Hotel Pod Wawelem  

A change in my travel plans meant I needed to leave my suitcase at the hotel the day before I was due to check in. The receptionist, Maria, could not have been more helpful. When I finally arrived for my stay at this beautiful hotel my case was already in my room. Dinner and breakfast in hotel restaurant were first class and I only wish I could have spent more time there to take advantage of the leisure facilities and the rooftop terrace which, unfortunately, was not open as it was too cold when I visited. Pod Wawelem is ideally situated for sightseeing in this wonderful city, a short walk to the Rynek, Kazimierz and bus and tram stops. I cannot recommend the hotel highly enough and will definitely return and stay longer.

The roof top terrace/bar/restaurant gave fantastic views of the river and Wawel castle. The staff were very good, always smiling and very attentive. Just remember, this is central Europe and a 10% tip is normal on top of every bill. The bills, however, will not break the bank and given the roof top location with the views it has you could pay twice this rate at another hotel.

No complaints

The hotel was very close to the old town, the parks and the river. Very nice to go sightseing, shopping or just relax along the river.

Splendid view on the royal castle and river. Very clean, very nice service.

Location was great, right by the castle and river, but very quiet. Also very near to most of the attractions, with the old town being just a short walk away. Our room had a nice view overlooking the river. Breakfast was a big selection of hot and cold foods with a good variety of drinks to choose from. There was a steam room facility but we were out exploring the city most of the time so didn't have a chance to check it out.

The hotel booked us a taxi to the hotel on our way back, the taxi wasn't a taxi, more like a friend with a van. Also the driver seemed a little high on something. We were just glad we got to the airport safely!

It was a brilliant central location.

Included in our booking were a choice of drinks in the evening or lunch. We chose the drinks but were dissapointed to discover that we were unable to use the vouchers on the rooftop bar. If we were to use these vouchers up there we would have stayed for dinner using the upstairs restaurant.

The location of the hotel was excellent just 10 minutes through the park and you were at the main market square. The castle was right beside the hotel and we sat on the terrace bar with a nice cold beer watching the people and the boats on the river. At night for being so central it was really quiet and so we got great nights sleep after all our sight seeing. We ate in the Hotel a few times and the food was lovely and also we were given vouchers which enabled us to either our lunch free or drinks at night which was excellent (although you could not use them in the terrace bar which was a bit disappointing). Breakfast was served up to 10:30 which was great as we went a walk up the river first before enjoying a great breakfast with plenty of variety hot and cold food. The room was really clean and the bathroom looked newly decorated. The reception booked us our trips to the salt mines and Auschwitz and also our taxi back to the airport. All in all I would highly recommend this hotel and hope to return again. A*****

Great location with friendly but unobtrusive staff. Spacious rooms and great breakfast buffet. This was the third time I have stayed here and would recommend it to anyone seeking comfort and good value.

I did not have much time to stay in the hotel because my reason to visot krakow was attending to a conference. But it was very clean not old faced unlike most of the others close to Raddisson and infront of the river. 10 min walk to market square. You may walk everywhere within 30 minutes. I would stay again and recommment it Thete is a free included drink option which was in between 6:30 pm to 11 pm which is in the hours you would prefer to dine out. So o would say di not prefer if there is a difference in the price of the room as I could not use thosevfee daily dated tickets Otherwise it is ok. Breakfast is enough good. Free access cable Internet in the room. Free access wireless is only in the lobby restaurant.

A bit cold

Our room overlooking the vistwa river.The rooftop bar,and the central location..

It's in the center near the castel - so you can have very nice walks just close to the hotel.

Nothing was too much trouble excellent value for money good location for the city and sight seeing

Excellent food in restaurant and overall value for money.
