Aparthotel Spatz

I stayed here from 29th September - 2 October. The hotel is well situated in the Jewish quarter with good transport links, plenty of places to see, eat and drink nearby and less than a 10 minute walk into the old town. The hotel itself was well maintained, the room was huge with a good shower and comfortable bed. Breakfast was excellent, the freshly made Omelette's were fantastic, although I would advise paying for the breakfast at the hotel rather than paying in advance as it works out much cheaper. The staff were friendly and helpful and the city itself was beautiful, clean and felt very safe. I would definitely return to Krakow and I would also definitely return to the Spatz Aparthotel.

Spatz Aparthotel - a fantastic experience On behalf of myself and my friend (Miriam Dawaf), I’m happy to leave a glowing review for the Spatz Aparthotel and all their staff members. From the time of booking through British Airways, we couldn’t have enjoyed a better experience. We emailed them to discuss tour bookings and they responded promptly and booked our selected tours sending all the information by return email. They also accommodated our request for rooms on the 1st floor and next to each other. On arrival at the Spatz we were greeted by the Receptionist, signed in and given a map of Krakow. Our rooms were bright, clean and stocked with a kettle/teas/coffees and even a little fridge. We had breakfast included in our stay and it was well worth the additional monies. A selection of fresh fruits; cheeses ; breads; yoghurts; omelettes made to order; my favourite, scrambled eggs and so much more. The staff couldn’t do enough for us and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again were we to return to Krakow. Spatz Aparthotel is situated perfectly in the Jewish Quarter, a nice walk from The Old Town Square. For us, it was far more favourable to the touristy area. A ‘cool laid-back’ vibe to the area; the best restaurants and great value for money. What more can I say except a BIG thank you from Miriam and Olive to the staff for taking such good care of us.

Great hotel, staff very friendly, room 16 was very big, spacious and clean. The room was a little dated but for the amount of time we were actually in there it didn’t matter too much. There’s no lift which we knew before we went and we didn’t have breakfast so I can’t comment on that. There is a bar but again we don’t go in there. There’s a shop right on the other corner and another 1 about 30 seconds down the road.

We stayed at the hotel for three nights and wanted to recommend it to others, primarily because of it's location (excellent), value for money (excellent) friendliness of the staff (faultless), quality of the breakfast (delicious omelettes, scrambled egg and porridge made to order and breakfast is available until midday). Our room was on the top floor (3rd) and was spacious and clean . I would call out that this hotel has no lift. It's seventy steps up to the third floor so if that's not for you, contact the hotel and ask for a room on the 1st or 2nd floor (no ground floor rooms). Equally, we had Velux windows in our room so no view and the blackout wasn't great. Not too much of an issue at this time of year but could be a problem when the days become longer. There are some fab restaurants 3/4 minutes away: this hotel has a cosy and well stocked bar but does not serve dinner. Book into Starka and/or Pierewszy Stopien and enjoy. Finally for street food, ground zero is Plac Nowy, again, 4 minutes away. The best Polish Pizza is served here and there is a flea market there on Saturday's as well. We will be back and if you go we hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did. PS: Use Uber from the airport. 30 minute transfer.

Very basic and outdated no lift so beware if you in the top floor bar closes at 10 pm Staff are friendly though Was told no free shuttle service to airport but advertised on line as being offered Breakfast is the best thing about this hotel Wouldn’t recommend as found it over priced for where it is and the condition of the hotel
