A wonderful experience
Pros:

It was great. We left this hotel yesterday, but we already miss it. The location is perfect: near the castle, on a quiet street parallel to the main avenue. Therefore, we were right in the city centre but without the noise, and we were halfway between the Main Market Square and the lively quarter of Kazimierz. The staff, the room, the spa, the restaurant – all these elements are what made our sixth visit to Kraków so unique.

Great experience, stunning building inside and out
Pros:

A beautiful hotel with a wonderful location.

The rooms were comfortable with all the old world touches in the furnishings that made them feel special. But we appreciated the modern touch of a very high functioning air-conditioning!

Everything from the decor to the linens were wonderful. Service was great. Would stay again.

Beautiful old-fashioned hotel with a wonderful courtyard. Unique underground pool.
Pros:

Excellent location close to the main Square, but not so close that you hear the noises all night. loved the underground pool. Great for kids.

Cons:

This is a minor point, but cars cannot pull up in front of the hotel. So if you need to catch an Uber or meet your driver for an excursion, you have to walk out of the hotel and walk maybe half a block.

Amazing, amazing and even more amazing.
Pros:

The room, bed, bedding, facilities and staff were all excellent. The area is so close to the castle, river and within easy walking distance to both the Jewish Quarter and the Main square. Absolutely loved everything about the trip. Thank you.

Cons:

Nothing to do with the hotel, but through booking.com I arranged a taxi to pick us up. It took an hour to get through customs and baggage. The taxi driver waited on us, but then stated the taxi had been cancelled an we should pay him an extra 100 in cash. Do not book a taxi through booking.com as there were lots of taxi's outside around the same price.
