Kazimierz II

"This hotel is an ideal base, for use, whilst staying in Krakow. It's close to all areas worth visiting and has bus, tram and taxi ranks nearby if wishing to travel further afield. The hotel itself, is run by friendly staff, who all speak good English, which makes up for our poor, next to nothing Polish. Nothing seems too much trouble and on our opening evening, due to an early booked excursion, when asking at reception, about breakfast, they catered for us by making up a breakfast to take with us, to collect from reception, the next morning, despite us leaving 30mins prior to the breakfast room opening. The room, we were allocated, was on the second floor, at the back of the hotel and was large, had a comfortable double bed, with a wardrobe ample enough for our needs, with a single chair and writing desk table, which had a kettle , with coffee and tea making facilities. The bathroom, was also spacious, with a modern design, that had a mixer tap wash basin, with soap dispenser, a large mirror, situated directly above and an enclosed shower cubicle at the far right, which had sliding doors, so no water leakage on the floor. A large and small, white fluffy towel were supplied for each of us. The free breakfast supplied , from 7 til 10:30 was located in the basement and supplied something for everyone. There is only one small toaster, so time your visit to make toast well. Check out is at midday 12pm, so there's no rush on your last day, which is nice. The only, bad thing of note, was the view from our rooms window, overlooking the back yard, which was like a dumping ground. This let the overall experience of the hotel down badly. Otherwise, we would fully recommend this hotel, for a stay in Krakow."

"Currently staying at the hotel and can’t fault it at all. Yes rooms a bit dated but clean excellent air con. Staff are so friendly and helpful nothing is too much bother. Breakfast was simple but nice. Hotel located right next to a tram stop when you can get a tram to old town for £1 each. 10 min walk to Jewish square lots of nice restaurants. Excellent stay would def return. Got a bolt from airport cost £10"

"Our last night tonight of a 5 night break,myself and teen son. . I changed to this hotel last minute do to my previous having no air con. So glad I did we’ve had temps in the low 30s this week and the aircon in the room is fantastic Unfortunately we didn’t get one of the refurbished rooms but we did have a twin room front and centre of the building. The room is a bit dated furniture and decoration wise but to be honest it was fine it was somewhere to sleep and we didn’t even mind chilling for a few hours before bed because we’re not ones for late nights. The beds were comfortable and bedding nice and clean. One suggestion tho, maybe extra pillows. I struggled with just one. Bathroom is quite compact but the shower has great water pressure The room had a wall mounted tv which was great for us to watch the World Cup. Also, I think it could do with a small fridge just for keeping drinks cold or milk etc. I’ve read in other reviews people complaining about tram noise. I can confirm you can hear them at the front of the building but I’m a terrible light sleeper usually but the trams didn’t bother me at all. As for rooms shaking with the noise… nonsense. Also we heard nothing from the adjacent room. Breakfast was included with the room and it was ok. Lots of choice just not really for us. Seems to be more orientated to Polish or German guests. We managed to find something on a couple of mornings but we’re not big on breakfast so it wasn’t an issue. The reception staff are all very pleasant as were the cleaning staff. We only had our room serviced once at our choice but we had clean towels and bedding It’s about 20 minutes walk to the main area (old town) and just across the road (about 5 mins away) is Plac Nowy where you can get some fabulous traditional food. The area looks rough round the edges but it adds to the charm. Would I recommend, absolutely. Would we stay again, maybe not, but only because we’d try to get nearer the Old Town. I’m getting on a bit and I struggled with the walk every day tho a Bolt taxi was a godsend and cheap as chips. Please don’t be put off by the negative Nellies complaining about the noise it’s a cracking little hotel and really good value for money"
