Spectacular place to stay - In the centre
This was one of my favourite trips to Poland thanks to this beautiful hotel. Lovely architecture and the service was impeccable. The room was HUGE, comfy beds and underheated bathroom floor was a lovely touch. The spa is gorgeous - and was empty for the duration of our stay. Only downfall was that the pool was very cold (but we got used to it after 5ish mins in)

Super find.
Absolute terrific find. Really large twin room- lovely style furniture, very modern bathroom, very comfortable bed, great l'occitane toiletries. Little pool and sauna to use with soft towels and dressing gowns and slippers available. Staff extremely polite and helpful. All in all an absolutely great stay. Only slight disappointment was there wasn't a bar but you only needed to venture outside for an enormous choice available to you.

5/5 stars for Hotel Copernicus!
We had a 3 day stay at the hotel and were met with nothing but pleasant smiles and helpful people. From the moment we came in until we left people have been very accommodating, went out of their way to help us and made us feel like royalties.

Copernicus is a wonderful quiet boutique at the foot of the Wawel Castle and at the entrance to the old town. It is unique in its effortless combination of old and new charm in architecture, room design and cuisine. Loved staying there!

Lovely hotel in a historic part of the city. The interior is beautifully decorated to match the history. We had a room on the top floor at the back so didn’t have much of a view out our small window but the room itself was perfect. The bed was big enough and the bathroom was a good size. We got a room with a shower but we know other rooms had baths. We didn’t get to choose at booking but it wasn’t a problem for us. We also made use of the spa facilities and always had the place to ourselves which we loved.
