Hotels near Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow

Near the Krakow train station and bus station (that one can catch the buses to Auschwitz Concentration Camp) which can be accessed through the tunnel near the hotel. There are 2 Ibis brands side by side which you can go thru the door of one to get to the other hotel ( instead of going round the building).

A good sized and well located hotel, it’s just a short stroll from the main train station and a few minutes’ walk to the old town. Décor wise it feels quite dated, both in the reception area and the rooms, but everything was clean, tidy and in full working order. The room was just about an adequate size, we had requested a twin which came with one double bed and one single, and there was little or no room to the side of each bed with one being up against the wall and one against the windows. Two singles would have worked a little better perhaps. There was also a small sofa and a small round table. The beds were very comfy and our room was facing on to the internal courtyard so no noise from outside at all, although being adjacent to the lift we did get a bit of noise from that, but nothing too intrusive. The temperature in both the room and the rest of the hotel was far too warm, quite hot in fact. There was an air conditioning unit in the room, but using energy to both heat the room and then cool it seems ridiculous. The shower was on the small side, but hot and powerful. Other facilities included tea/coffee making facilities, complimentary bottles of water, TV and a safe. Breakfast was a help yourself buffet affair, with the only hot options being a frankfurter style sausage and scrambled egg. There was a good cold spread though, with meats, cheeses, tomato & mozzarella, hard boiled eggs and a few mixed up concoctions – presumably the Polish equivalents of coleslaw and potato salad, but whatever they were, they were quite pleasant, and also some cereals. What was very much lacking was any prepared fruit (just a few whole apples), yoghurts (none at all) and pastries (just bread and rolls). Overall, I thought this was a pretty good hotel given the price, it’s a very good location, staff were friendly enough and I’d have no problem with recommending it if you’re on a tight budget.

The location is impeccable, there is free coffee in the lobby ☕️ drink, but the room is too small, the bed scalp appears off

The hotel is just behind the station, but the windows are soundproof and not noisy. The traffic is extremely convenient, and there is a large supermarket in the station, the shopping mall is convenient, because the city is small, it is only 10 minutes to walk to the old city. Going at the end of July, there is no air conditioning, no air conditioning is needed at night, and there are no mosquitoes in the window. There is an electric kettle, and it would be better if you had a small refrigerator to store food and drink cold drinks.

Single room at a competitive price drew ne in. Walking distance to bus and train stations. It is hidden away at the end of a one way street, and not well signed outside. Room was small and basic, not sure if double rooms are bigger. Small shower in the bathroom that functions perfectly well. Double bed, but the quilt is thin and too small to covet the whole bed. Tried to turn on the temperature control but no joy, also radiator same problem. One plug socket next to the bed, and so a choice between bedside lamp or charging phone. Two plug sockets next too the desk and chair alongside a mirror and very small wardrobe. View from the window was of the back courtyard.

Well everything is fine, it’s clean n modern. But the location is quiet n bit away from landmarks (it seemed to me that the street is empty, no ppl n shops) though it took 15 mins walk to reach the attractions but nearly nothing you can buy there. So if your looking for hotel that r convenient, it won’t be the best option, but the cost-performance ratio is ok at this £ regarding to the cleanliness n modern design.

Loved the place. Right next to the central train station, which also had a huge mall and supermarkets near by. Close to old town. The apartment was spacious with a kitchen, including a microwave, stove for cooking, utensils, plates and fridge. The room was slightly warm (perhaps because we did not know hot to operate the AC) but it was alright. The bedroom was facing a road and could get a little noisy at night when people walked past/ loud cars went through, but it didn't wake me up or anything. There was also ample space in the closet. The staff there were also very helpful and nice during our interaction. Would recommend.

Overall this hotel is excellent! The staff are friendly and very customer focused. The concierge service is equally excellent and I want acknowledge Johnny. He defines what it means to be a concierge. Everything from restaurant suggestions to handling airport transfers was top notch. Over the course of a week, he never gave us a bad recommendation. He also setup tours for us to take as well! The room (privilege with a full bed) was equally as large as rooms in the US, which was unexpected for Europe. The beds are comfortable and the bathroom/shower was equally large and comfortable. A couple of small dings where noticed in the cabinet finishes but that was the only sign of wear and tear in the room. This was our first time in Krakow and the hotel made it a perfect stay! Centrally located in the heart of the city, it is only a 5 minute walk to the Main Square and dining/ attractions. It is also across the street from a mall if you need any last minute purchases. If you are traveling to Poland this hotel is a must!.

Stayed at this prestigious hotel 5 years ago and just couldn't fault it. Stay again recently to find out it has been taken over. If it better??? In one word, no. The luxury is still the same, the staff are very pleasant and helpful but... It's lost its, well, specialness. Everything seemed slightly false. It appears to be trying to hard. Gone is the feeling of doing the normal things very well to having the feeling of trying to be too exclusive. Breakfast was, nouveau cuisine ish. There is no bar to talk off, supposedly being upgraded (which had been going on according to other reviews for well over a month!!!!) and replaced by a small excuse at the end of the dining room. Don't get me wrong, it's still a wonderful place to stay. The location is superb. The decor wonderful. Just not what it was, in my opinion.

It was our first time in Krakow and we stayed here for 3 nights. The hostel was clean and located in a very good location. It is very near to all the historic places of the city. The staff were very friendly. The only thing I don't like about this hostel was the breakfast, too expensive for low-quality ham, (boiled) eggs, toasted bread. I would advise ppl to just find and eat at some breakfast place (there is a lot!) nearby where you would pay the same amount but get a way better food. Oh and I hope too that the hostel organize activities for solo travelers, that would be awesome if guests has a chance to socialize to each other.
