Hotel and location perfect, slightly rude staff who forget to book our airport transportation as requested, no tea coffee making facilities in the room which is disappointing for a five star property.

Perfect combination of high end luxury but unpretentious. One of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in. The staff were fantastic and the hotel itself is beautifully designed.

8/10

This property is located increadibly close to the Christmas market and beautifully located near many attractions in Krakow. The hotel restaurant is delicious and the bar makes great drinks. The only negative is that the walls are a bit thin and the noice from the hallway can be heard very easily from the room.
4-night trip

10/10

Absolutely top notch hotel. Better than any other similar rated establishment. The interior is stunning and you get a true sense of this being a restored historical place. The wellness centre in the basement is amazing. The staff was amazing - courteous, friendly. The only things I would have preferred was tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms and extr pillows available, but Im sure I could have asked for that. Restaurant is expensive. Will most certainly go there again on my next stay at Krakow

It is truly one of a kind hotels with a beautiful interior design mixing modern and old charm. The team is very professional and attentive. My favorite hotel to stay in Cracow.
1-night trip

10/10

Beautiful, understated hotel. High design, quality and exceptional attention to detail. The ONLY thing we noticed was the lack of sound insulation. You can hear conversations and bathrooms next door very clearly so just bring some earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Everything else about the property (spa, interior design and location, to name a few) make up for this one tiny detail. We’ve already recommended the hotel to a friend and we already have plans to return.
