Good Hotels in Krakow, Poland. A Lodging Guide.
Krakow’s hotels fall into every
category and price bracket. At the high end of the market
one may choose between the five-star cosmopolitan premises of
well-known international chains on the one hand and posh hotels in
the city’s Old Town
historic center on the other. All offer excellent
service, and the former top it with abundant parking space for
motorists and ample
conference facilities for
business visitors
as well as such amenities as indoor swimming pools or even a
casino; while the latter grant the easiest access to
Krakow’s attractions and unforgettable ambience.
Actually, many a Krakow hotel in the Old Town area, also inexpensive
ones, operate in buildings of considerable historical and/or
architectural value, some were once aristocratic palaces, and a few
pride themselves on their centuries-old hotelier traditions.
The city's new hotels.
In recent years new hotel facilities in Krakow opened almost by the
month, in that number operations of established international
brands. Also converting
old tenement buildings into cozy hotels in Krakow's historic center
is increasingly popular enterprise among local businessmen. At the
same time existing Krakow hotels keep on upgrading fast.

Poland’s
hotels are rated with stars, from one-star lodgings (cheap)
to five-star accommodations (the highest standard). In order to get
its due of stars every establishment should meet criteria specified
for each class. Yet the Polish hotel categories don’t necessary fit
those in your country, e.g. some five-star Krakow hotels can boast
indoor swimming pools and some lack that luxury. Also, there are
guest houses or hostels that advertise themselves as hotels although
they haven't been licensed as such and don't comply with Poland's
hotel standards.

to the mark, no matter if they run the establishments directly or
entrust the job to Polish franchise holders. At the same time local
hoteliers in Krakow often best the competition.
