Best Western Plus Krakow Old Town

Myself and some friends stayed in this establishment mid February whilst we visited Kraków for one member of our party’s birthday. Having never been to Kraków nor Poland before all we desired was to have a nice hotel close to the centre. The location is pretty much bang on. It’s around 5 minutes walk if that to the central square (10/15 if your staggering) and around 20 from the train station, though we had stopped in a boozer on the way and was already fairly scaly wagged by the time we’d checked in so I may need correcting. None the less it’s a prime spot. The staff were all very polite and helpful as far as directions and recommendations, the few we spoke to commanded the English language very well. Now the room I must admit is somewhat small and basic, granted if it was a one night stay I wouldn’t have been fussed but it was rather cramped due to the friend who was also staying that room being a fairly big bloke. The single beds are also quite small and the duvet is wrapped that tightly under the mattress one would need 2 Crow bars, Mark Henry and a length of pipe as leverage to try get it out. Had I been Rey Mysterio I wouldn’t have been too fussed but unfortunately I am 6’1 and my feet being off the end of the mattress isn’t my idea of a good kip. The breakfast is fairly bogo. I myself didn’t mind it however the rest of the party wasn’t too keen. Whether that’s me eating like a pig or them being fussy I’m not too sure but hey ho. One thing which isn’t necessarily the hotels fault is that the walls are kinda thin and there seemed to be a few lads coming and going pretty hammered at all times at night very loudly. At one point I unfortunately witnessed an Asian looking fellow running through the corridor not even in his skivvies. Whether this was dealt with accordingly I don’t know but even to me in my state at that particular moment it was a bit odd. None the less it wasn’t a bad stay, you get what you pay much like a wwe ppv so one can’t complain and like a wwe ppv if I have to I’d probably go back. less

The location of this hotel is what makes it excellent. It is a 5 minute walk to the centre of the old town where a lot of the main sites are as well as best restaurants. The breakfast on offer was very good and thorough. The rooms were very clean and modern as well as the rest of the hotel. For the most part, the hotel staff were helpful and pleasant. The rooms are very small, I paid extra for a premium room. I dread to think how small the non-premium rooms were. The bar in the hotel is small and not very nice, not to mention not even staffed. The transfer rate to the airport is something to be avoided, as Uber is half the price. less

Just a few minutes' walk to the enormous town square, including shops, restaurants, and horse-and-carriage rides. Twenty paces to a grocery store, too. About 18-minute walk from Krakow Glowny train station, but there are cheap streetcars (trams) nearby. On my second night, a group of drunk seniors carried on loudly in the hall right outside my room, but overall my experience there was good. The buffet's seating is widely-spaced apart, which is great for germaphobes like me in a coronavirus time. less

Our room ( 313) was excellent. Clean with a superb bathroom. The front desk staff were super-helpful. The Buffet Breakfast was plentiful and varied and thankfully did not feature grease-submerged bacon as is a feature of so many breakfast buffets. Could not have been better. less
