I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. We arrived quite late to Florianska Street which is very touristy and always seems to be packed. I was a little anxious but then we stepped into the beautiful calm oasis of the Hotel Pod Różą. The welcome we were given was so charming that it set the tone for our whole trip. The rooms are lovely. There is everything you need and they are full of things you didn’t even know you needed! They are quite austerely furnished in dark woods in a rather masculine style. No fancy frilly cushions you don’t know what to do with but clean lines, very functional and rather beautiful as well. We were staying in single rooms on the 3rd floor and the beds and furniture are Biedermeier style and very comfortable. The beds seemed a lot bigger than regular single beds. We all remarked on it. The air-conditioning works perfectly which was a boon in 31° heat. The rooms have parquet flooring, high ceilings and are really well lit. I have a sight problem and I dread staying in hotels because they usually have ‘atmospheric’ lighting and are so dimly lit that I find it hard. I usually take extra lighting with me but no need this time because the lighting is perfect. You can have it as dim or as bright as you want. I did not use the spa because the lighting is so low and it makes it a hazard for me but my companions did and liked it, saying it was small but very nice. The breakfast is really good. Simply don’t recognise the few negative comments I read in other reviews which had worried me a bit. First you get a tray of ‘appetisers’ and home baked bread. There are things like tapenade, mortadella ham and cheese, yoghurt with granola, houmos, tomatoes sprinkled with chives, herring with onions, tartare of salmon and then you can choose one hot item from the menu: everything from Polish sausage, Eggs Benedict to a delicious mushroom & Gruyère omelette or bacon and eggs with caramelised onions.

There is genuinely nothing. I just can’t fault it.

Location was amazing. I don’t think you could get better for being right next to the main square. The spa, although very small was super relaxing. Staff were very nice. Really lovely stay. Room 410 was big and amazing bathroom.

The bed was big, however the mattress was too small for it so they had put a duvet or two at the end to make it fit. The hotel had told me it would be 150zloty for the transfer but the driver charged me 180 which grated on me. Hotel maybe should have advise I download the Bolt app which is like Uber which I did for the journey back to the airport and it cost 39zloty.

Perfect location, just a few steps away from the main square, with many restaurants and cafes nearby. In a walking distance to the railway station and all key Krakow attractions. The room was fantastic - clean, spacious and elegant, perfect for a romantic stay. There was a delicate smell of old wood furniture and floors that reminded me of a castle. From our window, above the rooftops of other buildings, we could see the Mariacki Church towers and we could hear Hymnal very well through open windows. An extraordinary experience. The bed was big and comfy, although better pillows wouldn't hurt! The SPA was very nice, we had it all to ourselves in early afternoon for over an hour which was an additional bonus. The only additional thing it could have is a swimming pool or at least a jacuzzi but I appreciate the space is limited. The SPA looks magical, with the stone walls and the high ceiling and the dimmed lights. The herbal scent from the SPA spread across the hotel - in a good way :) The staff was super polite, we felt properly pampered.

There was some noise outside the room very early in the morning, at 5am, as if someone was carrying something heavy up the stairs, for 10+ minutes. Whilst I'm not particularly annoyed it happened, I think the doors could do a better job at reducing the noise - both ways.

- The location could not be better - The staff is amazing and is very helpful. The hotel is beautiful and is a two minute walk to everything. I was on the top floor and it was relatively quiet from outside noise. The bar and restaurant are also lovely. Despite booking the hotel because of the spa, I got wrapped up in the adventures of krakow and never made it to the spa. But I did tour and it is as beautiful as the pictures.

Big one for solo travelers- there is no secondary lock on the door. No pad lock. No latch. It’s an out swing door and key card only. I almost changed hotels because of this fact alone but felt safe enough to stay. If I were to do it again, despite all of the above, I wouldn’t stay here solo because of this factor. I hope they add a secondary lock.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming hotel located right in the heart of the old town in Krakow, and it was an unforgettable experience! The location is perfect for exploring the beautiful streets and historical sites, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing. One of the highlights of my stay was the excellent spa situated in an ancient basement. The atmosphere was serene and inviting, offering a unique blend of history and relaxation. The treatments were top-notch, allowing me to unwind after a day of exploring. Additionally, I was impressed by the quality of the toiletries provided. The shampoos and shower gels were exceptional, adding a touch of luxury to my daily routine. Overall, this hotel combines a fantastic location with wonderful amenities, making it a perfect choice for anyone visiting Krakow.

The property was amazing - tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and very relaxing. We had Room 103 which was a suite and it was impeccable. The bed was very comfortable, plenty of space and a fantastic bathroom. The staff were all very helpful, courteous and resolved any questions very quickly. The breakfast was amazing! We were not expecting so much food, all of which tasted great. There were a set of appetisers which were filling enough but then you had a hot course and a dessert! Breakfast staff were very polite and efficient too. We used the spa facilities also which were fantastic. We had a hammam treatment with massage and it was exceptional. We are already looking to stay again as it was one of the best hotels we have both stayed in.

The location is located a block away from the main square so if you are sensitive to street noise, you may want to bear in mind. It’s a very busy area.

Spotless, clean, convenient, and very friendly. The breakfasts were fabulous, everyday a surprise. The decor was an eclectic mix of art deco, beautiful.

The beds were sleigh beds, and the pillows kept disappearing down the back, and it was very cold in the room at night because the air-conditioning kept defaulting to just 21 degrees. The sauna was very difficult to use for me as I have trouble bending down and need handrails, etc. We were also surprised that there was no tea/coffee making facility in the rooms. Otherwise, the hotel was perfect.

The food was delicious and very reasonable. We tried the 7 course lunch deal and it was different nut delicious. So clean and fresh smells everywhere. Beautiful flower displays. Thermal.spa was a real treat especially after walking all day. So central and safe. Staff were lovely and so helpful. Very quiet and we also got an upgrade for our anniversary. Highly recommend.

I liked everything. If I could choose one thing and that would be the lack of colour but still a beautiful hotel..

Loved absolutely everything about my stay in this period hotel. Breakfast exceeded my expectations. The room was great and quite spacious while the bathroom was also equipped with underfloor heating. The spa in the basement is fantastic and stays open till very late. I went in after 8pm and it felt as if I had reserved the entire space for myself because there was absolutely no one in sight 😎 I would have missed breakfast due to an early flight on my last day, but the staff kindly prepared some packed food and drinks for take away which I collected after my check out. All in all, it was a great experience and I would definitely consider staying there again if I ever returned to Krakow!
