Piano Guest House - Krakow

Attractive interior; breakfast was good; staff was very nice, helpful, and hospitable. The surrounding area was off-putting but once inside it became less of a concern.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I had booked a room for 2, but then my other son joined us. They were very accomodating in changing rooms for us. Rooms were somewhat small, but we had 3 beds, so can be expected. Had a great breakfast in the morning. Great location. Would stay here again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

a small, artistic place, in an "interesting" location = not the best. Staff is amazing, breakfast was a delight. you know it is run by artists by the decor in the room: impressionistic painitings of faces, overall, high attention to detail.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Really nice old house with original wood floors. The hosts speak very good English and are very helpful. It is close to the highway so can be a bit noisy but the double windows block it out if it is not too hot. Short walk to the main public square.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Me and my girlfriend stayed for a week at Piano Guest House in February, 2011. We spent three days in one room, which was ok, and then moved to another, even better one. The HOUSE is two-storied, built in the end of 19-th century and renovated recently. It's old-fashioned, and its charm stems from the fact. There are lots of wooden furniture in the […] rooms; the walls are decorated with paintings and old photographs. Generally, place gives you the feeling of warmth, coziness and hospitality. Actually it looks more like a family house than a hotel. LOCATION. Near the highway and not exactly in the city center. But only five minutes away (by feet) from railway and bus stations, which is very convenient for those who plan to visit some places outside Krakow (for example, Wieliczka Salt Mine, Auschwitz Concentration Camp or other Polish cities). City center is some twenty minutes away. Also there is a large shopping mall near the railway station. ROOMS are comfortable, they were cleaned everyday. No TV or AC - no problem for us, but take that into account. Bathrooms were ok, nothing special to mention. Tasty BREAKFAST was served in the comfortable dining-room from 8 a.m. (you can make a request for a specific time - up until 2 p.m.) There is also a small room on the first floor with a coffee machine, a kettle and a microwave oven, all available 24h. OWNERS are absolutely amazing! Very helpful, hospitable and cheerful. Don't miss a chance to chat with them. )) RECOMMENDED! Read more

Ideal place to stay if visiting Krakow. Just a short fifteen minute walk and you are in the centre of town. It's also close to the bus and rail station if you are travelling into Krakow from the airport. This is a family run guesthouse and you are really well looked after. If you want to go on any trips they will be booked for you and you get picked […] up from the door. The start of every day begins with the superb breakfast. A great place to stay. Read more

I chose this on basis of other reviews. It is pleasant enough but a little lacking in space. The shower struggled to get beyond warm, but otherwise no gripes. The owners are friendly and helpful, breakfast was plentiful and no pressure to finish.

nice people, and the breakfast was wonderful. ten minute walk to the train and bus station, which when you know your bearings it is ideal.

Great breakfasts catering for all tastes. Comfortable beds, good shower. Limited hanging space for clothes but sufficient for short stay. Some road/train noise in front rooms if window open. Subway waling route into Krakow felt safe and we were soon in the centre. Some excellent recommendations for places to go and places to eat from our hostess. Take […] your own hairdryer. Read more

This is a uniquely Polish guest house. It is like a large French Chateau with many rooms, old paintings on the walls and elegant furniture. The owner who runs it did her very best to make our stay comfortable and help us in every way. The breakfast was particularly unique including a range of Polish berries and cheeses. We were a family and comfortable. […] Although this guest house seems a little out of the centre of town it was not really and within walking distance.

The Piano Guest Hotel is a superbly run place and with great atmosphere. Breakfast comparable with a 5 star hotel.The proprietor speaks English and French. The location of the hotel is its only dissapointment.

Bad location - obviously this is no fault of the owner as the property has been in the family for over a century, overlooking a freeway and railway line in a shabby location. The bath towels always felt "greasy".

15 min. walk from center of town through the large shopping mall KRAKOWSKI. Maybe not the most optimal surroundings when situated close to main station and road - little noisy but quiet in the night.

We had a comfortable old style room with our own bathroom. Breakfast was very generous and any time we arrived back at the Piano from our wanderings around Krakow, the lovely owner would always make us a cup of tea, English style! The Piano as it's name suggests, is owned by a musician, Ola, and classical music floats gently through the two story building. The […] only drawback is that it took a while to get our bearings but it's really only 10 minutes walk to either the train or auto bus station and around 20 minutes schlep to the Old Market Square. We loved the old fashioned family atmosphere and will be back again next year. Read more

What a fantastic find! So often, city hotels are anonymous dull affairs, but not so with this charming guest house. Owned by brothers and formerly their family home, this guest house feels more like visiting the home of a friend. The bedrooms are roomy and individually decorated and the public areas downstairs are eclectic and charming. Breakfast was […] plentiful and set us up for a day's site seeing in Krakow. Our hosts spoke excellent English and were extremely helpful with restaurant and trip recommendations. We had to leave early on the last morning to catch our flight and were made a wonderful breakfast to have on route to the airport. This guesthouse is not right in the centre of the Krakow but it's location shouldn't put people off as within a fifteen minute walk you can be in the town square. If you are arriving by car the entrance to the hotel can be confusing and you will need a detailed map to navigate into the little road where the guesthouse is situated to avoid going round the complicated road system several times as we did!! I would definitely stay here again and if you like the unusual and memorable this guest house should be high on your list. Read more

This hotel is very close to Old Town. It was great to stay in, first of all a beautifully renovated home that was charming. The proprietors were fantastic, very friendly, couldn't do enough for you.

