I had an incredible stay at Hotel Kopernicus. The rooms were amazing, spacious, and comfortable, although a bit quirky with small windows. The service was top-notch, with friendly and accommodating staff. The location was superb, right in the center of Krakow, close to major sights and with fantastic dining options nearby. The dining experience was delightful, offering delicious food in a lovely setting. The hotel facilities were impressive, including a rooftop bar and a Spa.
The hotel offers beautiful and spacious rooms that are luxurious-looking, though some have narrow windows facing the inner court. The service is top-notch with a focus on hospitality professionalism. The central location is great for exploring Krakow, especially for first-time visitors. The dining experience is a mix of buffet and cooked-to-order meals, providing a good selection of delicious dishes. Overall, a luxurious stay with some minor room view limitations.
The hotel is situated in a central location, within walking distance of all the main sites. The rooms were satisfactory, but guests should be aware of the church bells until midnight, lack of ventilation, and the need to climb to the 3rd level. The service was excellent, with a professional yet slightly formal approach. The location is very convenient for exploring the city, though some may find the area a bit disorienting. The dining experience was quite good, offering a traditional European buffet with a choice of hot dishes. Overall, a suitable option for a short stay in Krakow.
The hotel has amazing rooms, great size, and really comfy beds. The inner court serving as the breakfast and dinner room is a unique touch. The location is fantastic, within easy access of Krakow's wonderful sights. However, the dining experience could be improved with a more varied menu. The service is excellent, especially the welcoming receptionists.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but the lack of soundproofing made it noisy due to neighboring rooms and the corridor. The service from most staff members was hospitable, but there were some unfriendly encounters. The location is outstanding, right at the foot of Wawel Hill and a short walk to the Main Square, despite a few discomforts. The dining options were decent overall, though some items were lacking. The facilities were satisfactory.
