Hotel Maksymilian

In the heart of Kraków on historic Karmelicka Street, a quick walk (about 7 minutes) from the Main Market Square and steps from St. Mary's Basilica and Wawel Castle. The hotel sits amid Jagiellonian University, Planty Park and other central sights. John Paul II – Balice Airport is roughly 10 km away, with easy access to nearby rail and bus stations.

Housed in a restored 19th‑century tenement designed by Maksymilian Nitsch, the hotel blends historic character with modern comfort. There are 47 individually and luxuriously arranged rooms with air‑conditioning, flat‑screen TVs, refrigerators, safes and tea/coffee facilities. Most rooms look over a quiet courtyard and garden, and all have modern bathrooms with showers and hairdryers — family‑friendly touches include cots and free stay for children up to 6.

Treat yourself in the health studio and massage rooms, relax on the terrace or sip coffee in the back‑courtyard arbor. Onsite perks include complimentary Wi‑Fi, a computer station, concierge and a 24‑hour front desk. Practical extras: guarded car park nearby, train‑station pick‑up (surcharge) and multilingual staff to help book tours and transfers.

A conference hall and meeting facilities make this a solid pick for small events. Free fast wireless internet and an internet corner keep you connected, plus a 24‑hour desk and multilingual staff for support.
