Radisson Red Hotel & Radisson Red Apartments, Kraków, Krakow

Radisson RED brings a livelier, more design-led mood to Kraków than the usual city hotel. The lobby’s local dragon character sets a playful tone, while music, artful details and cocktails give the public spaces an energetic, contemporary feel. Rooms are made for settling in rather than simply sleeping over, and the 46 apartments are particularly handy for longer stays; some add a balcony or terrace. Couples who like a modern base with personality will find it an easy fit.

The hotel sits close to Galeria Krakowska and Kraków’s main railway station, putting transport, shops and a convenience store within easy reach. The Old Town and city centre are walkable, making this a practical choice for a weekend of wandering as well as rail arrivals or business trips. There are three meeting rooms, a gym, water refill points and in-room tea and coffee facilities, while Filini serves Italian dishes on site. Large TVs and generously sized rooms add useful comfort after a day out.

Guests regularly praise the fresh look, cleanliness, comfortable beds and welcoming reception team, with many saying they would return. The location earns particular appreciation for making the station and central sights straightforward to reach. A few stays are less seamless: housekeeping can be uneven, some rooms pick up noise, and parking is often considered pricey. Breakfast also draws mixed reactions, especially from guests hoping for more variety.
