This place has more pro's than con's. It was important to us to park our car somewhere off street and Patria proved to be the perfect place with a monitored courtyard behind an iron gate. The reception was 24/7 occupied by helpfull, english speaking staff. It's a 10 minute walk from the old jewish quarter and 20 minutes from the old town, but there's some nice eateries closer by as well. Breakfast is included. Nothing fancy, but enough to get the day started.
As with most Polish rooms, the interior looks like it's from the 1983 Ikea collection. Not really an eye-sore, but nothing pretty either. They are comfortable though and the shared bathrooms are clean and spacious.
I've read other reviews stating that windows in the roof don't open, so it gets insanely hot in summer. This is not true. The windows open like windows usually do so roomtemperature is fine, even on a hot sunny day.
The location, service, breakfast and secure parking Patria offers makes this highly recommended for those looking for a good place in Krakow for a reasonable price.

I had found this place through www.booking.com. This is a small pension we got a room with a bathroom and kitchen. It was about US$60, 00 with a nice breakfast. The room was big and it was very clean. If you are on a budget its prefect

The staff was very kind and helpful (Magda and Joanna), located close the Wisla Lake and close to the Jewish District about 10 min walking close to Oskar Schindler's Amelia factory 10 min walking and about 20 min walking to old town.
