Review of Hotel Kossak
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Apr 2018via mobile
We booked this hotel as a mid range hotel with a good location but the hotel is STUNNING. Definatley a must, the rooms are beautiful and smell very clean. Breakfast is a vast array of multi cultural food and there is something for everyone. The food and drink is very cheap in the hotel and good quality. We propped up the bar for a full rainy day and spent £25! The bar staff even created drinks not on the normal menu. Reception went out of their way to help us when our excursion to Auschwitz was cancelled, checking other museums and tourist attractions.

We will be back. We loved it!

Arrived late on a Friday around 7pm and were immediately upgraded to a suite with bathrobes and slippers and tea and coffee making facilities. Lovely huge rooms with stunning views of the castle. Monika was brilliant arranging all the trips and transfers. Well worth the few pennies extra to get picked up door to door for the trips to Auschwitz and salt-mines by minibus. Just E mail the hotel a few days before and they will book the trips for you and you pay on arrival. Ate in the basement restaurant first night then rooftop second night as we were too tired to venture out! Food was delicious. Ate in the rooftop Cafe Oranzeria tonight food gorgeous and views absolutely stunning. You get 10% off the bill as well in the hotel restaurants which is a good deal!

Hotel was spotless, bearing in mind there was building work going on. It's ideally situated, several options for walking into town 10 minutes in either direction. Over the road from the Vistula river with Wawel castle 5 minutes walk. Rooms bright and airy and very peaceful, no noise. Breakfast more than adequate, lots to choose from. Staff friendly and efficient. Definitely recommend.

We have just returned from three nights in this fab hotel. Just as described by previous reviews - great choice for breakfast, very comfortable room, excellent staff... The restaurant on the rooftop is a real asset - great food with views of the beautiful old town and river. Didn't like the plastic sheet on the bed (just took it off!) as room is warm. Lovely hot bath after walking for miles each day! Overall we had a very enjoyable break in this great hotel. Thank you!!

Room tip: Rooms higher up and front of hotel give great views

From the warm welcome onwards, we were very pleased with Hotel Kossak. Our room was spotlessly clean and well appointed. We were really lucky to have a panoramic view of the Wawel Castle and the Vistula river which delighted us day and night. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and varied and replenished very regularly. I was very happy to return here having stayed a year ago. I would definitely return. The hotel is located very conveniently near the city centre but is very quiet so one gets the best of both worlds.

This hotel was very clean. The room we had overlooking the castle was fabulous. Restaurant very good on the top floor overlooking Kraków. Meal was excellent value for money. Staff were polite and spoke very good English. I did contact the hotel before arriving and they organised trips to Auswitcz, and ok'd town/Jewish quarter which was fascinating. They also organised airport transfers which were in a new vehicle, and well on time and well signed. I cannot rate this hotel too highly. I would certainly stay here again.
