My stay at the hotel was a mix of pros and cons. The rooms, while offering a beautiful view of the park and the Wawel Castle, were small and basic, and the noise from trams outside was quite disruptive. The service was friendly and courteous, but some staff members were not overly friendly. The location was the best part, being close to the main square and Wawel Castle, although the facade was under renovation. The dining experience was good with a variety of food, but not as exceptional as before. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient with easy access to the main attractions, but the noise from the trams made it hard to sleep. The service was friendly and helpful, and the dining options were good, although some dietary preferences were not catered for. The rooms, while a bit old, led to a walking path that was inconvenient.

The hotel is conveniently located, just a 10-minute walk from the Jewish quarter and Jewish restaurants. The rooms are modern, clean, and of a decent size, but unfortunately, there was an awful smell present. The service was a bit mixed, with one staff member not very welcoming, but the others were great, offering room service, package/parcel services, laundry, and valet parking. The location is absolutely perfect, very close to all 'must-see' places in Krakow, including the Wawel Castle, Old Town, and Kazimierz. The dining experience was of a very high standard with self-service options, but cold dishes were a downside. Overall, a mixed experience with some notable positives and negatives.

The hotel was ideally located just across from Wawel Castle and a short walk to the Market Square, making it easy to explore Kraków. The rooms, although reasonably comfortable, were of an unacceptable standard with excessive dust. The service was impressive, with a very helpful and polite staff, except for one instance where assistance seemed lacking. The dining options were okay but lacked flavor, yet the hotel's convenient location allowed easy access to nearby cafes for a variety of choices. Overall, a mixed experience with highlights and drawbacks.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms had two 4' beds which was great, but they did seem pretty low. The noise of trams and cars from the busy road was a downside. The service was warm and friendly, and the staff was accommodating when I needed to leave early before breakfast. The location was the highlight, being close to the Market Square, Wawel Castle, and other attractions. The dining offered a variety of continental and cooked dishes, but not everything was included in the price. Overall, the hotel provided good value for money with a few drawbacks.

The hotel is centrally located in Krakow, making it ideal for exploring the city's scenic attractions. The rooms, although spacious and nicely renovated, can feel stuffy due to the large bathroom lacking heating. The service was top-notch, with staff going out of their way to assist guests.
