Where To Stay In Kraków

Kraków is packed with fantastic accommodation for every price bracket, with high standards and interesting, historic buildings. Here is a list of what we consider the best places to stay, broken down to different categories.

Hotel Copernicus

Where you stay will depend very much on what you want from your trip to Kraków. For historical splendour, you should pick one of the Old Town locations, although this comes with a price tag. If budget is a factor, the areas immediately outside the Old Town can be a good compromise. Meanwhile, Kazimerz has a special atmosphere all of its own. The good news is that central Kraków is very compact and many of the key attractions will be walkable from any hotel in or surrounding the Old Town.

Kraków is a good destination all year round. For this reason, it’s wise to book well in advance. This is particularly true of the peak months of July and August. Christmas can also be busy – and cold. The spring months of May and June are a good option, as well as the autumn months of September and October.

Hotel Wentzl

(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
The central location gives Wentzl an immediate advantage, with views over Market Square and a world-class selection of bars, restaurants, and attractions right on the doorstep.

Venetian House Aparthotel

Venetian House Aparthotel

(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Directly on the west side of Main Market Square, the location is perfect. The rooms and apartments are themselves very clean and freshly decorated. The kitchen facilities depend which kind of accommodation you book – some do not come with an oven. Most have a dish washer and dining area. The rooms facing the square can get a little noisy at the height of the season, but rooms to the back are quiet.

Hotel Polski Pod Białym Orłem will appeal to those looking for romance with a touch of opulence in an atmospheric part of the old city. In addition to the atmospheric location, the hotel scores highly for comfort, cleanliness, and service.
