Hotels near Bawialnia, Krakow

The reception at the front desk is still very good, but the facilities are really unsatisfactory: The basin and drain in the toilet were broken, and the water was everywhere after taking a shower, even soaking the carpet outside the door. There is no kettle in the room, hot water can only be picked up in the kitchen downstairs. Others are okay, maybe the above is an accidental situation.

The hotel is just behind the station, but the windows are soundproof and not noisy. The traffic is extremely convenient, and there is a large supermarket in the station, the shopping mall is convenient, because the city is small, it is only 10 minutes to walk to the old city. Going at the end of July, there is no air conditioning, no air conditioning is needed at night, and there are no mosquitoes in the window. There is an electric kettle, and it would be better if you had a small refrigerator to store food and drink cold drinks.

I am very disappointed to leave this review. This hotel should never be allowed to claim 5 stars. The whole experience was a let down. I understand that stars may differ in different countries but even still, this I'd a 3 star hotel at best. The staff were friendly, apart from one who had an attitude problem for some reason every time we spoke to her. They didn't ask if everything was OK and didn't check that we needed anything at all throughout our stay. The room only has one extremely soft weird shaped pillow per person, which might aswell not be there. The beds are comfortable, but all they are is two big singles pushed together. The carpets in the rooms are stained and wallpaper is starting to come off and worst of all for us, the overwhelming smell of cigarettes coming from the downstairs ****** is disgusting. Our room stank of cigarettes, so much so my clothes now smell of them. We are both none smokers. The bathroom had a sign on the toilet to say it had been disinfected. Yeah right. There was a hair on the toilet seat?. There was an empty bottle of vodka found behind the chair in the room which I stood on when drawing the curtains and there's a lot of noise from the road. Also, on a night there is a horrible humming noise which kept me awake. I do not expect any of this from a ”5 star” hotel. The tea and coffee in the room doesn't have milk? There is no bar apart from in the smokey ****** and the breakfast..... you get two eggs, then you can select from the table of warm yoghurts and warm meat, as it has literally been left under the heater. None of it tasted fresh and everything is at room temperature. The staff in the restaurant were friendly and nice people, it isn't their fault as there just following instructions from their managers. I get that it is meant to have a old house theme, but this doesn't excuse horribly stained carpets in the rooms and the constant smell of cigarettes. We didn't see any other guests apart from locals and I find it strange why there are so little reviews on TripAdvisor as of recent. It is 20 minutes from the city centre, however a bolt taxi only costs around £5. My overall opinion is if you want a 5 star hotel. Pay a little extra and get a 5 star. This is NOT what you want when booking 5 star.

The location is impeccable, there is free coffee in the lobby ☕️ drink, but the room is too small, the bed scalp appears off

The Art & Garden Residence is a beautifully restored hotel using a combination of eclectic art pieces and cleverly upcycled IKEA style furniture creating a truly unique boutique hotel. The garden at the rear of the property is well kept and a peaceful place to enjoy a morning coffee or breakfast if the internal restaurant space is full. Unfortunately, it closes to residents at 3pm. Just a 10-minute walk from the most northerly point of the old town we found this a great location away from the business of the main tourist area. We booked a double room with air conditioning via British Airways Executive Club utilising Avios points we’d collected during our recent travels and the room information was reflected on our booking voucher. Unfortunately, we discovered there is a disparity between the hotels third party booking site amenities description and what is actually provided by the hotel. We arrived early afternoon, dumped our bags in the room and left for the evening, retuning after 11pm to discover our ‘double bed’ was actually two single beds of different heights and two single duvets that had been pushed together, there was also no air conditioning unit in the room, just a ceiling height air vent in the wall with no controls As it was late, we decided to leave it until the morning to speak with reception. Before leaving for a tour of Auschwitz early the following morning, I asked the girl on reception if all their double beds were constructed of two singles pushed together, she advised they weren’t, so I explained our experience and asked if we could be moved into a room with double bed at which point the male night porter rudely sighed heavily in an inconvenienced manner and said ‘you’ve got a double bed, what’s the problem?’ Truly taken aback by his unprofessional response, I explained that we didn’t have a double bed we had two uncomfortable singles which considering we hadn’t booked a twin room we’d appreciate being moved into a double for the remaining two nights of our stay. The night porter rudely continued with his huffing and puffing until I advised him that we would be leaving for a tour and will return early afternoon and would hope to return to a resolution as well as a fan, as despite having the windows open all night the room was a sweat box. We returned later to an apology from the young female receptionist and the key to a new room with a double bed and a portable fan. Breakfast is excellent, well presented, with good quality food and a great selection, my only negative would be the lack of coffee choice with only pre-made filter coffee from a large canteen style urn. The rooms are well presented, the bathrooms are immaculately clean, the shower hot and powerful and the toiletries sufficient. The downside is the walls of the rooms are very thin, and you can hear everything coming from your neighbours. There was no refresh of the bedroom services (tea/coffee sachets etc) apparently this is only available on request due

We stayed at the Hotel Wyspianski in Krakow for 5 nights. Really can't fault this place at all. We had a lovely large room on the 4th floor, the bed was comfortable and they left free bottles of water for us. The hotel is in a great location, close to the Old Town, the main Market Square, a big shopping mall and lots of other attractions. The staff were all very friendly and the breakfast buffet was delicious with so much choice. We ate dinner at the hotel restaurant a couple of times and the food was amazing. The hotel bar was well stocked with Polish vodka and overall we've had a fantastic time and would certainly stay there again!

We arrived very early in Krakow & were able to leave our bags 1st thing in the morning to go & explore. Location very close to old town & a comfortable 5/10 mins walk. Our 1st night was not great due to other guests making a lot of noise. We mentioned this in the morning & were lucky enough to be moved to a different room which was perfect 😊the breakfast was lovely & varied & I was over the moon to have a Greek salad one morning! It maybe a good idea to label a couple of the dishes that are not familiar to the British, as I like to try different foods but came unstuck with one of the items which was very fishy! Maybe my own fault for trying 🙃

Very nice very clean very comfy hotel The price was very good, room maintained everyday fresh sheets fresh towels Very big rooms very happy with my stay here Only thing I would suggest is asking for a room which doesn’t face the road side, there’s a crossing with a little ticking noise that you can hear from very early morning

The hotel is very well decorated. I like it very much and everything in the room is very good. It is the hotel breakfast that has not changed for 4 days, and it is almost the same every day. This is the lack of it. In addition, the hotel location is a bit far from the city center! There is a problem with the tram station at the entrance of the hotel in the past two days. I have to take one more stop. 🙁

I arrived at the hotel around 10:00 pm after a long journey - I was greeted with information that the system was down and it was not possible to check me into the room I booked and that I had to wait in the bar area. Fortunately, the complications did not last long, otherwise it would be reasonable to offer at least a glass of water while waiting for the problem to be solved. However, this is a detail compared to the point: in the room I had no way to turn off the fan, which was so loud that I couldn't sleep. I reported the problem at the reception the next day and asked to turn off the fan - I received information that at the moment there is no such possibility, because the person responsible and able to do it is currently not at work. As a solution, I was offered earplugs, which are very uncomfortable for me to sleep in, but as they say ”better than nothing”. I was hoping for a shade of relaxation during my two-day stay, and as a result I left the hotel with a headache. Two nights of sleep deprivation, annoying ”humming” of the fan in the room and the inability to open the window = drama.
