We love the location and the staff
The front desk staff is very welcoming and helpful.
The rollaway bed need updating, we received a defective one, which was promptly exchanged for a different one, and although it did its job for two night, it probably on its last few nights.

Excellent staying in Krakow
Its location was superb at room no 33 having a direct view to the historical square, buildings...with its wooden good quality furniture of the room. The staff was very helpful and kind, we have been even provided with lunch boxes as we should leave very early the hotel without taking the breakfast to visit the Salt Mine. Moreover, the breakfast was also nice.

Stunning hotel on the square, great quality and would highly recommend staying here when in Krakow
The Wentzl is in the most perfect location in the heart of the square and it was so good having a morning coffee watching the hustle and bustle build up each day. The rooms are spacious and well equipped with everything that’s needed.

Exceptional hotel
Exceptional hotel!!! We got the room on 4th floor with a view on the main square and could literally people watch, as well as, enjoy the beauty of the square right from our balcony. The staff were pleasant. The room and the hotel have very good ambience, and even though it’s a historical building, it was very nicely renovated. The room is large, with nice furnishing, has tea, coffee, soda drinks, refrigerator, safe, etc. We didn’t get to experience the breakfast since there is ton of options just a few steps away. There is market on the square (literally downstairs of the hotel) selling souvenirs and variety of food, quick bites, as well as fancy sit down restaurants. Horse drawn carriage goes around the square. We only booked hotel for 1 night, but if I knew how amazing the hotel and the location, we would’ve stayed longer.

Krakow city break
The location was fantastic overlooking the square. The breakfast was superb, again with an option to overlook the square whilst eating. It was very quiet. It was very clean, the bedding and towels were very good quality and the bathrobe was a bonus, as was the Nespresso machine. Also nice to get fresh milk rather than pods or sachets and bottled water daily. The staff were very friendly.
Nothing really.
