My stay at the hotel was truly memorable. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a beautiful view of the Vistula river. The location was excellent, just a short walk to the main square and right next to the Wawel Castle. While the service had its moments of being hot and cold, there were standout individuals like the gentleman at reception on Sunday morning. The dining experience was overall good, with a rooftop restaurant that I loved. However, the breakfast could use some improvement. The facilities were well-kept and convenient.

My stay at the Pod Wawelem hotel was a mix of cozy comfort and disappointing details. The rooms, although a bit small, were comfortable, but the tea came with totally cold water. The staff, despite some lack of interest, were very friendly and accommodating, making our stay pleasant. The location was fabulous, with easy access to all tourist attractions. The dining experience was a mix of superb meals at good value and just okay options. Overall, a great location with some room for improvement.

The service was variable, with some staff being extremely helpful while others seemed less attentive. The dining options were diverse, but there were some missed opportunities for improvement.

The hotel is conveniently located, near many tourist spots, restaurants, and shops. The rooms are very clean and come with a hair dryer and kettle. The breakfast was average, but be prepared for a bit of a wait as they only have one toaster, probably due to hosting a visiting group. The service varied from very helpful to being a bit indifferent, especially during breakfast and at the rooftop bar if you weren't dining. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the city center and near popular attractions like the Wawel Royal Castle. The dining experience could have been better, lacking a toaster, but overall the food was satisfactory.
