We highly recommend the Globtroter for visitors to Krakow." | Joan and Fred

| | "Found Globtroter on Cracow Life and Rick Steves. I usually take excess praise with a grain of salt, but in June of 2009 Globtroter lived up to the compliments. Location is excellent, one street from the main line of restaurants and grand hotels. Peter was excellent at assisting everything from side trips to WiFi computer access. If you plan to do Auschwitz, remember it is a bit of a trek. Peter offered us a tour and Marek was the most patient of drivers. Note about Auschwitz: the camps are free to the world but the locals that run tours onsite are more than a bit biased. I would trust Globtroter & Krakow for a stress free, romantic getaway. (Polish food was actually less expensive and better quality than our next stop--Paris." | Patrick

The staff were untiringly helpful, and the balcony would have been a heavenly place to have breakfast if only the rain permitted. I don't suppose even the nice Globtroter staff could have helped that though...." | Pat

There is a communal fridge which is very handy and my children used the free internet. We used taxi transfers and trips organised by the hotel which was completely hassle-free. Only slight negative was that one of the drivers was a bit crazy with his driving and didn't get the air-con running enough for us in the back of the VW minibus in 26 degrees of heat.If you want a friendly and good value hotel within a 2 minute walk of central Krakow, then look no further." | Thomson family

We had talked to three separate groups of people who had stayed in Krakow, on or near Market Square, and all had complained about the noise, This place is very quiet. .The only real negative comment we have is from the Auschwitz tour we took through the Globtroter. It was supposed to be for 8 people and somehow ended up being for 9, which meant 4 of us were jammed into the back seat of a VW van--a tight fit for the hour and a half ride each way. Otherwise, we want to clone this place somehow." | BWalnut

It was a delight to have everything one needed and nothing one didn't! Tea and coffee in the room was so welcome (so rare in European hotels). Great to have a fridge for storage and a library of English books! The staff are astonishingly bi-lingual and totally helpful and welcoming. The location so near the Rynek Glowny was the crowning glory. We could reach everything we wanted to see on foot and were only minutes away from excellent restaurants and wonderful shops and markets. I will recommend you to my friends, as well as mentioning the very luxurious apartment you also have available at a very reasonable price. Thank you!" | Caroline Sherwood

My room was perfectly situated, balcony - lots of space for everything, well serviced and quiet. The central heating was magnificient - winds, rain and snow and the place was so warm - I had to turn it off and was still cosy! One suggestion - eco washing powder for the linen..

I wouldn't even consider staying anywhere else. I've gone to Krakow on my own and with friends, and every time it has been to Globtroter. The hotel itself ticks all the boxes and deserves every praise, but what makes the place so very special is the staff. As a travel journalist I spend a lot of nights in hotels with umpteen stars after their names, but the real stars at the cheap and cheerful Globtroter are the staff. No exaggeration, they are the friendliest, most knowledgeable and most helpful I have ever known, and my friends in Belfast and Dublin agree." | Tom Sweeney

The staff would even chat with me about Krakow, Polish culture and give me information on places to see and what to do and how to save money in doing it.
If you stay in Krakow stay here. Spotless rooms, beautiful building, the great staff make this place a gem and a home.
The rooms are clean as a whistle, the building, halls and reception are clean, warm and smell of poutpori makes for a welcome difference from the sterlile and souless feeling of your standard hotel or hostel. I noticed care in every detail - including a towel warmer in my room, a fantastic shower and laundry service.
This place is a winner!
