“Our Experience of The 'Grand'”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

My husband and I are a mature couple. We chose Krakow because we enjoy walking about exploring in the winter time. However, what we did not plan for was spending our 5 days in Poland during one of the coldest weeks of the year. It was around -21 - 25 each day.

Not to be deterred we ventured out but not for long!

So glad we booked this hotel. It was wonderful, absolutely stunning and really regal!

The staff were remarkable and could not do enough to help us or make our stay perfect. The food in the hotel was lovely, especially the varied breakfast. Once again the staff in the restaurant were incredible!

The sauna was a bonus especially this week.

We strongly advise using the hotel driver Daniel for trips to Auschwitz etc. He was a perfect guide and it felt like having our own chauffeur.

The only 'niggle' was our room no. 15 (which was stunning) was situated facing the night club so Friday and Saturday nights were very noisy. Ear plugs recommended.

We could not praise the staff enough for making our trip so memorable. Les and Bruce

Room Tip: There are no real views from this hotel so should we go again we would ask for an inside facing room...

“Great hotel, great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The hotel is right in the centre of the old town, just a couple of minutes walk from the main square. Plenty of bars, coffee shops and restaurants nearby. And a nice little bakery just up the street.

Our room was very spacious, clean, comfortable and warm. The bathroom was a little on the small side, but adequate. The rest of the hotel was pleasant - old style furnishings, but with a clean modern feel. Service was very friendly.

Like some of the other reviewers, I'm not sure it's quite 5 star luxury, but nevertheless a very good hotel. Good value too.

“Great hotel close to old square”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

Stayed here with my sister for a lecture by Norman Davis, the reason we chose this hotel was the great location, it is located very close to the historic city center.

We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful, they showed us to our room and explained all the amenities that the rooms offered.

Like many others have mentioned the hotel has a lot of marble, which helps give it a special atmosphere. Our room was nice and large, as was the bathroom. The beds were comfortable, perhaps the view from the room could have been a little better.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to live close to the city center.

“Certainly a good hotel… but the word ‘Grand’ can mislead expectations.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

When you say ‘The Grand’, you think of luxury and flamboyance. Well, there are many things missing here that you would expect from a 5 star hotel.
That said, it’s plush old style interiors, welcoming staff and cozy rooms make it a nice place to stay. It’s also a pleasantly unique experience.
It’s in the heart of the touristy town square, where all the action is. They have a small breakfast spread, but good eats.
If you have the time, you can simply walk to many of the tourist attractions, like the famous church, the castle, etc.
