Qubus Hotel Kraków

Great location

We chose this hotel, in part, because of the facilities (swimming pool specifically) and were not disappointed. We paid for a river view and were very glad we had. Waking up each day to the sight of the river and the old town beyond with Wawel Castle, St Mary's Bascilica and other visible landmarks was glorious from 7th floor. The glass lift gives and outstanding view too. We paid for the breakfast and it was very good value. Buffet, self service style and everything from fresh fruit and yoghurts, breads (including gluten free option), cakes, croissants and danish pastries, hot cooked goods (bacon, eggs, sausages, mushrooms, courgettes etc) cheeses, meats, fish and extensive salad, dressings, accompaniments and a very popular waffle station with the largest pump handle Nutella bottle I have ever seen!! Several coffee machines and an excellent selection of leaf and herbal teabags. They even had actimel bottles. There is a mini "spa" on 6th floor with rainfall showers, relaxing seating, steam room and sauna. On the ground floor is a small business centre and a hairdressers. Krakow Zablocie train station is a couple of minutes walk away (direct trains operate from here to Oświęcim (Auschwitz) at an approximate cost of £10 per person return taking around 1.5hr . Lots of restaurants around the hotel including Ethiopian, Indian, Chinese and others. Schindlers Factory is 10 minutes as is the ghetto wall remnants. Plaszow Memorial Park is 20-30 minutes walk. mini supermarket oppos

Its a good 40min walk to Old Town, but a good quality hotel, fire alarm went off at 430am no one said why and we all stood about. Pool is small. Breakfast is amazing.
