Sitting on the edge of splurge-worthy EuroCheapo territory, Hotel Wawel is a cut above most Krakow accommodations: Amenities, location, and ambiance all put it ahead of the pack. And unlike some of our other favorite hotels in Krakow, Hotel Wawel is a hotel whose grandeur is current, not faded. This fact is all the more impressive given that the property Hotel Wawel inhabits has served as a hotel since the early 19th century.
Rooms are decorated in a genuinely elegant key, full of rusts and browns. Ceiling lights and flat-panel televisions add a dimension of cool. Bathrooms are also quite nice. Earth-tone tiling, mirrored inset shelving, bathtubs, and attractive detail work all make bathrooms so pleasant you could be forgiven for entertaining the prospect of spending some serious time in them. Minibars can only be found in deluxe rooms, however most rooms have safes.
In addition to the refined style of the reception and the recently renovated rooms, there are lots of kitsch touches at Hotel Wawel. To wit: the theatrical smoke emanating from a fountain in the hotel's rear courtyard. Backlit with alternating bright colors, it's the sort of design detail that wouldn't be out of place at a 1986 Poison concert.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the Hotel Wawel neighborhood
Stare Miasto forms the heart of Old Krakow. Encircled by a greenbelt park and bookended by Wawel (Castle) Hill at its south and the Florian Gate at its north, Krakow's Old Town is dizzyingly full of sights. At the center of Stare Miasto is Rynek Glowny, or the Main Market Square, the biggest medieval city square in all of Europe. Stare Miasto is so chock full of historically significant buildings that it feels a bit like an open-air museum. Among the many highlights: St. Andrew's Church, a Romanesque church that dates back to the 11th Century, Rynek Glowny's magnificent 16th-century Cloth Hall, and the Wawel Castle and Cathedral. There are plenty of swank cafes and folksy restaurants to provide a break from the tourist action. Many of Krakow's hotels can also be found in Stare Miasto, in particular north of Rynek Glowny.
