Request a high-floor room for a quieter stay.
Eat elsewhere for better value; Starbucks is on the corner and a 24-hour convenience store is across the street.
Use the pool from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and the gym 24 hours a day.
Bring a swimsuit for the pool and spa facilities.
Choose a deluxe king room overlooking the Old Town for a quiet stay.

Avoid rooms beside a lift because the arrival chime may disturb you overnight or early in the morning.
Ask for help before using the hotel ATM to avoid having your card retained.
About Hotel Saski Krakow, Curio Collection by Hilton
Hotel Saski Kraków brings real old-world drama to a stay in the city: this is a five-star address with more than two centuries of stories in its walls, now given a polished contemporary finish. Music is part of its identity, from individually styled rooms that nod to the building’s artistic past to the grand Saski Ballroom, whose restored 18th-century frescoes once looked down on performances by Liszt, Brahms and Paderewski. Photographs by Kraków artist Ryszard Horowitz add a striking modern counterpoint.
Set right in Kraków’s Old Town, the hotel is especially handy for travellers who want to spend their days wandering historic streets rather than relying on transport. The central setting works equally well for a city break and for business travellers, with 117 rooms and substantial event facilities on site. Down in the atmospheric historic basement, there is a proper wellness escape: an indoor pool, gym, saunas and treatment rooms.
Guests regularly single out the exceptionally convenient position, handsome interiors and comfortable rooms, along with staff who are attentive without making things feel stiff. The spa, steam room and pool are popular bonuses after a day out, and breakfast earns plenty of enthusiastic mentions. A few guests have found restaurant prices high, while occasional comments point to awkward room lighting or inconsistent air conditioning, but many say they would gladly return.
