Hotels near Church of the Transfiguration in Krakow

Stayed at this prestigious hotel 5 years ago and just couldn't fault it. Stay again recently to find out it has been taken over. If it better??? In one word, no. The luxury is still the same, the staff are very pleasant and helpful but... It's lost its, well, specialness. Everything seemed slightly false. It appears to be trying to hard. Gone is the feeling of doing the normal things very well to having the feeling of trying to be too exclusive. Breakfast was, nouveau cuisine ish. There is no bar to talk off, supposedly being upgraded (which had been going on according to other reviews for well over a month!!!!) and replaced by a small excuse at the end of the dining room. Don't get me wrong, it's still a wonderful place to stay. The location is superb. The decor wonderful. Just not what it was, in my opinion.

Near the Krakow train station and bus station (that one can catch the buses to Auschwitz Concentration Camp) which can be accessed through the tunnel near the hotel. There are 2 Ibis brands side by side which you can go thru the door of one to get to the other hotel ( instead of going round the building).

A pleasant spa zone, a large swimming pool with attractions, e.g. counter-current, waterfall. There is a jacuzzi for several people. Unfortunately only 6 sunbeds and a sauna with a glass door in view. Delicious breakfast, a large selection of dishes from the a la carte and in the buffet (there is even sushi). It's worth coming for the breakfast alone. The air conditioning in the room resets to 22 degrees every time you leave, it's a bit too cold.

A good sized and well located hotel, it’s just a short stroll from the main train station and a few minutes’ walk to the old town. Décor wise it feels quite dated, both in the reception area and the rooms, but everything was clean, tidy and in full working order. The room was just about an adequate size, we had requested a twin which came with one double bed and one single, and there was little or no room to the side of each bed with one being up against the wall and one against the windows. Two singles would have worked a little better perhaps. There was also a small sofa and a small round table. The beds were very comfy and our room was facing on to the internal courtyard so no noise from outside at all, although being adjacent to the lift we did get a bit of noise from that, but nothing too intrusive. The temperature in both the room and the rest of the hotel was far too warm, quite hot in fact. There was an air conditioning unit in the room, but using energy to both heat the room and then cool it seems ridiculous. The shower was on the small side, but hot and powerful. Other facilities included tea/coffee making facilities, complimentary bottles of water, TV and a safe. Breakfast was a help yourself buffet affair, with the only hot options being a frankfurter style sausage and scrambled egg. There was a good cold spread though, with meats, cheeses, tomato & mozzarella, hard boiled eggs and a few mixed up concoctions – presumably the Polish equivalents of coleslaw and potato salad, but whatever they were, they were quite pleasant, and also some cereals. What was very much lacking was any prepared fruit (just a few whole apples), yoghurts (none at all) and pastries (just bread and rolls). Overall, I thought this was a pretty good hotel given the price, it’s a very good location, staff were friendly enough and I’d have no problem with recommending it if you’re on a tight budget.

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.

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.

Great location , but a bit loud because of the trains , apart from that we recommended this hotel ,as it's in heart of Kraków , very close to train station and Galeria Krakowska , walking distance to Old Town it's just few minutes through park

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

The location is very good, in the old city, where to eat and travel is convenient, leaving the train station is also very close, that is, the house decoration is relatively old, the bed is general, the bathroom decoration equipment is good.

Location is perfect. Really nice place just next to old town and town was pretty. Hotel building can feel the history. Air conditioning working well. Room was clean and people is nice with delicious breakfast buffet. From 7:00am - 10:00am. And check out time is wonderful till 12:00pm. But 1 thing, wifi connection is not good. This is hurting point. Hope can be improved next time :)
