This hotel is on the other side of the main road that surrounds the old town, so getting into the old town or to Wawel castle is within easy walking distance. The old town is easy to navigate and quite pedestrian friendly. Our room was on the ground floor of the hotel away from the street, so it was quiet, even with the door open. We had a tiny patio with a small table and 2 chairs surrounded by ivy walls. The patio door could be opened by turning the handle horizontally, and turning it up allowed the door to lean in, basically opening a large window. This was nice since the room did not have air conditioning, so we left it open during the night to have some fresh air. It was quite hot while we were there, so sleeping was not quite as comfortable as we might have liked, but it was OK. The breakfast at the hotel was excellent, with a wide variety of cold meats, cheeses, vegetable, pickles, juices, fruit and other items. Each day there was a different hot item that was offered and they bring you coffee (white or black) or tea. They have 3 small tables outside that get busy if the weather is nice, but the inside of the breakfast area is air-conditioned is it’s too hot outside. I would imagine that the hotel would be very nice if it was chilly outside since they have nice quilts on the bed and a towel warmer in the bathroom. As it was, we left the heat off for the entire stay. I would definitely come back here in cooler months, but might look elsewhere in hotter months.
