What guests mention

lovely hotel jewish quarter wawel castle old town great location the main square minute walk recommend this hotel air con scrambled eggs checking out reception staff

Guests tend to rate this as a smart, peaceful base for discovering Krakow, with Wawel, the Old Town and major sights conveniently close. They like the well-kept interiors, high standards of cleanliness and comfortable rooms, while the friendly reception team earns frequent appreciation for making stays run smoothly. Many consider the overall price fair for such a convenient address. The main reservations are practical rather than serious: certain rooms feel tight or overly warm, and bar prices can seem steep compared with options elsewhere in the city.

About Leonardo Boutique Hotel Krakow Old Town

Leonardo Boutique Hotel Krakow Old Town brings a polished, intimate feel to a heritage four-floor building near Wawel. Its contemporary interiors, calm atmosphere and glass-covered courtyard make a welcome retreat after Krakow’s cobbled streets, while climate control and a lift add useful modern comfort. There are 100 rooms, along with a restaurant and two meeting rooms.

The hotel sits on Św. Gertrudy Street at the edge of the Old Town, beside Wawel Hill. It is a handy base for exploring the castle, Main Square and the city’s historic lanes on foot, with the Jewish Quarter also within easy reach. It suits a short city break particularly well: central enough to keep sightseeing simple, yet removed from the busiest pedestrian routes.

Guests regularly praise the attractive design, serene feel and notably clean rooms and shared spaces. Reception is often singled out for being welcoming and ready to help, and many visitors feel the hotel represents a sensible choice for its address. The rooms are generally considered cosy and thoughtfully supplied, though some guests find them on the compact side or say they can become too warm. A few also feel drinks at the hotel bar are expensive.
