    Curtains in our room didn’t cover the whole window so it was light in the morning but not a huge deal for us. A few more umbrellas at the sky bar would have been better as it was really hot when we went.

    Fantastic location. River view room with a small balcony looked straight at the river and the castle to the left. Sky bar had fantastic views and Somersby cider. Comfy bed and good shower. Staff were friendly. Breakfast was a mix of different and sometimes unexpected foods but there was plenty of it and we ate well.

    The air conditioning didn’t work. During our stay, it was +31°C in Kraków, and the AC was not cooling the room. It was actually cooler in the corridor or even outside. Unfortunately, we couldn’t sleep with the windows open because it was too noisy outside.

    The location is perfect, and the service is excellent. The hotel team is very friendly and works hard to ensure guests enjoy their stay. Breakfast is served with an amazing view of Wawel Castle. The hotel’s sky bar is also very nice. We were even able to check in earlier than expected. Good value for a price.

    The magnetic key to the room wasn't working, we had to get it set up several times throughout our stay, but the staff members were always very helpful and sorted the problem very quickly. It wouldn't put us off from staying at the hotel again as everything else was spot on.

    The facilities, restaurant with great food. Cleanliness. Location. Nice, approachable, helpful staff. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel.

    Some parts of the build seemed to get old and they were degrading.

    The breakfast was the only thing we didn’t like about the hotel.

    There is no better location in Krakow. It’s on the river with lovely views and it’s also a good in between the Old Town and the Jewish Quarter, so it’s easy to explore between the two.

    Perfect -- I'm already looking forward to my next stay here. The staff, the room, and the breakfast exceeded all expectations. Location and view deserve a very separate notice. Do take a look at the tiny, but very nice souvenir section.

    The room is small ( up to room that you reserved of course ).

    The location is awesome, you could go everywhere at krakow by walk. 10 min to old town, near the Wawel Castel and vistula cruises. 15 mins walk to Jewish getto and 20 mins to Schindler’s factory. Breakfast is good enough, good view rooms ( looks the vistula river ). There is so nice Terrace bar and they give you 2 free vines up there :)

    If the rooftop bar is busy, you may be waiting a little bit longer for the elevator in the evening. Rooms were showing a bit of age, but not unreasonably so.

    Super convenient location adjacent to Wawel Castle. A bit further walk to the central scale, but not too challenging. A public parking lot is immediately adjacent to the hotel if you arrive by car. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooftop bar was a great way to end the night.
