This hotel was recommended to us by a Polish friend and what a cracking recommendation it was. The hotel was situated in a quiet side street minutes from the main square in Krakow. It proved to be the ideal spot for accessing trams, the castle or the square and surrounding areas. The hotel was a pleasing blend of traditional and modern, was clean and well looked after. Our room was a suite and split over two levels. The bed was huge and comfortable(no saggy matrices here), it was well equipped and we would recommend taking the hotel upgrade if offered as it was well worth it for the low cost involved. The staff, mostly young, were friendly and extremely helpful. No matter what was asked they would do their upmost to help, source or arrange. Top tip, book trips and taxis through the hotel as they were always a better price. Would we use this hotel again? Yes, without doubt, as it fulfilled our city break needs perfectly. However if top end 5 star luxury is your thing look elsewhere. If like us you prefer something that looks and feels more intimate, friendly and relaxed then look no further. HTH, Phil

This was a wonderful stay, lovely bright, clean room, lovely big bed, facilities for making tea coffee. The staff were so very helpful and kind, big smiles all around. 1 minute walk to the main square, a very central. Little pizza place downstairs was divine and plenty of local shops a couple of minutes away to buy breakfast. Absolutely recommend.

Lovely hotel for the cheap price

Reviewed By samanfaaa

Very nice very clean very comfy hotel The price was very good, room maintained everyday fresh sheets fresh towels Very big rooms very happy with my stay here Only thing I would suggest is asking for a room which doesn’t face the road side, there’s a crossing with a little ticking noise that you can hear from very early morning

Hostel 70s

Does NOT live up to the description

Reviewed By Mathilde L

Great location. But that’s really it. Our room had holes in the wall, the toilet seat was broken and fell off. Plates were dirty, and the microwave in the room was far from clean. The website said that the hostel had 24 hour reception. We got locked out of the apartment building in the middle of the night, and tried contacting the hostel multiple times. We got in after 3 hours in the cold weather, only because another guest had a key. When we told the hostel, they didn‘t seem to care

Dirty rooms

Reviewed By 877roxannes

We spent 2 nights here, the rooms are beautiful, however the dirt the room holds is unacceptable. Our feet were sticking to the floors for , when we complained Aleksandra upgraded our room to a deluxe room, the rooms again were filthy, the utensils in the dishwasher were stinking, the curtain fell from place when opening the door. The balcony was full of cigarettes when they clearly ask clients not to smoke. Her response was sorry we cant do anything. She the accused us that we broke a wine glass that was in the dishwasher, for which we only used 1 wine glass as i dont drink so we didnt need to use the glass. A small mistake of ours was that we spilled a little coffee on the bed sheets, she informed us that since we spilled the coffee we have to pay 50e for cleaning, a stain remover detergant costs 3e for which they already owe. Any way she insisted and advised us that she will report us to booking.com for which they advised us that we are not entitled to pay the 50e,, it would be absurd. At least during a pandemic the least they can do is keep rooms clean.

House of Loft Affair

Terrible service approach. Very disappointing.

Reviewed By _T9876NB

In July 2021 I booked one of their apartments for 3 nights, for us and our children. Let's start with the fact that they sent us the wrong code for the apartment and we had to wait until late for someone to answer. But the worst thing was that contrary to what was promised and written, the air conditioner in the apartment did not work as well as some electrical outlets including the TV. The heat in the apartment was unbearable. We asked for a technician to be called urgently, but unfortunately we were told that a technician would not arrive until the next day. We had to spend the night in a horrible way. The next afternoon they informed us that the problem was serious and the air conditioner would not be repaired in the next few days. Unfortunately we had to spend the whole day looking for an alternative apartment instead of enjoying and traveling in Krakow. At our request to receive a full refund for the entire booking they refused and agreed to refund only the 2 nights we did not use. They did not care that they gave us an apartment without air conditioning contrary to what was promised and they did not care that we suffered and could not sleep or that we had to spend the whole day looking for another apartment. I have full documentation proving everything I have written and would love to give it to anyone who wants it. My recommended - stay away from these apartments like wildfire !!
