Room was not ready when we arrived. We returned an hour later and still not ready. After waiting a further 25 mins our room was ready. Bed lumpy. One night some guests had an all night party, which was very noisey and obviously the hotel was supplying the alcohol - they were still drinking at 6am!! Otherwise it was quiet.

The only drawback for this hotel is that it takes a while to get the bus/tram route that is most convenient worked out. Perhaps the hotel could have a printed sheet with bus tram stops and where each can be boarded in old town.

Dont miss a visit to Auswitz, aklso a trip to the salt mines is a must. Bus fares are very cheap you don't have to take the organised tours.

Location according to description is poor. The distance to the main square/town centre is at least 3km and not 1.5km

A little far out of town but pleasant walk down the riverside. Only complaint was the bed. Rather hard and with a single bottom sheet which rolled up, 1 pillow each but don't know if we could get another and 2 single quilts. The hotel is very warm and cosy.

For the best home made tomato soup and toasted sandwiches in town try Domone Prygsmaki on Slawkowska (top left hand corner of Market Square). Two restaurants we enjoyed were Orient Ekspres (Done out like an old fashioned steam train but food was excellent) on Stolarska and Kuchnia i Wino (in the Jewish Sector) On Josefa. It has a limited Mediterranean menu but the chef owns it. A must have is the little book called 'Krakow in your pocket', ours was given to us at the hotel, it has everything you need to get around, places to eat and general prices in the restaurants and also admission charges to various museums I don't know what we would have done without it.Just outside the hotel, down the road is a lovely wooded area which was pleasant in winter but could be really lovely in summer.
