I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The top-floor room was stunning, featuring modern decor and a massive circular bed, plus the unbelievable perk of a private jacuzzi with a breathtaking view of the royal palace. The central location couldn't be better, just a short stroll from the Old Town and Wawel Castle. While the dining options were delicious, I felt there could've been a bit more variety at breakfast. Overall, great value for money!

I had a delightful stay in a hotel that boasts a striking historical charm dating back to 1688, complete with a fantastic bar setup in the room featuring high-quality complimentary whiskey and vodka. The location is tranquil, just a short walk to the main attractions like the Wawel Castle and Old Town. While I found the service to be extremely professional and helpful, the dining options were a bit limited and could use some improvement in speed and variety. Overall, it felt like a great value for such a unique experience.
