Top hotels in Kraków Old Town
Hotel Polski Pod Białym Orłem
Exceptional. Great location - in old city, 5 min walk to the main square, 10 min to train station, next door to amazing historical museum. Breakfast buffet is amazing, many Polish dishes to try local cuisine. You feel like living in a historical palace, in fact it is so.

Wyndham Grand Krakow Old Town
Hotel was spotless, including the spa. Staff were all great, super helpful, particularly those at breakfast who went over and about to ensure a gluten free breakfast. Thank you for a great stay, we would definitely recommend!

Betmanowska Main Square Residence Adults Only
Breakfast was awful and most of breakfast staff rude! Room was very tired, with lamps with wear and tear! The lady who booked us in on day of arrival was lovely and friendly! Car pick up and drop off service excellent!

Aparthotel Stare Miasto
Great location, very good breakfast, nice rooms, very good and helpful concierges, good housekeeping. Great selection of restaurants nearby and the center of town square. Cons: no closets, no laundry service for your clothes. I still will recommend them.
