Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Service can feel brisk — A few guests noted that breakfast service and the bar felt a bit rushed or impersonal, though the rest of the staff were friendly.
- Price reflects the premium — Rates start from 382 GBP per night, which is high for Krakow and may not suit all budgets.
- No on-site smoking — The hotel is strictly non-smoking, which could be a downside for smokers.
