Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Krakow
For the vast majority of travelers, Krakow International Airport (KRK) is the only logical gateway, as it is the only airport located within the city limits and offers the most efficient transit. For those prioritizing budget, Katowice International Airport (KTW) acts as a common alternative for low-cost carriers, though it requires a significant journey of over 100 km into a neighboring city, typically managed by coach. Rzeszow–Jasionka Airport (RZE), located in the nearby city of Rzeszów, provides domestic and European connectivity but is less convenient for reaching downtown Kraków compared to our primary hub. Finally, Poprad-Tatry Airport (TAT) in Slovakia and Leos Janacek Airport Ostrava (OSR) in the Czech Republic serve their respective regional markets and are situated in neighboring countries. These latter options are rarely ideal for standard city-center travel unless specific flight connections dictate their use. Travelers are advised to book private transfers if landing at non-local airports to avoid the complexities of multi-modal regional public transit.

Had a great stay at Vienna House by Wyndham Andel’s Cracow. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from Kraków Glówny station and Galeria Krakowska, and within easy walking distance to the Old Town and main attractions.
The hotel has a modern and stylish design, and the room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The bed was excellent, and the amenities were well thought out. Everything felt well-maintained and high quality.
Staff were friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the stay. Breakfast was also a highlight, with a wide variety of options and good quality food.
Overall, a very convenient and comfortable hotel with great service—perfect for both business and leisure travelers. Highly recommended!FromUS$145

The room is very good, the space is relatively large
Auntie cleaned at ten o'clock in the morning and swiped the room card directly. It was a bit scary.
There is always a male staff in the gym women's locker room speaking Polish, which is scary!
In general, the quality of the personnel is terrible, and the others are pretty good!FromUS$131

The hotel in Warsaw was great, but the one in Krakow was a pleasant surprise. The moment I stopped at the entrance of the hotel, I felt very good and liked it very much. You can see the textile hall at the entrance of the hotel. The location is excellent. The interior decoration of the hotel is very tasteful and very high-end. The room is large, the bathroom is larger than normal, the room equipment has a strong sense of technology, and it is very comfortable facing the courtyard. Breakfast is also great, this restaurant is recommended by Michelin at night, it is so delicious. Krakow is too beautiful to have time for hotel spas. The only thing I don't understand is that there is no partition in the bathroom shower, and the water will spill on the ground beside it.FromUS$316

The hotel was pretty good. Had all the amenities that we needed. They had a water refill station which was better than bottles of water. The service staff was friendly. There was a gym and sauna that you could also use. Super value for money. Only con was that it was a little far from the toursity spots, which was okay for us since we explored the city for the whole day. would recommendFromUS$57

I stayed one night at the DoubleTree by Hilton Krakow for a two-day conference and was very impressed. The room was outstanding — spacious, spotless, with a roomy bathroom and a wonderfully comfortable bed. Service was excellent as well; staff kindly let me check in at 9am, which was a huge help. The only drawbacks were the location, which is a bit far from Krakow’s main attractions (though there are some good local restaurants nearby), and the conference space being in the underground level, which felt a little enclosed despite being perfectly functional. Overall, for comfort and service this hotel is hard to beat, and I would highly recommend it for anyone visiting Krakow. Btw, room service in the morning was absolutely delicious.FromUS$100

This hotel is beautifully located by a bend in the Vistula river, offering views of Wawel Castle. The staff are professional and friendly, reacting instantly to any issues. The comfortable room has a fantastic large bed – you won't want to get up in the morning! There's also a pool and sauna, perfect for relaxing after exploring Krakow's hidden gems. The breakfast is delicious, with a great selection of products, including live cooking for omelets and scrambled eggs, so you're fueled up to continue sightseeing in Krakow. Thank you for a wonderful weekend. Sheraton consistently delivers.FromUS$251

The hotel consists of three old and new buildings, which makes the internal circulation confusing. I got lost several times. I had to go up half a floor to the third floor, and the elevator didn't work, so I had to carry my luggage by myself. I had to go around and around to find the breakfast room.FromUS$142

We loved our stay here. The location is perfect. The hotel beautiful. Loved the acqua de palma toiletries. A couple of critiques would be. A coffee machine in the room would be an added bonus and the spa areas a little warmer. The bar area is lovely as is the rest of the hotel. We’d certainly stay here again 😊FromUS$203

This is a 'grand hotel' set right in the heat of the Old Town, just off the corner of the main square, so perfectly located!
The rooms are extremely comfortable and very clean.
Breakfast is plentiful, although the coffee machine didn't produce the best drinks.
We were slightly disappointed that it didn't have an open bar, although on our last night the staff were very accommodating and allowed us to sit there, and served us drinks. We were told that it would be open regularly when the season picked up in a couple of weeks time. It really didn't put us off. Staff were really friendly.
There's a mini-bar in the rooms - which is seldom seen these days, and there were a couple of bottles of free water provided each day.
Overall we were very pleased with our stay, and would consider the hotel again.FromUS$143

Room was great but maybe the management would like to consider installing a Smart TV so that foreign travelers can also watch non-Polish channels. Please replace couch in Room 019. It’s a little old and uncomfortable to sit on.

It’s a very beautiful well decorated boutique hotel, with English speak friendly staff!
We did room only so cannot comment on the food but the hospitality was second to none!!!
We had no issues at all!
The spa small but very clean and ideal for a quick dip in the jacuzzi followed by a sweat session in the sauna.
Our whole party loved the hotel and the location. It’s a small cab ride from the hotel in to the shopping center and the castle is a couple minutes walk.
We all said we would come again and stay here!FromUS$256
