Krakow Hotels

Kraking location - Holiday Inn City Centre, Krakow

Advantages: Great location as a base to visit this city, well recommended
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for

...this later). The Holiday Inn is just outside this horseshoe, only a short distance from the most historic sights (a 10 minute stroll the main Market Square) and this means you are in an excellent location for exploring on foot. Several tram lines also run only 100m away, to connect to wider areas. Accommodation Walking off a main, busy street you pass through a car park area (there is a hotel shop on one side) and into the outer lobby (steps up). ...
...fresh and fluffy towels and Holiday Inn cosmetics - soap, shampoo etc. Most HI also offer a 'If you forgot' service, where they will supply (FOC) a comb, razor, toothbrush, toothpaste and so on if you have forgotten yours - this hotel did so. Catering I used the lobby bar only one or twice, but as I said it was pretty much full of Irish stag party revellers when I was there so my experience is probably not typical. It was, at the time, full, busy ...

Review of Holiday Inn Krakow City Center, Krakow

Hotel Novotel, Krakow

Advantages: good
Disadvantages: not bad

...this hotel. have stayed in novotel hotels before so i knew what to expect!! firstly the name! CENTRUM that would lead you to believe that it is centrally located! then think again! it is a good 15min walk ,which ok is nothing! (and the hotel is in a beautiful setting near the river) but when you start exploring this beautiful city, you do not realise just how much walking you will do!!!! There is a tram stop just across the road and 2 stops you are ...
...tram back, where it drops you off you are on like an intersection which is very busy, and unless you use the underpasses( there are 2, one being along side the river, the other by a supermarket, okay during the day but i would be a bit cautious at night! there were some drunks around!) you can always play frogger with the road (i kid you not!!) Back to the hotel itself well we requested an non smoking room! got there was asked smoking or non smoking! ...

Review of Novotel Krakow Centrum, Krakow

Hotel Start - you'd be mad to dismiss it

Advantages: Pretty cheap, good value buffet breakfast, quieter than hostels, good transport links
Disadvantages: A bus/tram ride from town, may get stag parties staying, too basic for some tastes

...cheapest deal meant staying at Hotel Start; it's classed as a two star, though I tend to ignore star classifications as I don't find them that helpful when standards vary from country to country. I "googled" the hotel before booking and found their own website as well as a handful of reviews on Tripadvisor. The reviews on Tripadvisor were quite scathing but I don't give much value to them personally because I find the people posting them tend to ...
...you can call it a hotel that is, i have ever stayed in. They haven't even bothered to change the doors in rooms or redecorate any of it since its ex-mental hospital days. Rooms are a disaster and if your lucky you might get a padded door in yours!!!" Other reviews were less negative and I put my faith in those reviews and, finding nothing to dissuade me on the hotels website, I went ahead and booked. I needed to know how to get from the airport to ...

Review of Hotel Start, Krakow

Great Hotel, Excellent Location

Advantages: Very well situated, clean, comfortable
Disadvantages: Rooms at the front get noise at night

...accommodation. Having stayed in the Holiday Inn chain on previous holidays we were happy with the choice of hotel. We stayed during the last weekend in February. On Arrival The hotel looks nice from the outside and the entrance looks welcoming. Check in was quite smooth although our credit card wasn't accepted despite informing the company of our trip to Poland before we left the UK. The reception staff seemed patient about this and let us ...
...as much choice as other Holiday Inn's we have been to but it was still nice. The Area This hotel is in an excellent location. It is right in the city centre and all the main tourist spots, such as Main Market Square, can be reached easily by foot. The hotel is located 15KM from the airport. When we got in the taxi at the airport (we booked it through the hotel) the taxi driver told us that the hotel is very well located and I think this is definitely ...

Review of Holiday Inn, Krakow

Please dont rate-in wrong place

Advantages: Convenient location, lovely apartment, good value for money
Disadvantages: Outside of building could do with a re-vamp

...came across a website for Old Town Apartments. Old Town Apartments Old Town Apartments own a number of apartments in various parts of Prague. These range from studio apartments to apartments that sleep up to eight people. I booked a studio apartment as we obviously only needed the one bedroom. Booking Our Stay Booking our apartment was really simple. I literally logged onto their website, entered the dates I needed to stay and also which sort ...
...the same area. Taxi Old Town Apartments offer a taxi service where they will collect you from the airport and drop you to the apartment. We decided to take up this offer because otherwise we would have had to collect the keys to the apartment from their office in the centre of Prague, so we figured getting a taxi would be easier. A one way trip was £17 which was quite expensive but it gave us peace of mind that we were going to get there. Location ...
