Hotel Start  

In Krakow’s south side on Ul. Kapelanka, this 2‑star city hotel sits about 3–4 km from the old town (roughly 10 minutes by tram) and some 15 km from the airport. Historic sights like Wawel Castle, Wawel Cathedral, the Smok Wawelski statue and the Manggha Museum are within easy reach, and the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy is a short walk away. Pet-friendly and budget-friendly, it’s a practical base for exploring Krakow.

Rooms are simple and functional — private shower and TV are standard, with equipment varying by room category. The vibe is straightforward and unpretentious, ideal for travelers who want clean, no-frills comfort. Staff speak English and Polish, and the hotel offers 24‑hour reception and baggage storage for late arrivals or quick turnarounds.

Find an on-site restaurant and bar, a tour assistance desk and help arranging transfers. There’s free parking for guests, an elevator for easy access, and a safe‑deposit box at reception. Wake up and hop on a tram to the old town — convenient city mornings are part of the deal.

A meeting/conference room and staffed reception make it workable for small group meetups or simple business needs.

Breakfast is served buffet‑style each morning, and the on-site restaurant and bar cover basics for early starts or late returns. For a taste of local life, a range of nearby restaurants and wine bars is just a short walk or tram ride away.
