The hotel is conveniently located and offers good rooms, but the bed comfort could be improved. The service was lacking in flexibility and had some unexpected additional charges. The central location is ideal for exploring the city. The dining experience was satisfying with a variety of fresh food. Overall, the hotel provides decent value for money.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were cozy and comfortable, despite being small and a bit dim, they were perfect for a good night's sleep. The wake-up call from the church bells at 6 in the morning added a charming touch. The oversized bathroom with a huge bathtub was a delightful surprise. The service was outstanding, with friendly and helpful staff who even took care of booking our tours and transfers. The location couldn't have been better, allowing us easy access to the main square and other attractions. The dining experience offered a good selection of delicious food. However, the room size and dim lighting may not suit everyone, and the dining options could be slightly improved for more variety.

The hotel had compact rooms but had all the facilities I needed. At times it felt a bit cramped when guests arrived simultaneously. The staff was helpful and accommodating, but there was a slight issue with getting assistance on the night of our arrival. The location was superb, close to the main square and Wawel Castle, making it a top choice. The dining options were varied but could be better organized. Overall, a convenient and comfortable stay.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were incredibly spacious and clean, and the large bathroom was a real treat. The staff were so kind and even prepared lunch boxes for us to take away. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the main square, and the dining experience was excellent with plenty of choices. However, the facilities were a bit limited, but overall, great value for money.
