This hotel was the worst experience in over 20 years of staying at various locations all around Europe we have come across.On arrival we soon found out,in room 228, there was no hot water,asking why at reception they said the whole hotel had a water problem.They suggested try running all the hot taps etc for 20 MINUTES!!Sure enough 20 minutes... more

Plenty of reviews similar but I have to that I enjoyed my 3 night stay here. The room we were in 223 was massive. It was a shame that it was sparsely furnished with no drink making facilities or hair dryer, but no big for us. They had a fridge which was a bonus in this hot weather for our... more

I would give this hotel top marks if it wasn't for two things. First when booking in on arrival, we were sent to a different part of the hotel away from main reception area. I would not have minded if someone had accompanied us to show us where to go. The second was a musty smell in the room. Having... more

I've just got back and would recommend the hotel, highly. The most obvious advantage is it's location, right opposite Wavel Castle. You can stroll to the Old Town, or Kazimierz in fifteen minutes and the train/bus station is less than twenty five minutes, also on foot. The hotel itself is split into 2 parts, the 2 star rooms at the... more

I initially booked a * room but when we got there, it was too disgusting to stay in, especially for the 330 PLN they were charging. The room smelled and was falling apart--it looked like it had not been fixed up in 80 years. For an additional 70 PLN we upgraded to a brand-new "LUX" room, which was the complete... more

Stayed at the Royal at the beginning of February; booked it after reading the reviews on this site. There was nothing about this hotel that disappointed!! If you are going to Krakow, I would definately recommend this hotel; the location is perfect (5-10 min walk to the main square - Cloth Hall). It is just such a lovely hotel to... more

This hotel is right opposite Krakow Castle and a 10 minute walk from the main square,Rynek Glowny. The rooms wre a bit tired looking as was the hotel, the restaurant though was excellent value and good quality, try their home-made lemon vodka. A trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau is a must and very thought provoking, we booked a taxi and the driver... more

Spent 4 days at the Royal Hotel and found it to be great, clean and warm! Well situated for access to all the city tours and only a ten minute walk to the main market square. Bars and rstaurants Galore, not as cheap as what i had been told but not overly expensive either. Saltimines and Aushwitz are both well... more

I arrived at this hotel late on a Friday night getting a taxi transfer from the Airport. Upon arriving at the hotel the first thing you notice is the great location that it is set in. Directly opposite the Wawel castle, it is approximately a 10 minute stroll to the Old Town centre which passes some nice attractions along the... more
