A girlfriend and I spent 3 glorious days based at the Stary, in snowy Krakow. Great Location, just off the main square around the corner from the Cloth Hall - Amber and silver paradise.. Amazing spacious suite. Marble-clad bathroom GORGEOUS. Molten Brown toiletries. Yum yum. Only fault was smell from spa bath. Needed a good clean as jets had become... More

We absolutely loved it. It is extremely beautiful, perfect location and wonderful fitness center. And the staff couldn't have been more helpful and just plain nice. So sad it is so far away. I would love to stay there again and would recommend it to all. Definitely worth the extra.

If you are heading to Krakow on business try this quirky modernistic hotel. it's built in the remains of an old family home just off the main square in Krakow, so a great location. English speaking and very friendly staff, good breakfast and modern minimalist interior e.g glass roofed lounge area, lounging roof top area for the summer, spa bath... More

Amazing hotel (one of three of the same owners, with Copernicus and Pod Roza) - old style proprety, nicely refurbished, walking distance from main square. Beautiful rooms and outstanding spa so make sure you have some time to enjoy it. During summer time there is also a great bar on the to floor, with nice view on the sourrandings. More... More

Lovely hotel. Very close to main square in old town. Looks nothing from the outside but inside is a very different story. Staff very helpful, everywhere spotless. Room large and comfortable. Food was amazing. Pool and spa area where great but pool a little chilly. Would be really nice in the summer months but a little pricey I think.

Stayed 6 nights at Stary while in Krakow. Got a suite during easter (400+ per night). Rates drop significantly after Easter which is a very big deal in catholic poland. Pros of Stary... Exceptional location right of market square; amazing restaurant (definitely upscale); great spa with dry sauna and steam room (relatively cheap massages - less than 80 usd for... More

Hotel with style and character, though rooms were a bit sterile for our taste (but extremely spacious). We had a delightful dinner: beautiful setting and a great menu with creative interpretations of Polish food such as beetroot risotto. Breakfast was heavenly! We enjoyed the pool but the water was quite chilly. Definitely recommend having a massage in the salt grotto.... More

My wife and I travelled to Krakow last Christmas for the first time and were recommended by a friend to stay here. It certainly was a good tip - fantastic location, spacious room and bathroom, great bed, and we used the massage service in the health club which was one of the best I have ever had.

Fantastic location within walking distance of key sights including Cloth Hall, Wavel Castle, and tram ride to Kazimierz old Jewish Quarter. High ceilings, spa bath and spacious room...unbelievable pool and spa below the hotel...tranquil and exotic. Great breakfast and good service. Perfect stay. Recommended.

We were staying in Hotel Stary for the weekend for our friend's wedding. The hotel is just amazing and staff helpful and welcoming. We had some amazing breakfast.
