Map & live prices by our partner
The best-value hotels in Krakow are often 3-star properties like Hotel Wyspianski and Hotel Columbus, which hover around 223 PLN and still earn guest ratings north of 8.5. For the full Old Town experience, you'll pay more—5-star addresses like Hotel Saski and Wyndham Grand sit just off the main square and come with prices above 900 PLN. If you want river views and a pool, Qubus Hotel Krakow and Sheraton Grand offer that for a mid-range price, while the quiet greenery of Błonia park makes AC Hotel by Marriott a smart pick for joggers and families.
Staying in the city centre puts you inside the medieval heart of Krakow, where the Main Market Square, St. Mary's Basilica, and the Cloth Hall are all on your doorstep. Expect higher prices here—most central hotels sit between 350 and 500 PLN, though you can still find 3-star deals like Hotel Alexander from 354 PLN. For a splurge, the 5-star Hotel Stary and Wyndham Grand offer rooftop bars and spa facilities just steps from the square, while mid-range options like Hotel Estera and Queen Boutique deliver design-forward comfort without the 5-star price tag.
The Old Town is where most of Krakow's historic hotels live, many in restored tenement houses with original details and modern comforts. Walk out your door and you're within minutes of the Main Square, the Wawel Castle, and the city's best restaurants and bars. Prices are generally higher here—expect to pay from around 400 PLN for a 3-star like Best Western Plus to over 900 PLN for 5-star classics like Hotel Saski. For a mid-range option with a rooftop restaurant and river views, Hotel Pod Wawelem offers a 8.8 rating and a location that's hard to beat.
The highest-rated Old Town hotels here are Hotel Saski (rating 9.1) and Wyndham Grand (rating 9.0), both 5-star properties with spa facilities and prime locations near the main square. If you're looking slightly lower in price, the 4-star Grand Ascot and Metropolitan Boutique Hotel both score a solid 9.0 and come with praised breakfasts and easy access to both the Old Town and Kazimierz. For a touch of history without the 5-star price, Hotel Stary offers a restored building, rooftop bar, and a 9.0 rating from 2,505 reviews.
Kazimierz, the historic Jewish quarter, is one of Krakow's most atmospheric neighbourhoods, packed with synagogues, independent cafes, and the city's liveliest nightlife. While the search volume is modest, hotels here are well-placed for exploring the synagogues and the trendy streets of Szeroka and Nowa. Within our selection, Hotel Columbus and Xerion Hotel (Adults Only) are a short walk away, with Hotel Columbus earning a 8.8 rating from over 3,000 reviews and starting at 223 PLN.
Kraków Główny is the main railway station, and it sits on the edge of the Old Town, so most central hotels are within walking distance. If you're arriving by train, you could stay at the Galaxy Hotel, which is about a 10-minute walk and offers a pool and spa, or the Hilton Garden Inn, just under 10 minutes from the Vistula river and with free parking. Both properties are mid-range 4-stars, with prices starting at 540 PLN and 190 PLN respectively, making them practical bases for a short city break.
Hotel prices in Krakow range from around 86 PLN for the most budget-friendly 3-star options up to 1,135 PLN for top 5-star properties. The typical price you can expect to pay is around 313 PLN per night.
For a first visit, the Old Town is the most convenient area—you can walk to the Main Square, Wawel Castle, and most key sights. The city centre also offers a wide choice of hotels, from budget 3-stars like Hotel Alexander to luxury options like Hotel Saski and Wyndham Grand.
Krakow Airport (KRK) is about 11 km from the city centre. You can take a direct train from the airport to Kraków Główny station, which takes around 20 minutes, or use the dedicated airport shuttle bus. From the station, most central hotels are within a short walk or a quick tram ride.
Krakow is a year-round destination, but you'll typically find lower hotel prices in the winter months (November to March, excluding the Christmas market period). Summer and the Easter weekend see the highest demand, so booking well ahead is advisable if you're visiting then.
Krakow's hotel scene is split between the cobbled lanes of the Old Town, the riverside promenades along the Vistula, and the up-and-coming districts like Kazimierz and Podgórze. Most of the city's best-known properties cluster within a short walk of the Main Market Square, while a handful of larger 4-star and 5-star hotels line the river and the green expanse of Błonia park. You'll find a mix of restored historic buildings with vaulted ceilings and modern glass-and-steel towers, often separated by just a few tram stops.
At the budget end, rooms from around 86 PLN put you in a clean 3-star base a short ride from the centre, while top-end stays like Hotel Saski and Wyndham Grand push past 900 PLN for Old Town addresses with spas and rooftop bars. The typical price for a hotel night here hovers around 313 PLN, which makes even the upper-midrange feel reasonable for what you get. Whether you're here for the castle, the salt mine, or the weekend nightlife, the right hotel is less about finding a good one and more about choosing which part of this compact city you want to wake up in.
This selection of hotels in Krakow suits travellers who want a central location with a range of price points, from budget 3-star rooms to 5-star luxury near the Old Town.
