Hotel Atrium is a charming, well-loved three-star hotel tucked away in the heart of Kraków, offering a perfect blend of modern comfort and classic Polish hospitality. Since its opening at the turn of the millennium, it has become a go-to spot for travelers who value being right in the center of the action without sacrificing a peaceful night’s rest.
One of the hotel’s most delightful features is its breakfast room, which is tucked under a beautiful glass roof, allowing you to enjoy your morning meal bathed in natural light. The property also places a strong emphasis on guest wellness and flexibility, offering an on-site massage service and various room types, including apartments with kitchenettes—a massive bonus for families or those planning a longer stay in the city.
The location is truly unbeatable for history buffs. You are just a short, five-minute stroll from the iconic St. Florian’s Gate and the medieval Barbican, which are part of the city’s best-preserved defensive walls. A quick walk further brings you to the vibrant Main Market Square and the historic Royal Route, putting the very best of Kraków’s UNESCO-listed Old Town right at your doorstep.
If you enjoy local culture, you are also very close to Stary Kleparz, an incredible traditional marketplace that has been running for over 600 years. It’s the perfect place to grab fresh regional produce or a snack before heading out to explore the nearby Planty Park, the lush green belt that encircles the entire Old Town.
Expert reviews
“This neat hotel has a less-than-fashionable location, being just outside the green girdle of the Planty. However, it is still quite near the Main Square—a mere five-minute walk away—and the train station.”
“Atrium is perfectly comfortable and set in a quiet location north of the Old Town near Kleparz market. The neat rooms and restaurant exude light and space, all equipped with modern furnishings and ably manned by a polite staff.”

Brilliant hotel, would stay again.
Rooms were lovely and clean, we had a three person room and it was cleaned every day. We had plenty of space for 3 of us. The fridge didnt work but that didnt impact our stay. We couldnt park at the hotel but alternative parking was offered a very short walk away Breakfast was typical continental with a great choice and was always refilled when needed.
Parking charges could have been clearer.

The hotel is very good value and possibly a bit better than the official, 3 star, rating. The breakfast is excellent, also.
It was a bit chilly inside, even though the radiator was on. The air condition unit is not equipped with heating module, so you cannot help yourself with it.

Excellent stay.
So close to everywhere, whichever way you walk you’ll find one of the main attraction points. Close to tram station, main city centre,shopping centre, theatre etc. Amazing breakfast, very clean room. We went when it was -10 and the rooms were so nice and warm. Lovey ladies on reception. Got some freebies like champagne. Room cleaned daily to perfection. Will be staying again
The breakfast didn’t change much even though in the description it said it would. We stayed for 5 days and the only change was some orzo rice addition and tuna salad. Shower water temperature was very sensitive, if you tuned the knob by a tiny bit it would be scolding hot or freezing cold, hard to find nice temperature.

Very friendly welcome and staff generally, all staff couldn't do enough for you, really good service. This hotel is in a great location, just 10/15 mins walk from the train station and easy walking to all of the main attractions in Krakow. Our room was a good size and well equipped with all that we needed for a four night stay. Plenty of choice at breakfast and a good selection on the main food menu.
Room could have been cleaner (but I am being hyper critical here).

Spotless, friendly staff and great walking location!
On arrival the lady on reception (Pauline/Paulina) was absolutely lovely. So informative and helped us a lot over the weekend with any questions we had. The rooms were spotless. Cosy and the hotel was in a great location for walking around the city. All staff very friendly and helpful.
The breakfast just wasn't to our personal taste. Not a criticism of the hotel as food looked lovely and lots of choice but we were happy with a coffee/apple juice and some toast & eggs! However, the "breakfast bag" we had early to go on our excursion was fabulous! Really enjoyed and kept us full. So thankyou ☺️

Staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome - I would definitely recommend.
Really welcoming and helpful staff, great location and the room had everything we needed in terms of facilities.
During busy breakfast periods, it would have been helpful if the tables could have been wiped between guests leaving/arriving.

Lovely, central hotel and great value for money!
Super central and a lovely hotel to rest your head. The bed was comfy, the room was clean and the staff were helpful. It’s very close to the square (about 10 min walk) and also within walking distance to the Jewish quarter too. We were able to keep our bags in the property on our last day so we could explore before going to the airport.
The only minor inconvenience was the shower. It went from scalding to cold to scalding again with short breaks in between where the water was able to be used.

Quiet and tucked away within walking distance of all the sights.
Tucked away in a nice quiet part within 10-20 mins walking distance to everything you need. Close to railway station when coming from the airport. Lovely warm and spotlessly clean room. So quiet, I didn’t hear a thing all night! Super friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful little bar and restaurant with fantastic food and excellent service. A great little find. Great value for money and Highly recommended.

Very clean and peaceful and room was warm (even it was cold outside). Housekeeping staff were very friendly. Garden in the breakfast room was beautiful. Location was very good.
One of the receptionists was using headphones once while working and it was daytime. Its not a big deal, but for us felt a bit weird. (At night time when there are not so many customers its totaly understandable for examble).
