Spatz Aparthotel

This was our first time at the Spatz Hotel & our first time in Krakow. I don’t think it will be the last, we have loved it! The room was ideal, but for me I struggled to straighten my hair in front of the mirror because of where it is compared to the plug! But that’s a really minor gripe. The breakfast was lovely, fresh & filling with plenty of choice, it set us up each day for exploring. We booked trips to Auschwitz & Birkenau, and Schindlers Factory, via the hotel along with airport transfers and a late check out. This did make them a bit more expensive but it was so much easier with it being our first time and they were seamless. The tours were with krakow direct who were excellent, and the hotel made us an amazing packed lunch for one of them too. The hotel is well placed in the Jewish district with the little market square nearby and just a short walk to the castle, and not far from the main market square. There are plenty of cafes and bars and restaurants nearby and you can get on a tram just round the corner. We also jumped on a golf buggy to do the tour of the places we didn’t get to on foot which was really interesting and highly recommend. I had been quoted nearly £200 for one of these, but just getting on one while out and about it cost £118, so definitely better doing it that way, you see so much more but you hear the history behind what you’re looking at too. My mum doesn’t have the best mobility and our room was 2nd floor but she managed ok, just something to take into consideration if coming here as there is no lift. You do hear people coming and going but more because many of them slammed their doors! The outside can be a bit noisy but we only closed the window on one night. The staff were all friendly and answered all our questions and the room was cleaned and fresh towels provided each day (we placed the sign on the door handle) The outside garden is lovely, a really chilled quiet place for a drink, their tapas option is lovely too.

The bar is very good and the welcome drink is a nice touch. Great area, so much around. Great value Dora the explorer who works behind the bar is an absolute credit to the place. Thanks so much for your conversation and helpfulness. You really helped make my trip that bit brighter.

This is the first time my wife and I have been to Krakow. All the staff made us feel very welcome.They were all so friendly and spoke good English.They were able to answer any questions we had.And also they allowed us to store our cases as we had a late flight home. If you go into the bar, treat the staff to a drink.After all, they have the decency to speak English to us. The breakfast is superb.A great selection..Also just a heads up.There isn't a lift, so expect stairs --Good for the daily workout. We've now got muscles where we didnt know muscles existed! The staff will help to carry any cases for you.

I didn't book the breakfast at the hotel, however the cafe across the street had outdoor tables and was cheaper. The old town centre was about 15 minutes walk and well worth the effort. It's worth exploring the area near the hotel as there are some very nice bars and restaurants. The hotel is comfortable and the showers are awesome.

We were welcomed by a lovely, helpful receptionist when we arrived, in fact all the of the staff were fantastic throughout our stay. The bedroom was spacious, spotless, very comfortable beds, powerful hot shower. Breakfast was a huge spread with every possible option of continental breakfast but also hot cooked food food, the option to order omelettes or poached eggs and lots of variety of pastries etc. The location couldn't have been better, so many bars and restaurants all within doors of the hotel, we didn't need to go far. It was the perfect location for walking the whole city. I would highly recommend to any traveller.
