Hotel Santi, Krakow

Request a rear or courtyard-facing room to reduce tram and traffic noise, especially if you are a light sleeper; front rooms have better street views.

Request a rear-facing room to avoid tram noise; rear rooms overlook the courtyard, patio, or car park and may hear church bells instead.

Request a first- or second-floor room and avoid the third or top floor if possible; sloped ceilings, Velux windows, and limited headroom can be inconvenient.

Choose a front-facing room only if you value old-town views and can tolerate tram and bar noise.

Bring earplugs and an eye mask if tram noise or bright rooms may disturb your sleep.

Bring or use earplugs if you book a front room; the hotel provides them.

Choose a front room for the best street view if tram noise does not bother you.

Request air conditioning in summer; most rooms lack it, although large windows and fans are provided and top-floor rooms reportedly have air conditioning.

Choose room 107 for a large, quiet double room with a bathtub and deluxe amenities.

Book a deluxe room for substantially more space, particularly when traveling with children.

Ask for room 301 for a particularly quiet rear-facing stay.

Consider room 207 for a large, quiet rear-facing room.

Request room 106 for a spacious, quiet room with attractive wooden beams.

Consider room 101 for a large room, but expect a front-facing position and possible tram noise.

Use the hotel as a base for Krakow’s Old Town, with restaurants close by.

Watch for trams when leaving through the front door, where the pavement is narrow and the tracks pass close by.

Pre-book attractions when possible, or use GetYourGuide for the Zelapie day tour and city tour.

Request a third-floor room if air-conditioning is important during summer.

Ask for room 107, especially when booking a deluxe room, for original beams, frescoes, and historic character.

Avoid the top floor if you are taller than 5 feet, as the ceiling may be restrictive.

Request room 205 for a well-regarded second-floor front room.

Expect room 204 to be large, but keep the window closed to limit tram noise from the main road.

Admire the hotel’s historic architectural features during your stay.

Use the stairs to reach the bar because the lift does not go down that far.

Store your luggage at the hotel after the 10am checkout time.

Ask the hotel for an ironing board and iron if needed.

Enter through the rear entrance if using a wheelchair, because the heritage-listed front access is difficult.

Use Uber instead of local taxis; local taxis may cost much more.

Visit the spectacular church next door.

Book private tours if you prefer a more worthwhile, personalized experience.

Book the Auschwitz-Birkenau and Salt Mine tours; both are considered must-see excursions.

Allow extra time for kitchen service when the small kitchen cupboard is busy.

Stock extra bottles of water in the mini-fridge before going out.

Bring a bottle opener because the room water bottles have metal caps.

Book well in advance because the hotel fills up early.

Request the rear second-floor suite for a quieter stay.

Ask for a double bed if you do not want twin beds.
