זזקי כהןSimply an excellent hotel in a great location, 4 minutes drive from the airport with shuttle service back and forth, excellent staff, normal and good breakfast for dinner, nice menu, all in all, really excellent
UUrszula ZiółkowskaA wonderful, cozy apartment in the very heart of Zakopane, a few steps from Krupówki and other attractions. It's very convenient both for hiking and skiing, as it is very easy to get from there to Tatra Mountains trails and ski lifts. Also, a very helpful lady at the main reception desk. I would gladly return to this place.
GGuest UserEverything was great during my stay. The hotel was very comfortable and the service was excellent.
The only thing that was not entirely clear to me is how the security deposit will be refunded. I would like to know how the refund process works and how long it usually takes to receive the amount that was requested upon arrival.
和和哥愛你Nice hotel, clean, very good breakfast.
A night without a good sleep
On March 29, there was a quarrel in the next room 202 all night.
As soon as I entered the room, my next door neighbor started.
Originally, the two drunk people were happily chatting and singing in the room, but then a few more people came in and started shouting loudly, which lasted for about two hours before they left. midnight……
1:15 someone came in
At 4:50, a man came in, started taking a shower, and began talking.
The strange thing is that I don’t get drunk.
The room is not soundproofed and I can hear it very clearly.
GGuest UserI really liked the Columbus Hotel. It's just a few minutes' walk from Grzegorzki train station, which is the next stop after the main station Rynek, coming from the airport. I was in a twin room with a balcony, bathtub, fridge, complimentary water, toiletries. Lovely, bright and clean, comfy beds and nice bedding. Breakfast was delicious. The scrambled egg and little sausages were so tasty. The cakes were lovely with coffee afterwards. Also cereal, meats, cheese, fruit, yoghurt and breads and juices. Lovely and quiet, never heard a sound from other guests in their rooms. A real calm and relaxed vibe. There's also an outdoor seating area and a shop across the road. The tram stops are just to the side and are so easy and frequent. Ticket machines are at the stop, or you can pay on board. Don't forget to validate your ticket. Great base for exploring the Jewish quarter and ghetto, Schindler Factory Museum and don't miss the Plaszow guided tour, a highlight so far. Tram 3 and 24 takes you there from outside hotel and coats 4 zlotys. They are in the process of building a museum there, so it's going to be much busier in the future. Go now while its not as well known. I would definitely return to Columbus hotel, an excellent choice, enjoy!

*Lovely spacious rooms with nicely refurbished bathrooms.
*The breakfast area looks presentable with a fairly decent selection.
*Bottled water is provided daily, you just have to make sure you hang the sign to request to clean the room.
*Hotel is centrally located right by the square. It’s near grocery stores, restaurants, donut/pastry shops & souvenir shops.
CONS
*The carpets “looked” dirty & old, not very pleasing to look at but they’re not - just gives that impression!
*The main downside for me is the noise. Our room was facing the front which is where pedestrians walk through to the square. Earplugs were supplied by Hotel but they didn’t make a difference. There were loud revellers until 4:30am daily, then once that ends, the delivery trucks & refuse collectors pass through which were just as loud! Needless to say I didn’t get a full night sleep for 4 nights.
Overall, it’s a clean & very reasonably priced hotel. May I also add we are a group that booked 4 rooms. 2 rooms were in the quiet side but the other 2 were in the noisy part. Not all rooms are the same. However, if you can sleep through anything then this wouldn’t be as much of an issue as it was for me.
EEdgar Aguilar DiazFive star rating 😊
The room was cleaned and tidy, and had a modern decoration. The staff are all accommodating and very helpful in providing you information about the City (krakow). Most of the stuff are very friendly and I almost felt I was home the way I was accommodated and treated.
Overall, I highly recommend the place. Superb experience😊👍🏻🫶🏻
りりょうちゃんのママGoogle Maps says it's an 18-minute walk from the central station, but it actually takes less than 10 minutes. It's located in the old town, and all the sights are within walking distance. The breakfast had a great variety and was delicious. The restaurant recommended by the front desk was also excellent. Some of the front desk staff had strong accents which made them a bit difficult to understand at times, but there were usually two people working, and one was always fluent, so it wasn't an issue. There's no fridge or safe box, but the room was clean and quiet.
GGuest UserIt's about a 5-minute walk from Krakow Central Station, and about a 10-minute walk from Krakow's Old Town, and other tourist attractions are within walking distance.
There's a convenience store just a 1-minute walk away. The building is old, as it's close to the Old Town. The staff are cheerful and friendly.
I also went to the Auschwitz Concentration Camp Museum and the Weliczka Salt Mine, so I would be using Krakow Central Station as a base for sightseeing, so it was important that the hotel was close to the station. I decided on this hotel because it was the best value for money.
It turned out to be a good choice.
By the way, there is no air conditioning or refrigerator. This is common in Europe.
GGuest UserThe hotel is well situated in the old quarter. Very convenient for getting around. The tram stop is right out front.
Our room was an odd setup. Twin beds positioned on different walls, more like for college roommates than a couple. The rooms aren't big, but they have kettle, closet, and a compact bathroom. It met our needs, with no extras, e.g., fridge or USB charging plugs.
Breakfast buffet has many options. It caters primarily to European tastes, but there are scrambled eggs and toasts for those who prefer a hot breakfast. The coffee options are plentiful and there were several types of tea. At $25CDN per person, we found it on the high side.
Tip: On arriving at the hotel we were faced with a long flight of stairs. With 2 large suitcases, it was a bit daunting. However, if you follow the sidewalk to the other side there is a ramp. Definitely a better option for people with bad knees or heavy bags.
