This hotel is located in a quiet residental area. Some shops around the hotel, so no warry for food; some small restaurnts, bakeries, a hamburger shop, ice creamshops, small shops for drinks and snacks and daily things. Also there is a market you can buy fresh fruits. Bus stop and trum stop are nearby. Wawel castle is in 20 mns walk.

The hotel is conveniently located by walking distance to old town about 20-25 minutes by walk and only 15 min to Wawel castle. The room is clean and staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is quiet, yet the neighborhood is not perfect. On the way walking to #179 or #304 bus station, it needs go under a turned which is dirty. They charge only 38 pln for breakfast, but I would rather pay 55 pln for a delicious one like I had in Warsaw. It is very simple breakfast, but coffee machine is awesome. The room is simple and not large. Overall I like the hotel for: 1. Location. 2. Price. 3. Friendly staff The hotel is more like bed and breakfast in US. It is like family owned. It has a beautiful backyard next to restaurant.

Όλα άψογα!

Η συνολική εμπειρία ήταν θετική. Το δωμάτιο μας άρεσε πάρα πολύ. Ήταν άνετο, καθαρό και πολύ ζεστό. Μείναμε πολύ ικανοποιημένοι και με την εξυπηρέτηση. Είναι κοντά στο κέντρο της πόλης σε μια πολύ καλή περιοχή. Κοντά έχει φαρμακείο, μίνι μάρκετ, φούρνο. Το συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα. Θα το ξαναπροτιμήσω σε επόμενο ταξίδι μου στην Κρακοβία.

Hotellin tilat siistit ja aamupala olivat hyvät, sekä palvelu hyvää. Hoitivat hotellin kautta myös kiertoajelujen liput jne. Itse hotellissa ei ole iltaisin mitään viihde -ohjelmaa ja keittiö meni kiinni klo20. Sopii hyvin lapsiperheille. Rauhallisen sivukadun varressa..!

We were very pleased.

The staff and the facilities were exceptional. Everyone was so very friendly and helpful; they made our stay enjoyable. The breakfast was very good also. The location is convenient to downtown Krakow. A friend recommended U Pana Cogito, and it was every bit as fine as she said. We highly recommend this pension to anyone.
