There is a Biedronka across the street, and a little further down the street is a very nice movie theater and a mall. These are seperate buildings but its a very fast 8 minute walk--mostly flat with a slight incline. Its directly across the way from the water park which is not attached to the motel. Parking is gated and plenty of it across the street as well. I assume it gets very busy for summer. The fees for dogs, parking and room all add up but it was still convenient and not far outside of Old Town. We did not mind driving into Old Town...but parking is hard to find in Krakow center. The hotel staff was nice. Check-in had some complications with the fees but she figured it out quickly. The beds, unfortunately were not comfortable. We could barely sleep. I did enjoy the windows above the beds though. It was very warm so having a window with airflow above our bed was so nice to have and it wasn't noisy at night. Blackout drapes didn't work very well but it wasn't terrible. It is outdated and needs some cosmetic repair.

I am in Poland on a program and we have stayed in 2 hotels as of now. The first one being the…read moreholiday inn. Turning into the parking lot of the hotel I was surprised to see the letter "I" was not lit up as the rest of the word swing. I read "Sw ng" and it should've read "Swing." I was skeptical at first and it didn't help that one of the two elevators was out. It was a struggle to get around 250 people upstairs with luggage and carry ons while using one elevator. Once we got onto the elevator and into our rooms it was a very comfortable room for two people. There were two twin sized beds and my friend being a little taller had his feet poking off the other end of the bed. Further, he is over 6 feet and the bed went up to his shins. Rather low for tall people, and guaranteed for knee pain regardless of the amount of REM sleep you get. Overall my stay at the swing hotel was quite average and would say if you are looking for a hotel in Poland to consider it...towards the bottom of your list. Have a nice day!!

The do have a garden area which is shaded and fairly small. What I love about this is that when they have a small band playing you have to walk between the band members to get back inside from the garden. The bar is small and very basic with just a couple of staff. The night I went they ran out of change so we all had to use our cards to pay LOL It is the kind of place you could take a loved one for an intimate drink as you do feel very hidden away. However before you get carried away with your loved one the seats aren't that hidden so not naughtiness please.

Great location. Great for 1 drink but the place is just way too small. They have great music there…read moreat times but only 15 people can watch a band comfortably. When 30 people are there it becomes unbearable.

Somewhat of a trendsetter, seemingly every bar now in Krakow resembles Pauza to some extent. It was THE place to be for many years, the hidden bar that everyone knows about. A legend, basically. If you're a foreign visitor you should definitely stop by and have a drink, just so you can claim to have visited Pauza.
