to get started.

Very luxurious and stylish. Lovely spa and small swimming pool in cellars. Excellent breakfast. Just off main square of old town so very central. Short walk from train station.

Louise, United Kingdom

Great location!!! Friendly professional staff! Great accommodations! Great roof bar and views! Can't beat the location!!! Great to have the Valet parking! Looking forward to going back!

John, United States of America

Hotel Stary is an oasis in a bustling European city. The decor and ambience are second to none. The design and construction are perfectly conceived and executed. The spa facility is like entering another world. I will DEFINITELY return.

Eric, United States of America

The spa and pool were outstanding. Beautiful, relaxing and peaceful. The room was spacious and comfortable. All public areas were attractive and service was excellent.. The Sky Bar was also a plus.

Mary, United States of America

Front desk staff. Wine service. Pool. Location. Rooftop bar.

Opuskoz, United States of America

I traveled with my 18 year old son so we requested two twin beds. The hotel beds were comfy, not fluffy or extravagant with down bedding or high-count thread sheets, but it was old-world minimalist comfy! The AC was an older unit and a lil’ noisy, but after our tours we had no problem sleeping. Most importantly, it kept the large room at 19 degrees Celsius! They had the most beautiful pool if you needed to soak. This hotel was fantastic and the service and location were amazing! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our “American requests.” In Europe there are five-star ratings and although they are very nice they’re not Ritz Carlton five-star. I am very picky and this old world hotel provided an authentic experience and I would definitely recommend it to my fellow Americans! Poland was a magical place for us and the surrounding center was so lively, but the hotel is quiet and peaceful.

Ramona, United States of America

Just a great all around hotel in the heart of Krakow. Although liked staying in other parts of the city, it is nice to spend a night or two right on the square in this beautiful hotel. Hotel Stary did an exceptional job!

Michael, United States of America

Beautiful hotel in excellent location in Old Town. Large comfortable room with great bathroom and shower. Very helpful and efficient front desk staff who consistently tried to please (and succeeded). One delight of visiting European cities is staying at hotels such as Hotel Stary.

Duncan, Canada

The only positive thing I could state about this hotel is that it was convenient to the City Square, otherwise, it was not comfortable and the food was terrible.

Joan, United States of America

Service was excellent food fantastic Service even better
