Kraków’s boutique hotels can be excellent, thanks to high standards of customer service and attention to detail. Here are our recommendations for a more bespoke accommodation.
Hotel Amber
Kraków’s boutique hotels tend to give their historical roots and more contemporary twist. Whilst the buildings themselves may date back hundreds of years, the interiors are often a little idiosyncratic and somewhat cosy. Many are based in Kazimierz, a thriving quarter with bars and restaurants, so this type of accommodation is perfect for those who want plenty of nightlife to go with the sights.
Rates for boutique accommodation really does vary according to season, demand, location, and quality of the hotel. Some are approaching 5-star standard, while others will be more modest and intimate. The best advice is to shop around until you find one that matches your budget. You can find some real bargains if you don’t mind when you travel and start looking early enough. Prices are highest in the summer (late June to the end of September) and around Easter and Christmas.
