PURO Kraków Stare Miasto is a contemporary hotel that perfectly balances modern minimalism with the historic charm of Poland’s ancient capital. Originally opened in 2013 and later refreshed by the local Paradowski Studio, the hotel’s design emphasizes natural materials like oak, stone, and glass, creating a bright, sophisticated retreat.
One of the property’s most striking features is its bold aesthetic, which blends mid-century influences with clean, contemporary details. Guests are greeted by a spacious, art-filled lobby that highlights works by local Polish artists, making the space feel like a living gallery. The rooms are equally high-tech, featuring tablet-controlled amenities, soundproof windows, and glass-walled bathrooms that give the interiors an airy, spacious feel.
For those who love to explore, the location is unbeatable. Situated right in the city center, you are just a short walk from the iconic medieval Barbican and the preserved defensive walls of the Old Town. A quick stroll will lead you directly to the Rynek Główny, Europe’s largest medieval market square, where you can admire the famous Cloth Hall and St. Mary’s Basilica.
The hotel also serves as a social hub. Its on-site restaurant, *Hint*, offers a lively atmosphere for dining and cocktails, often hosting events like bartending shows. Whether you are hunting for fresh produce at the nearby markets or heading toward the majestic Wawel Castle, the hotel provides a calm, stylish sanctuary to return to after a busy day of sightseeing.

Nice room. Comfortable bed. Delicious breakfast
1. I thought I had bought a ticket with breakfast, but it turned out to be without. I bought breakfast. But at check-in, the receptionist said the cost of breakfast was 85 zlotys, and when I paid, they gave me a check of 90 zlotys. It's like a trifle, but not very pleasant. 2. The hood in the bathroom worked all night. I couldn't find a way to turn it off.

Everything was perfect !
For me, everything was perfect. The room and the hotel were very clean. I have only words of praise for everything. Excellent location, close to the train station and close to the city center. Friendly staff. I asked for a quiet room, and it really was quiet. I slept excellently the bed and pillow were very comfortable. I also enjoyed the restaurant food. Great service through room service as well. I will definitely choose this hotel again.

Perfect location for a city break in Kracow
The location is excellent- 10 minutes on foot to the old town and right opposite the train station where you can travel to the airport, the salt mines and Auschwitz memorial. Lovely staff and very comfortable room. The bed was extremely comfortable. Excellent breakfast too.

Amazing hotel in Krakow
I cannot praise more this hotel. Design, facilities, comfort - everything was on the highest level. The staff was super attentive; special thanks to Alexandra who supported us on the day of checking out. Hotel provides 24 hours hot drinks of the choice on free of charge basis, which was amazing. The beds were super comfortable and we found a note telling that we can request harder or softer pillows according to our liking. We will definitely come again!
We would suggest that the restaurant provides a choice of soups rather than offering the same type of soup every day.

Bathroom is bit small but all was fit in nicely except - handers for bath towels.

We loved our stay at PURO
We love the overall vibe of the hotel and the location was so good to explore the city on foot. Highlight was the big window in our room with beautiful city views. The hotel was very clean. The room had a smart TV so we could Chromecast our content. We could also easily adjust our room and washroom temperature from the tab which was convenient.
There was nothing to dislike in particular.

Comfortable stay at extremely convenient location
Friendly staff, free coffee in lounge, central location while room still being quiet.
The automatic light in the bathrooms does drive me somewhat mad, but it's almost a hallmark of this place, so I am willing to accept it :-) Room was quite small (but well designed, so not really a problem)

Did not have breakfast.I chose the hotel because it was close to the train station. But old city is still very close. I had very good rest after a long journey the bed was perfect.
Really everything was perfect.

I will definitely return to Puro Hotels. However, from what I’ve heard, the Kazimierz location tends to receive better r
I really liked the location, as it’s close to the Old Town. However, I was disappointed with the view from the window — there was nothing to look at. Considering I paid for a suite, it was quite underwhelming that my otherwise beautiful room overlooked a shopping mall parking lot.
I’ve always really enjoyed staying at the Puro Hotel chain. I’ve stayed at Puro in Łódź more than five times, and perhaps that’s why I feel a bit less enthusiastic about Puro Stare Miasto — in comparison, it simply doesn’t feel quite as impressive as it might have otherwise. At Puro Łódź, the breakfasts are absolutely outstanding — truly among the best I’ve ever had at any hotel — and the same goes for the restaurant. In Kraków, however, the food felt rather average, with a limited selection, which was a bit disappointing.

Highly recommend
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it! From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything I needed—they really made me feel at home. The room was excellent: spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything I could possibly need for a comfortable stay. It was clear that a lot of care goes into ensuring guests have a great experience. Breakfast was another highlight - delicious, fresh, and with a great variety to choose from, making it the perfect start to each day. Overall, a wonderful experience. I would definitely stay here again!
Nothing - all great

Strongly reccomend. Maybe a bit more expensive, but if you can afford - perfect option.
The location is excellent for visiting Kraków without a car—there is no need to use taxis or public transport. The room was clean and cozy, and the bathroom was in perfect condition. The view was slightly different from the photos on Booking.com, as it overlooked a shopping center; however, since the room was on the top floor, we could also see the Old Town in the distance. The breakfast was very good, and the early bird breakfast option was excellent and much appreciated. We were also pleasantly surprised by a complimentary excursion organized by the hotel, which was a wonderful addition to our stay.
Absolutely no complains.
