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 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!

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.

The hotel's location is suburb! We stayed in one of the larger room on the quieter side, and everything was excellent.The staff couldn't been nicer and more accommodating.
For longer stay ( in our case 2.5 weeks) big and beautiful bathrooms they were lacking some practicality like shelves or hangers.

Very good hotel on the edge of the main square
Great hotel right on the edge of the main square, perfectly situated. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Spa facilities in the basement are very quirky. Lots of differing showers and plunge pools with a steam room and a sauna. Very dark and relaxing down there. Robes and slippers are in the wardrobe, towels are provided. They do offer massages etc but we didn't take up their offer, too busy. Breakfast was plentiful and varied.

Amazing
If you are at the Starbucks across the street you tend to miss this hotel. But don’t get fooled, it’s just the perfect cover for this amazing, quiet, 5 star hotel. It’s just under 2 minutes from the main square and it’s a perfect mixt of old and new. The rooms are extremely big and the l’Occitane products and the nonstop receptionist are just a big plus.
The bed cover was a bit dusty

If you want to be in the action then this is the place.
Property was right in the old town and the public areas were done up very nicely. The place was well kept and clean.
There were no coffee or tea facilities in your room. We asked and they told us it was only for the more expensive room rate ! The rooms had dark furniture and quite sparse. Not very inviting.

Highly recommended hotel in the absolute center and lot of charm
Hotel has a lot of character and is extremely well renovated in respect to the history of the building! Very clean and I very much appreciated the minimalist style! Excellent breakfast and spotless service. Spa is something I have never seen before, unique and so beautiful. Room was big and lovely bathrooms with amazing walk in shower. Location could not be better either!
If I were to be difficult I could say the towels were a bit used and I was missing the kettle in the room but it was quickly sorted when I asked the reception. There was nothing I can say I didn’t like!

This was perfection 🤩🤩
I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. We arrived quite late to Florianska Street which is very touristy and always seems to be packed. I was a little anxious but then we stepped into the beautiful calm oasis of the Hotel Pod Różą. The welcome we were given was so charming that it set the tone for our whole trip. The rooms are lovely. There is everything you need and they are full of things you didn’t even know you needed! They are quite austerely furnished in dark woods in a rather masculine style. No fancy frilly cushions you don’t know what to do with but clean lines, very functional and rather beautiful as well. We were staying in single rooms on the 3rd floor and the beds and furniture are Biedermeier style and very comfortable. The beds seemed a lot bigger than regular single beds. We all remarked on it. The air-conditioning works perfectly which was a boon in 31° heat. The rooms have parquet flooring, high ceilings and are really well lit. I have a sight problem and I dread staying in hotels because they usually have ‘atmospheric’ lighting and are so dimly lit that I find it hard. I usually take extra lighting with me but no need this time because the lighting is perfect. You can have it as dim or as bright as you want. I did not use the spa because the lighting is so low and it makes it a hazard for me but my companions did and liked it, saying it was small but very nice. The breakfast is really good. Simply don’t recognise the few negative comments I read in other reviews which had worried me a bit. First you get a tray of ‘appetisers’ and home baked bread. There are things like tapenade, mortadella ham and cheese, yoghurt with granola, houmos, tomatoes sprinkled with chives, herring with onions, tartare of salmon and then you can choose one hot item from the menu: everything from Polish sausage, Eggs Benedict to a delicious mushroom & Gruyère omelette or bacon and eggs with caramelised onions.
There is genuinely nothing. I just can’t fault it.
