The WiFi frequently had poor connectivity. I attempted to improve the signal by walking around the room and my floor with my phone or laptop, but to no avail. Perhaps the connection was better on the first floor. However, I managed to find a café near the main square, Green Caffe Nero, which offered excellent internet and served good coffee. It's a great alternative for anyone needing a reliable workspace.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Golden Lion Guest Rooms Szewska 19. The host was exceptionally kind, providing me with all the necessary information during check-in. The room itself was perfect for a solo traveler - clean, well-sized, and reasonably priced. One of the highlights of the facility is its two kitchens, allowing guests to prepare their meals as they please. While having more cutlery would be a welcome addition, what was provided was sufficient for my needs. The location couldn't have been better; just a few steps from the main square. However, it's worth noting that the area can get quite noisy at night, typical of the vibrant Krakow city center. Nonetheless, this is beyond the control of the host, and I came prepared with earplugs. In conclusion, my stay offered excellent value for money, and despite the minor inconvenience of noise, I would highly recommend Golden Lion Guest Rooms Szewska 19 to fellow travelers.

Central location also means a lot of activity and noise in the streets all through the night. - Not a problem for me though.

Nice and clean, not exactly luxury, but very fair at a good price. Very central location

Bed was very uncomfortable, hardly any hot water and the reception was outside our room so when the phone went off at 3 in the morning we were woken up.

Fantastic location, great value and felt safe and secure.

Great location, welcome host, and clean room. Not so fantastic, but pretty good to stay for a few days

Room was a little basic and dated for a superior room but it was clean and had the essentials

Great location, the staff let us check in early as our room was ready, and gave us good recommendations for some tourist things to do.

Nothing

Bit old fashioned but that's to be expected in old town Krakow. Very comfortable and great location. Kitchenette was a useful benefit

The only thing I did not like was there seems to be no sound proofing. The hotel is sat in a popular street in the old town which is fabulous. However this means that it is busy all hours of the night (at least it seems on Friday- Sunday when we visited). So the street were noisy and you could hear other residents loudly. One person in our block put opera on loudly but I couldn’t quite tell if it was outside or inside because depending where you were in the room, you could hear noises from all directions. I did manage to sleep though and occasionally woken up, but if your a light sleeper/ have trouble sleeping in general you might want to pick a quieter spot.

The guest house has all you need, towels, hair dryer and has a kitchen where you can use the stuff and provide different types of coffee which was nice. The staff are very friendly and this nice man called Conrad has a lot of information about Cracow which supported us in planning for things to do.

There were no major issues that would in any way go against the hotel and I would still highly recommend it! It should be stated clearly, there's no elevator. I realized it only when we arrived at the hotel, but it is mentioned in the hotel description. The beds could be maybe a little bit comfier and the TV was missing from our room, but as we brought our own laptop, it was not really a big deal. I'm also sure, if we've mentioned it to the owner, he would do his best to get something organised, so I wouldn't hold it against him. The internet connection is currently undergoing modernisation and at the time of our visit it was a bit patchy. This made our working remotely from Krakow a little bit harder but we've managed. I've mentioned these few shortcomings, just so everyone knows what to expect. Despite all of them I would still stay in this hotel again.

The hotel is located in a genuine old building in the old town. For this very reason the property has a lot of character typical for the period it was built in. A huge bonus was the modern bathroom with great water pressure in the shower. There are 2 kitchens (located in the common areas) which are very well equipped with the oven, the microwave, plates, cutlery, coffee makers etc. The owner is extremely helpful and accommodating. He's a very pleasant man who's willing to meet his guests' needs, whenever he can. The location itself is superb. We could see the old town market from our window. There are many lovely restaurants in the area, a mini supermarket literally across the street and it's about 2 minutes walking distance from the tram stop. It's also within walking distance from Galeria Krakowska if you're looking for a bit of retail therapy which is also a location of the main railway station. The place is really clean and even though the towels were not changed daily, you could get the fresh ones on demand with no extra charge and cleaning staff was very pleasant and helpful. A lot of people complained about the noise from the street. Well, to be fair, it was a bit noisy until about midnight. Then it was usually going quiet. There were few minor issues, but I would still consider this hotel as excellent, when you take into account the location and the price.

No wifi in the room, only in the kitchen. Not really good choice for families with kids, windows look at very noisy and crowded street with pubs and clubs, that are opened all night long. Not possible to sleep well and not possible to close window (too high ceiling about 3,2m)

Great location in the city center, check -in / check -out any time !

Noisy Main Street below. But earplugs resolved that

Everything especially location to centre of old town

The location was great.

Stayed in August 2023

Noisy at night and the bed was really uncomfortable, kind of broken mattress

Location is great for one side, you can walk everywhere and find yourself nearby your room if you need anything. On the other side, it's located in the busiest street for clubs and nightlight of Krakow, you'll find drunk people in the morning nearby and you'll hear them all night if you get a room like mine, facing the street. Price is good for what it offers though
