Hotel Alexander II, Krakow

Request a room away from the railway or tram tracks, preferably at the front or left side; rear-facing rooms can be noisy.

Choose a high or fourth-floor room for less train noise, but expect skylight windows in some attic rooms.

Request room 33 for a particularly spacious room, but note that it is close to the railway line.

Request a large room; quieter rooms away from the tracks may be smaller.

Bring earplugs if you are sensitive to train or tram noise.

Request an internal courtyard room for quieter sleep.

Avoid top-floor skylight rooms if you want a conventional view, and check Wi-Fi availability before booking one.

Consider rooms 42 or 43 for good-sized accommodation; room 43 has a modern twin layout, skylights, air conditioning, and a good shower.

Choose a lower or middle-floor room if you prefer standard windows and easier access.

Pay extra to stay closer to the square if central access is important.

Use the lift when choosing a quieter second-floor room.

Consider room 41 for a street-facing room that may be quieter than the railway side.

Book a twin room instead of a double if you want a larger bed.

Avoid rooms numbered 10, 20, 30, 40, and possibly 50 if you want more space.

Avoid rooms adjacent to the elevator because they are the smallest.

Avoid room 30 in winter because tram noise can continue late at night and resume early in the morning.

Avoid room 37 if train noise bothers you because it backs onto the railway tracks.

Exchange money after arrival because local exchange rates may be better.

Book excursions through agents in town for cheaper prices.

Plan drinks elsewhere because the hotel has no bar.

Walk to the main central train station in about three minutes.
