What guests think

Across many reviews, Hotel Maximum is praised for its central, walkable location near Krakow’s Old Town and stations, solid value for money, friendly front-desk staff, and a generally satisfying breakfast that helps start the day well.

Rooms are basic to comfortable with varied sizes, but many note street and tram noise or thin walls, while back-facing rooms are quieter. Cleanliness is frequently complimented, though several reports mention unpleasant odours or ageing fixtures requiring maintenance. Facilities are limited, with no on-site bar or restaurant and parking relying on street or nearby lots, while WiFi is generally reliable. A practical choice for short city stays.

Vi var to par afsted. Værelserne og badeværelset var ok. Dejlige senge. Rengøringen fin. Hotellet ligger centralt. Men der står, at hotellet har en lounge, en restaurant og en bar. Dette var desværre ikke tilfældet. Der stod en sofa i receptionen. Ved ikke om det er det de kalder lounge. Vi havde ikke valgt hotellet, hvis vi vidste der ikke var restaurant og bar. Dette står stadig når man går ind og søger på hotellets oplysninger.

Good location, very close to the market square. Very good breakfast. Friendly lobby staff. We were lucky enough to be able to park our car on the street just 50m from the hotel from Saturday 16:00 for 1 night. Parking is free at night 20:00-10:00 and on Sunday. The only problem was that the sink was leaking, but it wasn't a major inconvenience.

The first night we were kept awake by very noisy plumbing system, vibrating through the room. Only given two sachets of coffee per day for 2 people. Had to ask for more toilet paper. No bar or dining facilities. Toaster was broken only allowing for 2 slices of bread to be toasted. Would not stay here again

Good things first: the hotel is at a convenient location. Most tourist sites are walking distance. The staff is very accommodating. My assigned room was awful. So the front desk lady was super helpful in changing my room. I rate the staff five stars. But there is only so much the staff can do if the facilities are bad. The hotel really needs to be renovated. There is a pervasive musty smell throughout. The rooms, carpets, bathrooms, the couches at the reception, all look really old and in need of renovation.

Ett hotell i äldre byggnad. Trevligt bemötande och lite extra service då de ordnade frukostpaket utan extra kostnad när vi skulle iväg tidigt på guidad tur. Väldigt lyhört! Stort rum men tyvärr låg vårt rum ut mot gatan med spårvagnar. Om möjligt önska rum på annat håll om ni vill ha tyst. Även grannarna vägg i vägg lät ljudligt under deras nattliga aktivitet (läs sex)

Die Unterkunft ist sehr zentral gelegen, liegt aber an einer Straße mit Tram-Linie. Mein Zimmer lag zum Hinterhof, daher war es sehr ruhig. Das Zimmer war grundsätzlich sauber, aber es gab kleinere Nachlässigkeiten: die Tagesdecke war fleckig, der Heizkörper im Bad stark eingestaubt. Das Frühstücksbuffet war ausgezeichnet und bot eine große Auswahl. Lediglich die Startzeit des Frühstücks mit 7:00 ist für Geschäftsreisende etwas einschränkend.

In generale buono. Posizione molto buona a pochi minuti dal centro e dai principali punti di interesse. Unico aspetto negativo che non vi erano prodotto gluten-free e lactose-free pur avendo comincato con largo anticipo la presenza di intolleranza. Unica soluzione, comprarsi dei prodotti in autonomia per la colazione.
