Daniel Griffin Aparthotel, Krakow

Request a room away from the main road or at the back if you are a light sleeper; trams and traffic can run late.

Request a top-floor room to reduce tram and traffic noise.

Request room 44 for a double bed, small balcony, and views toward the castle and Old Town Square.

Choose a lower floor if stairs are difficult; the small lift only reaches level 4, and reception is on the first floor.

Request a balcony room for city views, and keep the windows closed for better quiet.

Bring earplugs and close the windows to limit tram and traffic noise.

Use the hotel as a sightseeing base: the Square is about a 15-minute walk away, with local shops, the Old Town, and the main shopping centre nearby.

Download Bolt before arrival; the first three rides may receive a 40% discount.

Choose a double room rather than an apartment if possible, as the rooms may be nicer; styles vary by room type.

Choose the fourth floor for better views, but check the lift arrangements.

Choose a second-floor room for a private bathroom and kitchen; fourth-floor rooms may share a bathroom and lack a kitchen.

Choose room 52 for a spacious double-bed studio with a fantastic view and a quiet top-floor setting.

Ask to see the room before committing.

Confirm that your booking specifies an ensuite room before arrival.

Check the room size and bathroom arrangement carefully because some cheaper rooms are smaller and share a bathroom.

Choose a front-facing room for more space and city views, but expect more tram noise.

Choose a fifth-floor apartment for extra room.

Choose apartment 11 for extra space, but expect tram noise because it overlooks the tram stop.

Request room 33 for a comfortable stay.

Choose an attic room to avoid noise from trams and cars below.

Phone ahead for the entry code because the front door may be locked on arrival.

Arrive before 10pm.

Book airport transfers in advance to avoid travel-day stress.

Exchange money at the mall’s second floor, past McDonald’s on the right, where the reported rate was 5.1.

Do not rely on having a fridge in the room.

Use nearby cafes after a late flight because there is no communal space at the hotel.

Avoid the three-person non-refundable deposit apartment.
