Krakow Hotels
 

For our Krakow visit in July we are considering the following hotels:

1. Metropolitan Boutique Hotel (just opened this summer...great TA reviews)
2. Queen Boutique Hotel
3. Hotel Senacki
4. Hotel Wentzl (right on the main square...how important is that?)

Does anyone have a strong opinion about location? All seem to be in walking distance of major sites although the first two are closer to the Kazimierz district.

I've noticed not many responses re Poland questions, so I'm topping this to wish you good luck-

We went to Krakow in May 2012 and stayed one night at Wentzl and four in Senacki. Both were excellent, with heaps of character and very well appointed. We went to Wentzl as we could not get into Senacki on the day we arrived, and we were pleased we did - it was a luxurious treat. They let us book in early (we arrived by early morning train and walked from the station to the main square)and gave us a room facing the square. (essentanial if you are staying there as the view provided entertainment from morning till night, with an international cycling race, the weekend market, night lights, the cathedral trumpeter, and full-on people watching 24/7. Breakfast was one of the best. Senacki was cheaper, but conveniently close by and very good value for money. Smart suite, luxurious local soaps etc in bathroom, brekkie in atmospheric cellar, helpful staff. It felt more like a serviced apartment, but service at reception was very good (organised cabs etc) We walked to the Kazimierz district. For us being near the main square was a priority and Krakow is one of my favorite cities after that wonderful experience.

Thanks, 29FEB!
Kenterprise...great to hear from someone who has stayed at two hotels we are considering. The Wentzl seems high on many people's lists. Yet I still find myself drawn to the newer Metropolitan Hotel although it's nearer the Kazimierz district.

More people responded to your other (duplicate) thread. 29FEB topped this one but people were already responding to the other one.
