Within a short walk, the Old Town around St. Mary's Basilica and Rynek Główny is lined with restaurants and cafés where you can find anything from hearty Polish dishes to light snacks.

From Kraków Central Railway Station, which is about 500 metres away, you can walk to the hotel in under 10 minutes, heading towards the Old Town. The hotel is just off Westerplatte, close to Planty park and St. Florian's Gate, so the station is easily within reach by foot.
