Good location
Great location, near the main square and a short walk from the railway station. Lovely old school rustic polish decor. Friendly service. Only downside was the creaky floorboards that made a lot of noise when you were wslking around the room. I felt sorry for the guests in the room below.

Would recommend for solo travellers
Fantastic location right in the old town. Loads of bars and restaurants but not noisy as rooms in a rear courtyard. Comfy bed and good size shower. Hot water all day. Nice and warm (Feb stay so cold at night outside but heating good.) Room cleaned on request, but this is good if you don’t want to be disturbed after a late night!

Brilliant location, very close to the main square and not far from the bus/train station. For me no problem, but it might have been for others: on the weekends, there is a very noisy club in the building or next door. (It wouldn't stop me from staying there again.) The door to my room did not close very well, so I could hear everything that went on outside on the corridor: old building.

Great location
Great location just off the main square of the old town of Krakow. Big double room with private facilities, the decor was dated but that didn't matter to us.Tea/coffee making and TV (not that we watched it). Staff very helpful and friendly, Would definitely consider stopping there again if we retuned to Krakow.

Great Guest House.
As a reasonably priced Guest House off Kraków’s main square we found our room to be basic but clean, warm and had everything we required for sleeping in. It was en suite and the shower was good with plenty of hot water throughout the day. The location was excellent and the staff were very helpful, friendly with very good English. Plenty of cafes in the vicinity for breakfast every morning and tea/coffee making facilities in the room. Two negatives only - only one channel on TV and not in English, but this didn’t bother us, not on holiday for TV!! Also, walls were not sound proof and could hear people in the next room, on two nights. All in all a very good, value for money stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Disliked: Amenities
It is very old and small. Heater was not very hot but will not keep you freezing in the room. Amenities are very old. My kids were excited to see the pictures that they have pool table they want to play, but we were told it is 8:00, people are resting so it is not open . But how loud could play pool table be? The second morning my husband and kid ask again, it was also not allowed. I asked for using washing machine, the answer is to wait until 11;00am the next day. Check out is 11:00am. The water boiler is not very clean so we didn’t use it instead we bought cold water to drink. We checked out before 9:00 the second morning。 It was just one night。

The property was in a good location for the Christmas Market. However the look and feel of the reception area, stairway, and room was not maintained and very outdated. The towel heater was broken and the grout in the bathroom was grimy. Also there were some type of insects in the bathroom at night. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Probably wouldn’t stay here again.
