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.”

Very relaxed, comfortable helpful & friendly smiling staff. Showers are great!Service also!
Being one of the oldest hotel in town but very much modernised interior, staff very friendly and very helpful including especially the Male Receptionist on duty this afternoon 26/02/25 who went out of his way to run after us as we left our coat then continued to carry my old Mothers luggage and coat a 1000 yards to our Bolt transport, many thanks indeed, to him and all at Pod Roza.

The best hotel in Krakow!
Second time here and honestly our favourite hotel we’ve stayed in… the location, unique spa and the overall feel of the hotel are like nothing else. The staff went above and beyond to cater for my food allergies and were able to make our stay extra special with an upgrade as it was a late valentine’s getaway.
Nothing… just checking out at the end!

Luxurious hotel with quality extras.
Very spacious room and bathroom had both a shower which was fantastic and a bath. Showering products were of a very high standard. Spa was superb, sauna, steam room and cold bath, a real haven from the busy streets around the hotel.
Maybe a typical Friday night in any city but central location of hotel means lots of noise on street below.

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
