Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Small scale, limited facilities — With only 10 rooms, the guesthouse is small, and while it offers a restaurant and common areas, it may lack the facilities of larger hotels.
  • Evening check-in window may be restrictive — Check-in is from 14:00 to 23:59, so if you arrive later than midnight you may need to arrange alternative plans.
  • No pets allowed — Despite one review noting it was 'perfect for traveling with a dog,' the official policy states pets are not allowed, so you'll need to leave pets at home.

“The property felt safe and secure, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The room was spacious with a lovely en suite toilet and shower. The location was perfect, within walking distance to popular attractions like Wawel and Sukiennice. Breakfast offered a variety of choices including meats, cheese, and eggs. The staff, especially Ms. Aneta, Ms. Bogusia, and Ms. Carolina, were informative and helpful. I highly recommend staying here. Cons: Nothing, all was good.”
