just come back from a 4 night stay at 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 in the centre! thats fine but when you get the 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 ...
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
and booked.
I needed to know how to get from the airport to the hotel by public transport and e-mailed the hotel directly two days beforehand. A swift and friendly reply came within minutes with what turned out to be correct and simple instructions. The journey from the airport took approximately thirty minutes with one change of bus at the Cracovia stop. Buses stop almost outside the hotel and there are two tram stops within two minutes walk. From here you can get the edge of the Old Town in ten minutes, the buses and trams passing directly by the Wawel, then the Old Town and finally the main train station. It's really too far to walk if you are only staying for a short time.
Having seen a photograph of the hotel on line we knew what we were looking for. The hotel looks like an office block and, indeed, this is partly what it is ...
Advantages: Lovely Reception/Bar area Disadvantages: Uncomfy beds
I have just been to Krakow in Poland for my stag do and this is a review of the hotel that I stayed in while in Krakow. For those of you who are looking for some juicy gossip from the stag may I just remind you before I go any further about the first rule of a stag which is 'What happens on the stag, stays on the stag.' This is not a kop-out on my part but just simply due to the fact that I do not remember much about it!
**GETTING TO THE HOTEL**
We flew with Ryanair from Glasgow Prestwick Airport direct to Krakow Airport, a flight which took about two and a half hours. We nearly never made it to Poland as the pilot announced that he may not be able to land the flight due to a very drunk Polish guy on the plane who was refusing to either sit down or fasten his seat belt for landing. The story that was passing round the plane ...
