I have mixed feelings about Hotel Francuski. On one hand, its location is perfect, a few minutes from the Market Place and the center of town. It was built in the early years of the 20th century and has kept its old-world charm, though I am not sure the post Blitzkrieg faux look of the dining-room does very much for... More

This is my fourth time staying at this hotel. I was on a b/b basis but was not offered choice of hot breakfast. We only knew of it on our second morning because we saw someone else being served an omelette. The next morning we asked for a hot breakfast and were only offered scrambled eggs or an omelette. It...

This is very much a hotel reflecting a bye gone era. It was built early in the 20th century. It is perfectly situated near the centre of Krakow , close to all the attractions and restaurants, but with easy access to the railway station for buses or trains to the airport. It has a splendid hall and grand staircase, the... More

If you are looking for a modern impersonal western style hotel with sauna, pool and gym this is NOT the place for you. If you are looking for a traditional serene quiet efficient genteel hotel stay here. The rooms are large, the bathrooms are a little quirky but spotless and the public rooms are grand. The hotel boasts a very... More

Had a wonderful 4 nights in the hotel, an old hotel that brings back traditional service. The staircases, red carpets and large rooms makes it feel rather grand in an old-world way. We had a suite which had plenty of room for us. Location was brilliant, a very quick walk to the main square. Staff were very friendly and amenable.... More

we stayed here for 4 nights in December, and was very happy with the hotel in general. the service was very good, and the common rooms with fireplace on both ground floor, and 1st floor was a nice place to retreat from the winter cold. The room was also nice, but felt a little dusty with its large "antique" curtains... More

We stayed at the Francuski on a recent city break to Krakow, all I can really say is FANTASTIC, an old fashioned hotel where they know how to treat a person. The hotel is just inside the old city wall (not there anymore) but in the prefect position for exploring Krakow as well as the old town, we had a... More

What a nice hotel. My fiance and I aren't the types to want to stay in the typical modern-type Mercure or Hilton so we stayed at Francuski because it looked old-worldly. We weren't disappointed. From the staircase that makes you feel like your stepping back a century to the spacious rooms. The rooms could use a little touching up but... More

We stayed here first about 8 years ago and were really impressed, especially the staff who went out of their way to help me when I broke my specs. We were a bit unsure when we heard it had been taken over by new owners and were hoping it hadn't been spoiled. As soon as we arrived this time we... More
