Good hotels in Krakow, Poland: a lodging guide.
Krakow’s hotels fall into every
category and every price bracket. At the high end of the market
one may choose between the five-star cosmopolitan premises of
well-known international chains on the one hand and posh hotels in
the city’s Old Town
historic center on the other. All offer excellent
service, and the former top it with abundant parking space for
motorists and ample
conference facilities for
business visitors
as well as such amenities as indoor swimming pools; while the latter grant the easiest access to
Krakow’s attractions and unforgettable ambience.
Actually, many a Krakow hotel in the Old Town area, also inexpensive
ones, operate in buildings of considerable historical and/or
architectural value, some of which were once aristocratic palaces. And a few
hotels in Krakow
pride themselves on their centuries-old hotelier traditions.
The total number of Krakow hotels hovers
around 150 mark though with an average of 70 rooms per establishment
most are quite small.
Krakow's new hotels.
In recent years new hotel facilities in Krakow opened almost by the
month, in that number operations of established international
brands. Also converting
old tenement buildings into cozy hotels in Krakow's historic center
is increasingly popular enterprise among local businessmen. At the
same time existing Krakow hotels keep on upgrading fast.
Quality hotels in Krakow.
Poland’s
hotels are rated with stars, from one-star lodgings (cheap)
to five-star accommodations (the highest standard). In order to get
its due of stars every establishment should meet criteria specified
for each class. Yet the Polish hotel categories don’t necessary fit
those in your country, e.g. some five-star Krakow hotels can boast
indoor swimming pools and some lack that luxury. At the same
time there are
guest houses or hostels that advertise themselves as hotels although
they haven't been licensed as such and don't comply with Poland's
hotel standards and requirements.
Well-know international hotel chains keep their Krakow operations up
to the mark, no matter if they run the establishments directly or
entrust the job to Polish franchise holders. At the same time local
hoteliers in Krakow often best the competition.
Krakow’s hotel rates.
Prices of fairly comfortable double rooms start in the Krakow hotels
at an equivalent of about fifty euro per night. Mid-range
double-room rates range from 70 euro to 100 euro. The top upmarket
hotels in Krakow charge up to 350 euro for a double room.
Substantial off-season markdowns are the norm.
Booking a hotel room in Krakow.
Hotel rooms in Krakow total nearly 11,000 which isn't very many given
the multitudes visiting the city every year. So it’s important to book
hotel in Krakow possibly early, notably when one is
looking for lodging in the high season or on major holidays. It’s
advisable to make a reservation either directly or through a
competent
travel agency. There are also numerous independent online
booking operations but some provide services of dubious quality, for
instance overbooking in the high season.
