La Fontaine Bed & BreakfastEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The friendly La Fontaine Bed and Breakfast is one of the few Krakow hotels actually on Rynek Główny (the Main Market Square).

The property’s 30 rooms, which sleep one to four people, are comfy. Lots of light make the sloped-ceiling rooms feel open and airy. Bright red bedspreads and velvety throw pillows make them vibrant and fun. Yellow table lamps—either from or inspired by Ikea—and wall-to-wall red carpets maintain color intensity. All are air-conditioned and equipped with satellite television.

Design is more or less modern, a theme that continues in the bathrooms. Rooms have bathtubs and lovely black and white grid tiles. There are also apartments available, which sleep anywhere from two to 10 people.

Floor layouts at the La Fontaine are a bit confusing at first. Rooms open along a hallway and have corresponding lounge areas across the hall. These areas have refrigerators and couches. They're private but not locked up. Those who have over-the-top fantasies of waking up to look over Rynek Główny should request square-facing quarters in advance.

Breakfast is included. The property also has a common kitchen and Internet access points. Visitors should note that the La Fontaine has many stairs and no elevator.
