Homestays in Lesser Poland, Poland

I AND MY SON stayed there from 5 Feb to 8 Feb for 3 nights. Its a beautiful hotel, compact and homely. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The bathroom is big and good. The kitchen is very well equipped with Microwave, Toaster, Fridge, Cooking Plate, Water heater, coffee maker etc and all types of utensils. You can cook and sit on the table and comfortably eat. It's a place I recommend 100%. YOU CAN PARK your car in the hotel premises so that's also very safe and secure. Most importantly it is walking distance to the Auschwitz 1 Camp. If you are staying there with the intention of visiting the camp, then as ypu step put of the 6th room gate, ypu find a huge park bang opp...just walk through and at the end of the connecting road turn left and in a few minutes you will be at the Auschwitz entrance. First day, we made a mistake and turned to left from the 7th room entrance, but then we came to the backside of the Auschwitz camp which is only a staff entrance, and we had to walk another 1km to reach the entrance. Hence don't turn left. Thank you 7th Room....you made a most memorable and a wonderful destination, and 2 or 3 years later I will visit again and MOST CERTAINLY stay here! Aseem Varma

This is like a kind of cheap annex of the Carlton Hotel. In fact, the reception desk is located in the Carlton. Here the staff is quite friendly and helpful with indications (it's quite hard to find the tourist office in the town), especially with the public transportation needed to arrive to the several entry points of the National Park. I took a single room for 4 nights and a economy double room for other 2, as it was not possible to book the 6 nights altogether in the single one. But when I arrived I was told that the manager had arranged that I could stay in the same single room the 6 nights. Nice, but the difference paid for the economy double room was never returned (I've suggested to the officer that I could have a breakfast in compensation, but he replied that that was to be discussed with the manager, who seemed to be the invisible man that all the staff was afraid of...). The room was provided with soap, good set of towel, bed linen, a very warm duvet and cover. There was also a common balcony that can give you a good relaxation time while looking at the mountains, if you are in the front part of the builing , or at the trees in the parking place. The building is of good quality so you don't hear noises of neighbours, meaning you can have a good quality of sleep. Even if my room was leading to the parking lot, I didn't hear the cars, and I imagine that it was of the soundproofness of the window and balcony door. In the corridor you have a boiling kettle with coffe, tea and sugar. In a sense, you are ”left alone” during your stay, as there's nobody coming to do the cleaning (you can throw your own garbage in the parking lot). If you need a change of towels you have to pay for it. So it's understandable that people ask for a fridge, as the way of ”giving service” is just as renting an apartment to you. Single rooms are in the 2nd floor, so you will have to climb stairs that can be quite painful after 8 hours in the Tatras. The floor has carpet, so it can be kind of warm in case of hot weather, but you can leave the balcony's door open. Sockets were only 2: one in the bathroom and other below the table. No soap provided. But location is perfect: just 3 blocks away from the main (peatonal) street, and other 3 blocks away from the main road where buses pass by to go to Tatras. In these 2 roads you have restaurants and markets for food. The breakfast offered is the one at the Carlton's, where they can also prepare lunch, but no dinner. I was offered to keep my luggage there the last day and to use the lobby room for internet.

We spent three nights here and this was a disappointing stay. It was extremely noisy at night. The room that we were given faced the street despite our asking for a quiet room when we booked. Apart from two narrow tall windows, there is no other source of ventilation. We had to open the windows as it was hot. Unfortunately, there are many bars/restaurants and every night we were subjected to drunks shouting, singing, music and also fighting on the street below the hotel. The nearest bar was only a few doors away and seemed to be a magnet for the badly behaved. This went on till early morning, usually about 3.00am. The street is blocked off to traffic at one end and is therefore used as a rat-run for people on foot leaving the socialising area. The disturbance is continuous; had it been in short bursts with long periods of quiet in between it would have been bearable. Sleepless 3 nights! Not happy at all! The front desk staff (present only from 8am - 10pm) and we were locked out of the hotel twice as the card entry was temperamental and the door extremely heavy to open. We were rescued by another guest leaving and on the second occasion by the receptionist arriving early. We asked to change rooms due to the noise. The body language displayed during the reply that none other rooms were available suggested that they simply could not be bothered. It was certainly not a case of their having to clean the room – ours never was (see next paragraph) The room and bathroom were basic but did not look clean. The room and bathroom were not cleaned during the stay and the waste bin never emptied. Pillows were not up to standard - too soft and collapsed and flattened out! The WIFI was weak and was switched off one night. The breakfast buffet was simple but good with a respectable range of food. On the plus side – the hotel is in a great location with many sites and the old town within a short walking distance. If you don’t need to sleep during your stay the hotel represents good value.

The guesthouse has its years, but defends itself on the whole line. The room was cleanly decorated, the bathroom was clean. I haven't seen a battery with two chickens in a long time, but what's really bothering you? Bed, towels of good quality. Huge plus for a kettle in the room. The breakfast was organized in the form of a buffet with a service. Ladies applied food quite efficiently, so the queues were endurable (I guess that this buffet organization is dictated by security measures in connection with COVID). The choice is quite large, although the quality leaves you wish. The steamers were not eaten, and the salads in the number of few were made from products from cans with a majonesium addition. However, in general it is fine. For this price and location two steps from Krupovek there is nothing to disgust.

It was great place & stay😀

We needed a calm budget place where would be possible to rest and to see Krakow a little bit because our plans changed every day. We have found this hotel and stayed here for 4 nights. The room with own toilet and shower, windows to the calm small street. The small kitchen with everything that we needed for fast cooking is next to the room Guest rooms on Cibulskogo - it is a great location: everything is in a few minutes of walking: the main square and the Castle across the nice city park. As well as shops, cafes and main city railway station are close to the hotel. But the most important in this hotel is - the people who work there. They touched our hearts when cared about us like beloved kids. A huge thank you Pawel, Domenik, Patricia, and Julia; we have only the best wishes for you.
