PURO Kraków Kazimierz
Wonderful staff, clean, comfortable and large room. It was cool to have umbrellas and yoga matt available to borrow. As a solo traveller, I felt safe in this super friendly hotel that is close to everything but not in the middle of the tourist craziness.

Nice place with great service, spacious rooms and great location. I enjoyed my stay here more than loft apartments in center square which are typically small, no breakfast, and very loud during the night.
