8.3Verified guest“The location is ideal—Old Town and Kazimierz are both close by. My room was clean and bright, with everything I needed. I loved the two terraces for relaxing. Staff made sure my room was ready early. Apart from some street noise and small towels, I'd recommend it to anyone coming to Krakow.”
