The restaurants are delicious. The waitress was happy to make recommendations. I was there in July, and it was unusually cold. The waitress recommended a hearty traditional Polish soup that I loved. I found everything to be very reasonably priced, and a great value. There is also a spa onsite that I didn't try. I will next time. Hotel Galicja is a lovely place I would love to return to. If you are looking for accommodations that are close to Auschwitz, this is extremely close. It is only a few minutes by car. The hotel is on the outskirts of Oswiecim.

The only issue I had was that this hotel only has 1 small elevator and it got very busy during morning rush. You sometimes have to wait for next turn because the elevator was full.

Staff attentiveness is highly satisfactory though the young man with whom we checked out with seemed to have had some delays in doing so. It is possible that the young just needs a bit more training? This is one of the two reasons I couldn't give them 5 stars. The other reason is that one of the pillows they provided was stained. I tried to tell the young man and thought I got an "I'm sorry about that," I didn't feel like he understood how that could be gross to a guest. I really liked the layout of the room especially the bathroom and shower. It was quieter than expected considering how close it is to the airport. Its proximity to the train station which takes you to the old town is also convenient. Breakfast selection is wide though we wish they offered oats on top of cereal. The layout of the breakfast area could be better. They also have a water dispenser on every floor which was a nice touch. You could choose between still, sparkling or ambient. They provide a bottle that you could refill with. Overall, I recommend this location.

So lovely to lounge at the bar while the sun goes down! The views were spectacular. I saw Katowice from an entirely new perspective. My Aperol Spritz tasted, as it should. Not watered down! Kudos for that! Everything was immaculately clean. Great quality linen. The staff was courteous and kind. And of course, the location was just perfect. Steps from the heart of the city. It's a real gem in Katowice. Pluses: - Breakfast till 11:00 am - 49-inches tv - Complimentary WIFI 200 Mbps - Air-conditioned rooms - Tea/coffee station with an electric kettle in the room - Efficient blackout - Recently-opened Minuses: - No ice machine on the floor - The AC works rather slow - Not particularly well-soundproofed rooms

I stayed here for a month and I can say that it's a super awesome hotel…read more It's probably easier to begin with flaws as there are not so much of them. First of all, location. It is pretty far from the city center, around 30 minutes by tram. Secondly, wi-fi speed has quiet moderate speed. Also they generate a password of random symbols and digits, and you have to enter this password every time you connect to Internet on every device, and there is no possibility to save it. You have no other options but to remember it for the rest of your life, damn-leave-my-head-already-rrrr Apart from the above, everything else is great. The building is very new and is located in a calm and peaceful region of Krakow, I would stay there further if it wasn't so far from my work :(. The staff is polite and helpful, and speaks excellent English. The tram station is in 100m from the entrance. There are two supermarkets and a restaurant on the first floor, as well as some other shops. Even the smallest rooms have a kitchen, there are also fridge and microwave. And I like the overall style of the room (look at those photos! *_* ) It's possible to rent rooms for long term, the cost for the month was ~2000 pln. It's not so much higher than to rent a good apartment. I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Krakow. Okay, I've vagued for some minutes and changed the rating from 5 stars to 4. Besides two flaws mentioned at the beginning people also complain about food for breakfast and the expensive underground parking. I do not know, didn't try neither of them, but be aware.

We knew we had made a great choice as soon as we arrived; the staff at the small front desk were warm, courteous and helpful. Located on the main square, the hotel sits on the pedestrian mall. Cars are only allowed before 10am, so if you arrive later it'll be a short walk (3 min) to the hotel itself. The entrance is placed between two restaurants, and is easy to miss, so pay close attention to the signage and look up; the sign is above a courtyard entrance. Don't be afraid to ask waiters or other people working in the area for directions, which is what we did. While this is an old building it does have a small elevator which was a pleasant surprise as we had quite a bit of luggage and there are a lot of stairs to get to the rooms. The rooms themselves are "all mod cons". Well appointed, air conditioned, with small kitchenette (plates, glasses, small stove and small fridge). The beds are firm but surprisingly comfortable, which seems a standard feature of Polish hotels. Another quirk in Poland are the duvets - it would appear that queen/king size duvets are hard to come by in this country, so we were given two single duvets for our queen bed (which happened even at the Intercontinental in Warsaw). They are however lovely, fluffy, warm and cozy. The hotel also has a washing machine and dryer available and they will provide you with detergent if you need to do laundry - which is super nice if you've packed light for a long trip. The staff, as we mentioned, were fabulous. Although one of us speaks Polish there would have been no issue if we were both unilingual Anglophones. All the staff spoke fluent English. More importantly they are eager to help with any requests you might have. In our case recommendations on restaurants, directions and help with tours to the Salt Mines and Auschwitz. While we never did this we also found out that some guests would give them a grocery list and cash, and they would go get the requested items for you - outstanding. They were also quite fun to chat up, and we grew quite fond of our hosts. The hotel is located on Krakow's main square, which is surrounded by a beautiful green belt which made for lovely strolls. You'll find lots of restaurant options in the square, as well as some shopping, and marvellous ice cream everywhere you turn. Our favourite food kiosk was just off the square, very near the hotel, serving marvellous potato pancakes with great sauces. We've forgotten the name, but it's easy to find. Take a left from the hotel entrance, walk about 25 meters, and look for the people devouring these yummy pancakes on the small, stand-up tables out front. Perhaps best of all for us is that the Venetian is located near the Jewish Quarter. A 15 minute walk took us to some great restaurants (more funky than what you find in the main square), the popular Zapiekanka stands in the Kazimierz and some great bars. If you're look of for a really funky place to hear great live music while enjoying ridiculously cheap drinks look for Alchemie; for us it was like being in any one of a number of our favourite New Orleans bars/music venues. A great vibe! Another convenient aspect to the location was the short walk to Galleria Krakowski, a popular and fashionable mall. The walk to the mall takes you to a pedestrian underpass with a wonderful fruit stand which became absolutely addictive with their perfect and super-flavourful strawberries and peaches. The mall also has a PLAY store for those of you with an unlocked phone, where you can buy a SIM chip and pay-as-you-go airtime (buy the airtime with your credit card and not at stores... (Long story). Overall the Venetian is a great hotel that we highly recommend.
