About PURO Kraków Stare Miasto

PURO Kraków Stare Miasto is a polished, design-minded city hotel with a distinctly local streak. Its refreshed interiors draw on Kraków’s past without turning theatrical, mixing art-led details with a contemporary, easygoing feel. The result is smart rather than stiff: a place that works as well for a quick weekend escape as it does for a work trip.

It sits directly opposite Galeria Krakowska and the main railway station, with the Market Square around a kilometre away. That puts trains, shopping and the historic centre within effortless reach. All 138 rooms have air-conditioning, soundproofing, Wi-Fi, a 49-inch TV, desk, laptop safe and in-room tablet, while 24-hour reception and speedy self-service arrival or departure help keep things simple. Guests can grab complimentary coffee, and HINT serves daily breakfast alongside gastropub-style dishes and its own beer.

Guests regularly single out the friendly, capable team, comfortable beds and crisp, modern rooms. The handy station-side setting is a major draw, especially for city breaks, and breakfast earns plenty of enthusiasm. A few visitors find the rooms on the compact side for the rate, however, and occasional service or room-control quirks do crop up.
