How
to book a hotel room in Krakow.
The
city is one of Europe’s leading tourist destinations so little
wonder hotels in Krakow are often overbooked in the high season and on
holidays such as Christmas, New Year, and Easter. But it seems always
prudent to make a room reservation as early as possible.
Unless
you employ a competent tour operator, it’s advisable to book a room
directly either by contacting the hotel in Krakow you want to stay at
or via its web site. Various online booking services may look
convenient and tempt with discounts but they often cannot deliver.
Firstly, Krakow’s hotels cancel reservations when overbooked.
Secondly, some web operations are just unreliable. Also, it’s
usually possible to negotiate a better price without middlemen and
their profit margins.
When
booking a room don't forget to inquire about additional services such
as transportation from and to the airport or train station (some of
Krakow's hotels operate their own car fleets for convenience of their
guests).
Please
note that in the high season, i.e. April through October, Krakow’s
hotel rates usually rise by 30 to 40 percent.
