It’s a superb boutique hotel . It’s a shame there’s no bar , on site spa or common areas to use but that doesn’t detract from the beauty and location . Would stay there again in a heartbeat

Lovely hotel in great location. The food in the hotel was exceptional. The only issue we had was with noise from construction scaffolding being erected on the property opposite. The noise continued throughout the night.

Quaint and classy hotel. I enjoyed the uniqueness of the room. The staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions about the area and any requested services. Great location, as well. Close to the square and the river, basically right next to the Wawel Castle Would definitely stay again

A little gem

Wonderful hotel, situated in the old town of Krakow. Walking distance to bars, shops, restaurants. Breakfast was tasty and the staff were very helpful. We booked a tour for early in the morning, and they made us a packed lunch to bring with us!! Delicious. Rooms are decorated to a very high standard. Molton Brown toiletries. Nespresso coffee maker. I would highly recommend staying here.

I cannot recommend this hotel enough. What really set it above is the service of the Staff. Friendly, and extremely helpful. The room was stunning. Lots of amenities, with an amazing attention to detail. Physically the hotel was absolutely beautiful. Luxurious and chic. Excellent location to both the old city square and Kazimierz (Old Jewish Quarter), and a multitude of historic and beautiful Churches. Stay here if you want your visit to Krakow to be the best.

This is a stunning hotel in a perfect location. Travelled with my adult son and was surprised with huge room with two separate sleeping areas and - best of all! - two bathrooms. Lots of nice touches - welcome liqueur and biscuits, daily replenished water and coffee, complimentary bottle of wine. Loved this and would definitely return.
