Lovely hotel although, no kettle or drink making facilities . I chose this because it said it had a coffee shop and bar, We are of an age where after a day of walking and sightseeing we just want to relax with a drink before bed. We did not find either or were told by hotel staff of such facilities. Slightly disappointed with this.
We also asked to change room after first night because the trams pass by every 5-10 mins from 4.30/5am till 11pm and are so noisy. Luckily they accommodated us.

The hotel is perfect for a stay in Krakow. It was clean, comfortable, reasonably priced and breakfast was included. The staff were friendly and helpful giving suggestions for restaurants which were all good.
The hotel is well placed for both the Old Town and Jewish Quarter. I would happily recommend this hotel and we would definitely use it again.

I had a great stay at the Columbus, a gem of a hotel cloae tonthe Jewish Quarter with some well priced restaurants around. I loved my room, clean, comfortable and quiet with a nice little balcony facing the rear of the building and the air conditioning was very welcome in the hot weather.
There was an excellent breakfast available every morning with plenty of options. One of the receptionists also very kindly helped me outvwith planning a day trip to Wroclaw.
Thus is my thrid teip to Krakow and this has been the best hotel I have stayed in and i hope to return here next time around.

Excellent location for the Old Town (10min walk) Jewish Quarter (1min walk), trams on the doorstep and river 5 mins away. Stay on the upper floors if you can as noise from street (cars/trams) could be a nuisance. When the windows are closed you can hardly hear a thing and the air conditioning takes care of the heat issue. Simple but efficient breakfast was welcome in the morning. No bar to speak of but drinks available to be consumed in the outside area. Overall a relatively cheap, clean, well located hotel. Would definitely recommend.

The hotel was very well placed for the Jewish quarter with plenty of dining options close by. Old town was just a 20 minute walk. Being on a busy street means keeping the windows shut because of tram noise and also restricts taxi pick ups. My only complaint about the hotel was a "sweaty" sleep, due I suspect to a plastic mattress cover.
