Balthazar Design Hotel

"Located in the old town this hotel was amazing. We arrived when it was snowing to a warm welcome and a lovely warm hotel. Our luggage was carried to our rooms & a personalised welcome note greeted us in the room with a small cookie, a simple but perfect touch. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. We did not eat here so cannot comment on the food. Staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel & stay here again."

"I've got to tell you, as a girl from the States this hotel was absolutely life changing! First of all, breakfast is included and delicious each day and you can get as many mimosas as you want. After that, you can hop back in bed with your mate (or whoever you happen to be with at the time) until you are ready to take on Krakow. Everything is close by from castles to rivers to gelato to live music. The staff here are top notch and quenched my amaretto thirst from the moment I arrived. 10/10 recommend this gem to everyone who can stay here!"

"Visited in June 2026, we found the hotel ideal for what we needed. The location was excellent, within walking distance of Wawel Castle, the main square and Kazimierz. Our room overlooked the restaurant courtyard; no view, but it was quiet. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice, and all made to order. There’s no bar in the hotel, but there are a few nearby. This place works well for anyone looking for a central base with quiet rooms and a good breakfast."
