Pros:

We truly enjoyed your hotel and the Old Town! Krakow is such a beautiful city! Very walkable, so clean and welcoming! The hotel accommodations, staff and dining areas were exceptional. We came to Krakow to visit Auschwitz primarily and to never forget the human capacity for evil. We left with profound memories we will always remember. Thank you for such a remarkable experience in your country!

Les clés Michelin ne sont pas du tout justifiées!
Pros:

L’emplacement juste à côté du château, la taille de la chambre et la décoration en adéquation avec le lieu historique. Le petit-déjeuner copieux et la serveuse très prévenante.

Cons:

Le service principalement. Aucune explication sur la chambre lors du check-in, alors que le système d’éclairage est un peu complexe. J’ai dû me débrouiller avec ma valise.
Le service de chambre est catastrophique. Une femme de chambre est entré pendant que je prenais ma douche à 9.30 du matin, sans s’excuser, pour savoir si je souhaitais que la chambre soit faite. Les rideaux ont été tirés une nuit sur les 3 de mon séjour. Le lit était fait sans être fait. Les bouteilles d’eau entamée non remplacée….
On est très loin du niveau attendu dans un relais et château, encore plus d’un hôtel 2 clés Michelin!
