    Great location, only a 5/10 minute walk away from the shopping centre Galeria Krakowska. Outside of the shopping centre is the Kiss & Ride bus stop which is where the tours we booked picked us up from. The room was a good size, everything was very clean. It was ideal for a place to sleep and freshen up while you explore all day. The reception staff were helpful in arranging our airport taxis and answered my messages via booking.com quickly. For a budget hotel it was very good.
