GreatSolo stay
A unique place to say.
It's a sort of hostel vibe, so it's not luxurious. But I stayed in room #10, the private room, which was nice and rather spacious.
Positives: good wifi, a nice room with coffee and tea in the morning and a fridge for guests to use. The staff were very nice, especially Kamil. Air conditioning.
Negatives: The curtains in my room did not keep the morning sun out well. The bed was not very comfortable. The room got rather warm on sunny afternoons.
Nearby restaurant FORUM highly recommended.

There was one person that stood out for me & that was the guy Kamil on reception. His customer service is excellent, service with a smile and nothing was too much trouble. He went above and beyond to make our stay on the boat easy . This boat is a hidden gem 馃拵... the location is superb.

While I鈥檓 still traveling Europe, I鈥檓 currently on my 21st country and this place is one of my favorite places I stayed. A piece of advice for other travelers though, make sure you type in the address of the hostel and make sure it correlates with where it鈥檚 at bc I typed in the name and it sent me to another place on the other side of the river. Also the local tram is super convenient and right on the other side of the street.

Bar was available if you spoke to staff - weather was cold so they sat in reception and would assist if you wanted a drink.
There are a couple of Zabkas in the old town, The Forum is close by and has a food court. There's also an excellent restaurant on a boat a 2 minute walk away.

Good location just over the river from the castle. The room was nice and had everything that we needed and the staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the bar on top of the boat sitting in the sun. Really enjoyed our stay here.

We are truly over the moon with our stay. The staff were amazing and the rooms and boat was very clean. So close to the attractions too

Fantastic Area is just outside the center of Krakow which is quieter but also lacking some points of interest.
Staying on the boat was such an amazing experience, particularly the glasshouse dining at the back.
Note that this being a boat, the walls between the rooms are quite thin and noise does transfer across.

Stayed for 4 nights over the Easter holidays. We stayed in a family room with bunk beds. The room was comfortable and also had a bathroom with shower.
Staff were really friendly and helpful.
Location was brilliant. A very short stroll over the bridge to the centre of Krakow.
