Aparthotel Grodzka 21

Nice small hotel in the very center of Krakow. Restaurants and Café nearby. Public transport just around the corner. Market place 3 min to walk. Street nois in the morning 6am.

Beautiful little single room on the 3rd floor. Had everything I needed, and air-conditioning and fridge were a huge plus. Check-in was easy at Santi Hotel round the corner, and the lovely staff's English was a million times better than my Polish! Reception is also manned 24/7 (unlike mentioned on some booking sites). I'd emailed a few days in advance as I knew I'd arrive after 10pm but was reassured quickly that I wouldn't be sleeping on a street! Breakfast at the hotel was a good starter to the day but I'm not much of a breakfast eater and felt a bit poorly the one day I did try it so didn't really get the full benefit. Looked like a good buffet selection and a small select menu. Could hear the clip-clopping of the horses down the street at night and the very loud rumble of trams, but I'm used to noise at night where I live so easily zoned out. I did spot earplugs in the room for those that might need. Ample plug sockets in the room for the usual charger needs. Towels, soap and loo roll provided so this saves when packing light too. The only downside was the lack of lift, but I knew this when I booked and only had a single rucksack to carry - what I underestimated was how much walking I'd be doing during my 4 day stay (52km!) and by day 2 I was grateful for the chairs inbetween flights of stairs Overall, it is a lovely central place to stay if you don't mind a little bit of noise at night and can cope with stairs after a long day walking around.

I didn’t expect a cozy single bedroom with elegant decorations and homely decor. But this is exactly what I got! My room was located on the top floor of the building and had a cute little window that opened to the Grodzka Street; I could hear horse carriages and pedestrians outside. There was some noise coming from there but the room has a set of earplugs ready to be used (I discovered them by accident and didn’t use them, because I brought my own). The bathroom wasn’t spacey but it was big enough and a hot shower was a welcome evening addition to the stay. The room service needs to be booked on demand and I didn’t use it at all. It felt like living in a dreamy fairytale room in the attic.
