I stayed here for a long weekend holiday in late April. The location is perfect, center of Krakow and walking distance to everything. The hotel room is simple, clean, and comfortable, no frills, but perfectly adequate for my needs. The staff at the front-desk were helpful in arranging an excellent driver/translator for a day-trip to a town about 80km west... More

My husband and I stayed here for several days during our first visit to Poland. Because we broke up our Polish adventure with a visit to the nearby national park, we stayed in two different rooms on two occasions. Both rooms were spacious and quiet. The use of their computer with internet was especially helpful. I must commend the staff... More

This was a nice, centrally located place to stay, for a good price in a great location. The room was clean, but 1970's like, but comfortable enough. We walked everywhere. It took us about 15 minutes to get from the train station. The service was good. 3 nights, July 2011

My wife and I stayed here and were very happy with the accommodation. The rooms were very clean and tidy, the reception staff were extremely helpful and the location is perfect. The pickup from the airport was very reasonable and the driver was very knowledgable and helpful. Highly recommend this hotel.

The location was perfect, not far from the train station and a quiet location right in the city center. The rooms were simple, spacious and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful, anticipated our needs. There are two great breakfast options just across the square. There is a hotpot and coffee cups in the room. Tea is provided for...

Globetroter (with one 't'?) has a good location just 2 minutes from the Market Square in Krakow's Old Town. You have to go through 2 sets of doors into a rear courtyard to find the place but my taxi driver knew where it was - nearly as well as he knew how to overcharge me for a short trip from... More

We were very pleased with the customer service, as the desk clerks helped us with various items. When our passports were missing, the desk clerk helped us find them. They helped us get a taxi at 4:30am and did a wakeup knock on our door at 4:15am. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Krakow. The room we were given was... More

This hotel is in a great location, it has nice rooms, a helpful staff, and best of all the rooms are quiet. (it seems in krakow people can stay up late at the bars.) You will not be disappointed staying here. It is a very short walk to the market square.

I booked 7 nights here and have enjoyed my stay. It is just a 3 minute walk to the main square, and 15 minutes walk from the railway & bus stations. It's on Szczapanski square. There is not a huge hotel sign, just a modest wall sign. Look for the Rainbow travel sign then enter the next door to the... More

The first thought that struck me the moment we found this place [it took a bit of an effort given the hour of the day and the rough weather, though the next morning we realised that it is very easy to find] was that it was straight out of a picture postcard.
