What guests report

View

Rooftop jacuzzi rooms and upper floors offer panoramic Wawel Castle views; one reviewer noted dark room with poor visibility

Bed & mattress

Exceptionally comfortable and spacious with quality linens, but some mattresses worn hollow and subsiding in middle after limited use

Bathroom & water

Premium bathrooms with distinctive design, some with television, good water pressure implied by positive mentions

Breakfast

Generous and diverse options including hot croissants, eggs, bacon, vegetables, yogurt, pastries, available in room or restaurant; some guests reported limited repetitive menu of only eggs and vegetables

Local knowledge

Book a top-floor room with jacuzzi for the best Wawel castle views, especially in winter

Request fresh towels explicitly in writing each day; housekeeping is stretched managing multiple properties

Communicate next-day breakfast preferences in writing before evening; verbal requests get lost
