nice hotel
Posted: Fri, Oct 26 2007
Had a 3 day break at this hotel,ideally situated in between the Jewish Quarter & the centre of Krakow. Its about a 15 minute walk to the town centre which is a straight road so it quite hard to get lost. Breakfast was the continental style which i suppose is not everyones cup of tea but it was enough to get you though to lunchtime. The rooms are quite large with good central heating. There isonly one tv British channel which is a bit of a bore so take a book. The front of the hotel could do with a paint job but all in all a good hotel.

Great Hotel

Going again in November, Book with alpharooms.com found them the cheapest. Drink the local beer its great about £ 1.20 a pint same price in all the bars we went to, pay an extra £ 0.20p and get the strong stuff 7%

Magnífico hotel pequeño

Magnífico hotel pequeño directamente en el centro de Kazimierz pero a solo 15 minutos a pie del centro de Cracovia y los principales lugares de interés turísticos. Muy buena relación calidad-precio. Las habitaciones eran completamente nuevas y limpias. Muy buenas habitaciones para el precio. El desayuno está en su hotel gemelo pero está a solo 5 minutos y está de camino hacia el centro de la ciudad. El desayuno es bueno. Por el precio, no creo que encuentres algo mejor.

Tram & train noise!

The hotel itself is in a good location, only 2 minutes from the Jewish quarter where there are good restaurants and bars and only a 10-15 minute walk, or tram journey to the old town. The hotel room that we had was clean and fairly big with loads of storage space. The bathroom was modern and had a good shower. Breakfasts were fairly basic, continental style, with bread, meat and cheeses. The downside was that there was no air conditioning which meant that we had to sleep with the window open, which meant that it was very noisy. The hotel is on a main road which serves as a busy tram route and directly behind the hotel there is a busy train line. Added to this, behind the hotel there are apartments which are occupied by local residents. Obviously these people are not on holiday and therefore have their own normal lives to lead. One morning we were woken up by a lady washing and brushing the courtyard area at 6.30 am and another morning at 7 am with someone drilling. If you are a light sleeper, then without some seriously good ear plugs this is not the hotel for you! The girls on reception were generally quite helpful and spoke good English. They have facilities to leave your luggage which was useful as we had a later flight. The hotel also arranged for taxi transfers to and from the airport for us. The cost of which was reasonable, 60 zlotys during the week and 70 zlotys at the weekend. I did think that the hotel was reasonable value for money, but would probably not stay at this hotel again due to the noise. I would however stay in the Jewish Quarter again. I think you get a good taste of everyday life in Krakow staying here with the advantage of only being a short walk from the city centre. Krakow is a beautiful city and I would recommend anyone to go there. I felt very safe the whole time that we were there. We went on day trips to both the salt mines and Auschwitz/Birkenhau. If you go to the salt mines, I would suggest that you buy your ticket from the tourist office before you go (63 zlotys) to avoid horrendously long queues when you get there. Our tour guide said that sometimes in the summer you have to queue for an hour and a half. There is a local bus (5 zlotys return) which leaves from the corner of Starowisina and Westerplatte. The Wawel area of the city is beautiful and also well worth a visit.

Clean and spacious

I stayed 5 nights in a double room with my boyfriend. We didn't know what was the check-in time so we went straight to the hotel and were told that we should come back at 2 o'clock. We were able to leave our luggage at the reception, so we went to get lunch and came back later for the check-in. The room and bathroom were spacious and very clean. Our room faced the street and the noise was obvious, especially by the trams. It didn't bother us during the day, but in the mornings it was a bit disturbing. If you are a light sleeper, you should bring ear plugs. Breakfast was on -1 floor and there was plenty to choose from. The safe is at the reception and it was free of charge. Our room didn't have air conditioning, but some rooms have ac, so I guess you have to separately ask for it. Towels and bed linens were a bit worn out, but they were clean and undamaged. There are very nice restaurants near and we liked staying in that neighborhood. We thought it would be closer to the railway station, so we walked from the station to the hotel and realized it was a bit further away. Our stay went very well and despite the trams, we enjoyed staying here. Girls at the reception were helpful and friendly and spoke good English.
