The hotel is ideally located in the center of Krakow, making sightseeing in the Old Town a breeze. The rooms facing a different direction offer a quieter stay at half the price, though the direct proximity to a lively club could impact your rest. Service was helpful overall, but a lack of a smile during checkout was noticeable. While the street noise can be lively, the location is perfect for exploring the city. The dining options, including breakfast, were sub-standard, but traditional Irish pancakes were a highlight. The hotel features standard facilities to meet your basic needs.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of charm and noise due to its prime location atop the Flying Lizard night club. The rooms were modest yet adequate, adhering to 21st-century standards. The service had a touch of 'old school Krakow' formality, with helpful staff. The excellent position, a stone's throw from the main square, made up for any noise. The dining experience was just average, although the indulgent pastries were a highlight.

The hotel has a lot of character, with rooms featuring a parquet floor and high ceilings. It's conveniently close to the main square, though noise from passersby can be heard at night. There was a slight odor upon check-in, possibly from nearby facilities. The location near the Lizard King Night Club adds a unique touch to the stay.

My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were spacious, with high ceilings and big windows overlooking the quiet courtyard, giving a luxurious feel with a double door entrance. I requested a quiet room in advance, and the setting met my expectations. The service was friendly, although some pricing issues arose. The location was superb, just a minute's walk from the lovely square and conveniently close to major attractions. The dining experience, while a bit expensive, offered a good selection of Eastern European dishes. Overall, a great stay with some minor drawbacks.
