Expert reviews
“Hidden away from the noise in a cozy cul-de-sac next to the Planty Park and the Dominican convent, this boutique hotel is certainly one of Kraków’s finest. Each of the plush and tasteful rooms is furnished in a different style (you can check them out on the website), such as the Chinese room (No. 309).”
“The medieval clay pots, figures, and tiles unearthed with the hotel conversion in 2004 are on display in the restaurant downstairs, where a superior breakfast is served until mid-morning.”
“This boutique hotel, which dates back to the 11th century, is located in a tranquil cul-de-sac within Kraków’s old town. It is home to 23 antique-filled bedrooms, a cosy bar set within a library, a restaurant serving traditional Polish cuisine, and a rooftop terrace offering views over the city.”

Great stay with excellent breakfast and perfect location, but limited English from some staff.
I recently stayed at this hotel and had a great experience overall. Here are my thoughts: Breakfast: The breakfast was excellent, offering a variety of delicious options to start the day. The quality and selection exceeded my expectations. Location: The location is perfect, with easy access to nearby attractions, restaurants, and public transportation. It made exploring the area convenient and enjoyable. Room: The room was comfortable but a bit on the small side. While it had all the essentials, there was limited space to move around. Overall, I would recommend this hotel for its excellent breakfast, ideal location, and cozy, albeit compact, rooms.
One downside was that some of the staff spoke only very basic English. This occasionally made communication a bit challenging, especially when asking for specific information or assistance. It would be helpful if more staff members were fluent in English to make interactions smoother for international guests. Overall, though, the positives of my stay—great breakfast, perfect location, and cozy rooms—outweighed this minor inconvenience.

Breakfast choices were amazing! Location was the Greatest!!! We were able to easily walk to the Main Old Town and the tram line and tour bus pick-up were very close too!!
Sorry to say... the coffee from the coffee machine wasn't to our liking...

Lovely hotel in a quiet location
This is a lovely hotel. Oldy-worldly feel, as though you are staying in someone's home. The staff were all very helpful and spoke good English. There is a very light and airy restaurant downstairs offering a wide ranging selection of (tasty!) food for breakfast. The library/bar was cosy and a lovely place to have a quiet moment reading or a drink with friends. We were very happy staying at this hotel - a short walk from the main square but with the advantage of being extremely quiet at night. Nothing to complain about - we would happily return to this hotel.
There isn't anything that I can complain about or didn't like. We had a very enjoyable stay.

Excellent location, very handy for all the attractions. Take a right and you head up to the main square, take a left and it's 20 minutes to the Jewish quarter.

Excellent location in Krakow!
Excellent location! Loved walking the streets of Krakow. The room was beautiful and even better than I expected.
It was a bit difficult getting Ubers to come to the hotel. They would come to the street close by which was difficult leaving with suitcases in the rain.

A peaceful haven in the middle of the city
Such a lovely calm and quiet location yet so close to the old town. The staff were very helpful and always about, the secure parking suited us really well. The location meant we were just a few minutes from the square but east walking distance for the botanical gardens, Schindler’s factory museum, the river, castle and so on. We especially liked it for being beside the green space that surrounds the old town. Breakfasts were impressive to say the least.
There really was nothing to dislike!

Lovely characterful hotel in an excellent location.
The location is perfect - in a side street just off the main square. All staff were friendly and helpful, the room, although quite small, was clean and had everything you would need including nice toiletries, hairdryer, minibar and safe. The hotel has lots of character and breakfast was good with both hot and cold choices. If we visited Krakow again we would not hesitate to stay at this hotel.
Nothing comes to mind!

Great service, breakfast buffet, attention to detail and location. This is the hotel to stay at and provides a familial
I stayed with my girlfriend and we both loved the familial feel of the hotel. The provided exceptional attention to detail and the breakfast buffet kept us refreshed. The staff was very friendly as well. The location of the hotel is a 7 minute walk to main square where we got to try a lot of delicious meals. If we’re back in Krakow, we’ll definitely stay again.

Good hotel in an excellent location.
The location as hotel is only a six minute walk to the main market square and at the same time it is in a rather quite location facing the pancy (the park that goes round the old town).The property was converted with taste and our room was very comfortable. Breakfast was good and varied. Staff was very professional and helpful. We had a late night flight and were allowed to keep the room for an additional 300 Zloti. Although 300 Zloti is not cheap, we appreciated this gesture as it permitted us to enjoy our last day in krakow..
No real complaints. Just a comment and personal opinion. Although it is a very good and comfortable hotel, I would rate it as 4 Star and not 5 Star. A five Star rating is on the generous side. Moreover the little quaint downstairs bar and library could be made more use of possibly by offering complimentary tea, coffee and some cakes giving the guests a possibilty to socialise.

Beautiful and convenient property with very nice rooms and staff
This hotel is in the perfect location for visiting Krakow. On a quiet street but close enough to the market square that you can hear the trumpet in the morning. Breakfast was good and had an quiet restaurant and bar in the hotel. I would definitely stay there again.
Was a little expensive for Krakow and the AC was a little weak (but the windows opened and it was very hot when we were there.)

Very good
The photo exhibition in the breakfast area seems completely out of sync with the rest of the interior design. It is uninteresting and lacks any connection to Cracow, the hotel, and the overall decor.

Very nice hotel in a very central location. The room was wonderful: I loved the carpet, all the forniture was very nice, everything felt very cosy.
The only margin of improvement that I could find is is in the price: the could be a bit lower.

Old World Elegance & Luxury in Central Krakow
Luxurious hotel, well located in a quiet street of the old city area - short walk to the central market square and walking distance from main train/bus station. The breakfast was one of the best I've enjoyed on a month long holiday in Europe - delicious. Spacious, elegant room with a superbly comfortable bed. Helpful receptionist both before and during stay.
Nothing - this hotel is a 10/10 for me!

Best location to stay in classic interior with historical twist.
The location is just excellent to stay in the city centre of Krakow. You get all attractions in a 2-10 min. walk, yet the hotel itself is in a quiet dead end side street with no people around. Could you imagine that?)) The hotel room was really clean and well taken care of as well as public areas. The furniture style and room design are classic, but decent, made of good materials. There's a small wardrobe room for luggage, shoes and clothes - very convenient to have. Breakfast was good, however a bit overpriced for a given variety of choice.
The hotel is a good choice to stay in Krakow, nothing to claim about.

Nice hotel in a nice central location.
+ Great location within very easy walking distance to the Main Square. It is far enough away that you don't have any issues with the noise and crowds. + The beds are comfortable (albeit small) + The bathroom is large, very clean and had everything needed + The staff are almost unnoticeable - they are efficient and do their work in such a way that they felt invisible. + Breakfast is plentiful and very good.
- The beds are a bit small (although comfortable).

Good bed, good breakfast, great location.
Expensive, I would rate it with 4 stars perhaps, not 5. For 5 stars the service needs to be extraorfinary.

If I go to Krakow again, I would stay at this hotel with my friends again!!!
I loved everything about Hotel Grodek, except the shampoo and body wash. In fact, there was only 1 product for washing your body and hair. Such an amazing hotel with it's unique decoration, breakfast variety , location, cleanliness, deserves better bathroom products. And in addition, the guy at the reception at night shift was very helpfull. He prepared my breakfast bec. I had to leave the hotel early and opened the fireplaced room late at night So we could chat with the friends.
there was only 1 product for both washing your body and hair :(
