Second time at this hotel and enjoyed it. Facilities are good and really well located for the main square. On the downside… no tea/coffee in rooms (though can get room service) and the breakfast at around £35 is extortionate - though readily available for a lot less on the square.

Quiet and clean. I wish it had a lobby though for us to sit. Be aware rooms are very dark (not a lot of lighting or natural light) I know that's the whole aesthetic but it did make it difficult to put on make up or just see clearly in the room. Everything else was perfect. Good AC, big spacious room, comfy bed.

Lovely hotel just don’t stay in suite A118
Gorgeous hotel right in the centre and near all the best parts of Krakow. The only reason it didn’t score 5 stars was the noise and the curtains in our suite. We were in room A118 which is a gorgeous suite at the front of the property. We are aware that a city break isn’t relaxing but the noise from outside was constant. Bin men at 5am on 3 of the 4 days and lots of local revellers in the early hours of the morning. Not the hotels fault but do consider if you are offered room A118. Also, the curtains (although very fashionable) were made of hessian and doesn’t block any light. They don’t even fit the window. This also woke us up very early in the morning. Apart from these 2 points we had a lovely stay here. Just avoid room A118

Stunning hotel and great service. Sauna/spa facilities were lovely. Perfect walkable area with everything around you and surprisingly quiet in the room given the bustling location. One of my favorite hotels stays, will likely be back. We ended up deciding to park on the street and had to walk about 5-10 minutes due to needing to park outside old town square but had no issues.

Beautiful hotel but no sleep
We were so excited to stay here after researching the place but found it did not live up to expectations. Our main reason for booking this hotel was a quiet and relaxing break. To start with the positives the hotel was extremely central and the interior design and rooms beautiful. Our room was spotless and cleaned and restocked daily. Hotel staff were friendly and happy to help with supplying extra pillow. The spa was lovely to be able to use and well equipped with robes and towels. Our main criticism was the noise experienced during the stay. On our first night despite our room being an enclosed courtyard the doors and windows overlooking this provided no sound insulation and so we were woken by the people opposite (on the other side of the courtyard) several times. We mentioned this but were reassured that those rooms were empty the following day. On our third night we were woken at 8am with drilling and thudding which went on all morning we were told this would be the case for at least another day as they were working on the sky bar above. At this point we asked if we could refund our final two nights stay but told we would only have the option of losing our money and checking out as we booked through hotels.com. we were moved to a room which was quiter though still had thudding above and on our last night we found it was a partition door that separated us from noisy guests next door. Overall the lack of sleep and having to change rooms really spoiled the holiday.
