clearly so just bring some earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Everything else about the property (spa, interior design and location, to name a few) make up for this one tiny detail. We’ve already recommended the hotel to a friend and we already have plans to return.

Convenient location in the old town

The hotel is in excellent location. The staff is friendly and accommodating. There are few points that need improvement. First, we found the room being too dark. No coffee/tea maker in the room. Also, no convenient outlets for charging phones. When we asked, they brought us an extension. It did not feel like a 5-star hotel.

This property is located increadibly close to the Christmas market and beautifully located near many attractions in Krakow. The hotel restaurant is delicious and the bar makes great drinks. The only negative is that the walls are a bit thin and the noice from the hallway can be heard very easily from the room.
