Hotel Pod Różą, Kraków
Expert reviews
“Housed in a 14th-century building on the fashionable Floriańska shopping street, the hotel has spacious, high-ceiling guests rooms with parquet floors and Biedermeier–style furnishings; a first-class Italian restaurant; and a 15th-century wine cellar.”
“Franz Liszt, Tsar Alexander I and Honoré de Balzac have all passed through this grand doorway on Floriańska. Ornaments and textiles embellish the sense of history and grandeur.”
“Dating back to the 17th century, this is the oldest hotel in Kraków. It’s well located, just off the Market Square. It has been beautifully renovated and now houses 57 rooms with frescoed walls, antique furniture and parquetry flooring. Dining options include Amarone, a popular Italian restaurant.”

Beautiful hotel
Really beautiful hotel in absolute city centre. The design of hotel was very elegant and stylish. Spa was absolutely amazing and also hotel staff was nice.
Bathroom looking amazing, but it had small leakage issue, even bathtub. For 5 star hotel it could be more personalized hotel and more welcoming, it would make more luxurious feel. But overall stay was really beautiful.

An enjoyable stay in the heart of the city.
Big room, excellently furnished.
A self-service element would have speeded up breakfast service.

Worth it just for the wellness area!
Beautiful old hotel. I used the amazing wellness area downstairs every night, there was rarely anyone else in there. So relaxing and worth staying here just for that! Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely complimentary L’Occitane toiletries. Mini bar was awesome.
Very noisy street at night - especially on the Florianska side so I ended up moving rooms to the Tomasza side.

Perfect location in a special hotel
The location could not be better. The hotel is nice and clean. Amazing special spa. The parking arrangements were very easy and comfortable. The staff was very helpful.
Breakfast is a very special but extremely poor selection for vegetarian guests. The gym is very small and not equipped enough. No tea/coffee in the room- this is very disappointing in such a high-level hotel (it should be a very basic thing).

perfect 👌
Having recently stayed at Hotel Pod Roza, I can confidently say it was one of the most memorable hotel experiences I’ve ever had. As Krakow’s oldest hotel, Pod Roza offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern luxury that is simply unmatched. The elegant, classicistic interiors, combined with the warm and welcoming atmosphere, create a truly unforgettable ambiance. Spacious Accommodations and World-Class Amenities The rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed, with comfortable beds and modern amenities. The bathrooms are particularly impressive, featuring high-quality fixtures and luxurious toiletries. One of the highlights of my stay was the spa. As a guest, I had complimentary access to the spa facilities, which include a Finnish sauna, a steam room, and heated stone loungers with soothing massage jets. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the city. The hotel's restaurant is a Michelin-starred establishment, offering a truly exquisite dining experience. The breakfast buffet was particularly impressive, featuring a wide variety of both local and international dishes. Unparalleled Location Situated in the heart of Krakow’s Old Town, the hotel is just steps away from the main market square and other major attractions. This central location makes it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. Exceptional Service The staff at Hotel Pod Roza were exceptional. They were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was perfect. If you're looking for a truly unforgettable hotel experience in Krakow, I highly recommend Hotel Pod Roza. With its rich history, luxurious amenities, and prime location, it's the perfect place!

A comfortable hotel in a great location.
Brilliant location. Lovely spa. Very comfortable room with heated floor in the bathroom. Staff all very helpful.
Noise from a party one night until 2.00am. Bass noise quite audible in our second floor room which kept us awake. Breakfast not to our liking and expensive. A buffet would have been nicer. Accept that is personal preference. Children in the spa area running around. There is no pool. It’s not really a place for children.

Very pleased with the hotel
Excellent location right in the heart of the old town. With attractions, shops, and cafes right on the doorstep, I couldn’t have picked a better hotel as a tourist. The spa/sauna was also a lovely extra after a long day on the cobbles, and was very quiet and relaxing. The rooms were a good size and clean with my only negative being with my room being at the front of the hotel, and double windowed, it was quite nosy at night.
Friendly staff, great location, lovely spa, and good price.

Beautiful hotel in FANTASTIC location
The location was FANTASTIC - only a couple minutess walk from old town square. The Spa was also a wonderful and unique experience, albeit small. Staff were very friendly and rooms were nice and clean.
We never ate or drank at the hotel. The restaurant appeared pricey in comparison to lots of nice restaurants nearby, with little ambience.

Friendly staff, central location on one of Krakow's most famous streets. Spa and massage facilities both excellent and great value.
Only complaint was there was a tear in the bed sheet and the ladies robe had a hole at the shoulder. I am positive had we mentioned this to the staff they would have remedied this and replaced with new ones

Wonderful hotel.
Spotless, clean, convenient, and very friendly. The breakfasts were fabulous, everyday a surprise. The decor was an eclectic mix of art deco, beautiful.
The beds were sleigh beds, and the pillows kept disappearing down the back, and it was very cold in the room at night because the air-conditioning kept defaulting to just 21 degrees. The sauna was very difficult to use for me as I have trouble bending down and need handrails, etc. We were also surprised that there was no tea/coffee making facility in the rooms. Otherwise, the hotel was perfect.

If you’re looking for perfection then that’s your place
Absolutely stunning experience! The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality, making every moment feel special. The food was a true delight, bursting with flavors. The SPA area was pure bliss—tranquil, beautifully designed, and a perfect escape. Plus, every corner of the hotel was filled with the most delightful and refreshing scents, adding to the overall ambiance. Highly recommended!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming hotel located right in the heart of the old town in Krakow, and it was an unforgettable experience! The location is perfect for exploring the beautiful streets and historical sites, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing. One of the highlights of my stay was the excellent spa situated in an ancient basement. The atmosphere was serene and inviting, offering a unique blend of history and relaxation. The treatments were top-notch, allowing me to unwind after a day of exploring. Additionally, I was impressed by the quality of the toiletries provided. The shampoos and shower gels were exceptional, adding a touch of luxury to my daily routine. Overall, this hotel combines a fantastic location with wonderful amenities, making it a perfect choice for anyone visiting Krakow.

We recently returned from our second stay at this amazing hotel. We were so pleasantly surprised when the lovely lady at the reception remembered us from our previous visit. We adore everything about this place—the perfect location, beautiful decor, and warm atmosphere. And the spa is absolutely fantastic! We can’t recommend this hotel enough and are already looking forward to our next visit!

10s across the board
Everything was amazing, the staff were lovely, the location was excellent, tried their restaurant for lunch and dinner and it was delightful and treated myself to a massage and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. We also got an early check-in and a room upgrade which we were very thankful for.

Quite simply my favourite hotel now!
Old yet stylish, contemporary, chic and calm. An unobtrusive entrance off a street close to the main square, revealed a calm oasis within!!!! I absolutely loved this place. Amazing helpful, friendly staff, incredible food and a small but stunning and cleverly designed spa in the vaulted basement. Perfect location for everything you would want to do in and around Krakow.
Nothing, it was all great.

Luxurious hotel in the center of Krakow, with friendly staff, great accommodations and a relaxing spa. Would definitely recommend for someone looking for a relaxing stay in a perfect location. Beds are very comfy and rooms are quiet despite being right next to some busy bars at night.
