Guest Reviews & Ratings

What Guests Are Saying?

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Downtown Krakow enjoys a convenient location near the train station, Dworzec Główny (roughly 7-8 minutes by foot), and a short walk from Rynek Główny, the Old Town's main square. Many guests appreciate the varied and tasty breakfast options, and some have enjoyed watching the trains from their windows. Although the trains running close by have been found a little noisy by some guests, the hotel offers modern and clean rooms, and the availability of laundry service has been a plus for many.