This hotel has the feel of a guest house - intimate and welcoming. We were given tea, cake and lots of information about Krakow when we arrived, including how to find certain museums, a range of restaurants and the best way to walk into the city centre. It is situated on the 'wrong side' of the railway tracks but we never felt the subway was a problem […] at night - the area was very quiet. Our room was clean and the beds if not new were comfortable although after all our walking I would have slept well on most mattresses! Breakfast was an excellent buffet with a range of cold meat, soft cheeses, salad and gherkins as well as breads and jams. Because we had to leave for the airport, we were given breakfast early - our hostess (who did not seem to have any other help for the 3 days we were there) would hear of us going without a small petit dejeuner! We would stay there again if (when) we revisit. Read more

A great place to go! Clean, comfortable rooms, a short walk from the main station complex with knowledgeable owners who really do know the city. Right, let me get the bad things out of the way first. The area surrounding the location is a bit dumpy, but as it is just a place to crash, this is not a problem. Now for the rest. A wonderful welcome, good […] breakfasts, all located in a great building which has been wonderfully restored. The owners will really go out of their way to make sure your stay is comfortable, and the information they provide on Krakow and the surrounding area makes this a great base. They really do know what they are talking about and if not, they will look it up, everything from train times to opening hours of local churches. And for the price, it is well worth it! I cannot recommend this place enough, one of the best guest houses I have stayed in. If I ever go back to Krakow, I will stay here again - now that is a recommendation! Read more

My parents and I visited Poland in November and the hotel was lovely.

This was a perfectly decent place to stay with friendly staff and a wonderful breakfast. To address other comments about the location- yes, it is near a motorway, but it wasn't noisy at all.

My partner and I visited Krakow for the second time at the end of October and I booked the Piano guest house through Expedia. I have never written a hotel review before but we were so impressed that we wanted to share this with others!

Made us feel very welcome...tea on arrival! Lots of information provided on things to see and do. Places to eat that were recommended, proved to be good value for money as well as good food.

Easy route from the main Bus station - Hotel. The bus station is conveniently the last stop on the bus route from the Airport. Once you have your bairings it takes no longer than 10 mins to get to the Hotel. Hotel - Centre about 20mins sometimes longer, especially if you look at the sights on route or even do some shopping in the Shopping Mall. Very […] Friendly staff that go all out to help you enjoy your stay, Hotel is an old fashioned style house, with creaking staircases leading to your room. Breakfast provided in the morning, is a mixture of different breads, cured meats, fruit, cereals, yoghurt and an endless supply of Tea and Coffee.

We were looking for a cheap but convenient place to stay in Krakow and happened upon the Piano Guest House. While it took a little finding at first, and the area surrounding the hotel is not the most attractive (it is just behind a main road out of the city and the overall block is a tad dilapidated), we can have absolutely no complaints about the hotel. […] Inside, it is clean, spacious and attractive and, despite the close proximity of road and railway, quiet. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the breakfast spread was fantastic- fresh breads, cheese, ham, jams, fruit, tea, juice etc. The staff were very friendly and helpful and made sure my partner and I had a fantastic stay. I could not recommend the Piano Guest House more, and all for such a low price! Read more

A wonderful, clean and charming character guest house. The staff were extremely accommodating, helpful and friendly. A pleasure to stay at the property. The best touches included a very large, brekafast, coffee/tea on a regular basis was offered (in to the price) at no trouble. Also a fairly good location in a quiet area, (which appears a little run […] down and rustic). If you can see through that you will find a gem. Much better than a generic hotel where you are just a number. Local tips were also given by the owner's son that many tourists may not know. A true taste of Poland. Good value. I would definately recommend. Only one slight impefection, no air conditioning, which can make sleeping hard when hot. (Hey, nothing is perfect). Read more

Das Haus ist ganz alt, wundervoll saniert und innen sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Überall stehen alte Möbel, vom Frühstücksraum aus hat man einen traumhaften Blick in einen wilden Garten.

Leider hatten wir ein Zimmer nach vorne raus. Da das Haus direkt an der Autobahn und der Eisenbahn liegt, ist es sehr laut. Man kann nicht mit offenem Fenster schlafen. Wir hörten aber von anderen Gästen, dass die Zimmer hinten raus ruhig sind. Von daher unbedingt ein Zimmer nach hinten raus buchen. Dann ist ein Aufenthalt in diesem schönen Haus unbedingt empfehlenswert. Auch wenn der Fußweg in die Stadt (ca. 10 Minuten) entlang der Autobahn verläuft. Read more
