The level of service was definitely above our expectations - everything was perfect!. Peter Netherlands Feb.14.2008 Overall rating 5/5. A really decent hotel with an excellent location. Good value for money. Nothing fancy, but I've stayed here twice and on both ocasions was very happy indeed with the service, standard of accommodation and the price. Seems to be very popular (by my reckoning) so would recommend to book well in advance. Literally 50 yards from the Market Square.. Peter Evans United Kingdom Feb.07.2008 Overall rating 4/5. My first trip to Europe and I ended up at the Hotel Saski. Totally incidentaland perfect in so many ways. It's seconds away from the square which is perfect. Every single person that worked there was so kind, especially one of the bartenders that worked in the morning. Marta, if youre out there Amy, Joel and I still talk about you fondly. Rooms were cozy and clean. I had a room with no shower but the shower was only steps away and it was always clean. I felt like I was coming home every night even though I was in a place thousands of miles away from my little home in the middle of nowhere Yacolt, Washington. USA. For unseasoned travelers that havent been out of The States I couldnt recommend a better place. My friends that are Expats and have traveled all over Europe fell in love with Krakow and so did I. A big part of that was the hospitality of the people and the accommodations of Hotel Saski.. Justin E. Ross United States Nov.18.2007 Overall rating 5/5. One of the best hotels I have stayed in. Right in the heart of Krakow, great place with a fantastic ornate lift. Couldnt recomment it more!. James McGinnessi Ireland Oct.25.2007 Overall rating 5/5. Saski Hotel is reasonable value but you have to be careful about which room you have as some are very small and quite noisy during summer when Krakow plays all night. However it is conveniently located. Breakfast is included and it is served at the adjacent restaurant Metropolitan. A good choice and the best staff we found in Krakow. We went back for dinner and i do nbot know why this restaurant is not on the Cracow-Life list. It is simply a gem! THe Food is fresh and delicious, the staff wonderful and the price; well you simply cannot believe how low it is for that quality.Krakow is a great town and Metroploitan is the best restaurant we ate at during our stay in Poland.. Gordon Australia Jul.23.2007 Overall rating 3/5. July 2007, stayed at the Saski for 4 nights, very pleasant hotel room basic but very clean, bathroom shower only modern and clean, we were on 2nd floor overlooking courtyard with a small bar which closes at 10pm so no problem with noise. Staff very nice and helpful. Breakfast very nice with plenty of choice for continental style. We liked the bar in the Metropolitan staff very friendly. Just minutes from the fantastic square and excellent base for all the great sites of Krakow. Had a great break.. Linda United Kingdom Jul.22.2007 Overall rating 4/5. The location was excellent. My room was not as great as my other friends rooms. I would question if this a UK 4 star hotel. The inclusive breakfast was ok but I paid for a breakfast and it was excellent. Staff were friendly and professional.. Ross United Kingdom Jul.10.2007 Overall rating 3/5. Highly recommend this hotel, surprised it is classed as budget as it seems on par with 4* in UK + great atmosphere. We had a senior suite, it was gorgeous, very grand and tastefully decorated, which is more than can be said for our friends room, which was 'different'! The hotel is centrally situated, a stones throw from the square. Can be a little noisy on the night. The complimentary breakfast was OK. The hotel bar, 'The Metropole' was excellent, we all met up there everynight, the 'mojitos' are worth a try. As with most things in Krakow, price was low compared with UK. We were all sad to leave and would definitely stay in the Saski again when we return to Krakow.. May 2007 Our second visit to Krakow and we really hit the jackpot with Hotel Saski.Three couples three excellent spacious rooms.Great beakfasts.Will definitely return to this ideally situated hotel.. Michael Blocki United Kingdom Jun.18.2007 Overall rating 5/5. Saski is a very, very good mid-range choice. The location is perfect, right next to the Rynek, and it's hard to beat for value.. Peter Ball United Kingdom Mar.06.2007 Overall rating 4/5. What a wonderful hotel, fantastic location, really beuatiful features and the room was 5 star!. Dorota Kotuszewska United Kingdom Nov.02.2006 Overall rating 5/5. Very good hotel. The prices were reasonable for the stay. We have jut returned from a 3 night stay in October and we could not have asked for a better location. Perfect for getting about in town - and just in the right place to get back to when you're feet have had enough after a walking day out. Adjoining restaurant is also very good - with GREAT staff. A really enjoyable break and a hotel to recommend to all.. Carl McIver United Kingdom Oct.26.2006 Overall rating 4/5. Wonderful location, not too expensive for where it is, and very friendly adjoining breakfast bar and restaurant (Metropolitan). The room was relatively plain but clean and adequate. Charming old rattling lift - a real feature; and a touch of fin-de-siecle grandeur to the building itself. But the location alone is enough to make it an excellent bet. Tea and coffe-making facilities in the rooms could have made it even better.. Subha Mukherji United Kingdom Sep.18.2006 Overall rating 4/5. fab hotel, exellent location resturant next door has amazing food, try the steak would definately stay here again, staff really friendly susan david United Kingdom Mar.24.2006 Overall rating 5/5. Truly great location and good value. The Metropolitan bar/dinner served really good food at a good price and all the staff were really polite and helpful. I was even able to get a game of chess! Internet for free in the hotel too.Thoroughly recommend it.Only not 5/5 because the bedroom was a little cold as the curtains were a bit skimpy.. Temple Melville United Kingdom Nov.24.2005 Overall rating 4/5. Exceptional hotel! We loved staying here as it was right in centre but not noisy at all. the staff we lovely people and very helpful and breakfast was good. The rooms were cleaned daily and a nice size. Cant fault such a wonderful hotel and staff - already told lots of family and friends they MUST stay here!!. ALLISON HARRISON United Kingdom Aug.31.2005 Overall rating 5/5. Booked through Krakow-Hotel-Guide.com who provided the recomendation and a top class service. Hotel is perfectly situated and the suite is unbeatable value. We highly recomend the hotel and Krakow-Hotel-Guide.com. David Muskett Spain Aug.08.2005 Overall rating 5/5. For value accommodation in the centre of the city, I think you'd be hard pushed to beat this place! I've been here three times now - no complaints at all. Really nice people too.. Hannes Nel South Africa Jan.07.2005 Overall rating 4/5. I love Krakow. Only here could I stay in such a nice hotel as Saski, so close to (...

Restaurant Wierzynek. With a tradition going all the way back to 1364, it's hardly surprising to find that Wierzynek Restaurant has become something of a landmark in its own right within the Old Town. Its location on the corner of the Rynek and Grodzka Street places it right in the heart of Cracow's most important district, and makes it a favourite for visitors who want to watch the world go by from their tables overlooking the Market Square. Expect top quality traditional old Polish (Staropolska) cuisine, summer concerts as you eat, and a great allround atmosphere that has made Wierzynek one of Cracow's highlights. Guests that have visited include George Bush, Stephen Spielberg, and the Nobel Prize Winner Czeslaw Milosz. address: Rynek Glowny 15 telephone: +48 (12) 4249600 fax: +48 (12) 4249601. it's true - this is a great restaurant. I ate here in 2002 and found it really stiff, so have avoided it ever since. I went again tonight and was really impressed by the atmosphere, the service and the food. If you live here, this is a place you wouldn't be ashamed to bring your friends/relatives to. Definitely recommended. spoony United Kingdom Apr.24.2008 Overall rating 4/5. You simply have to eat here. It was one of the best meals I have ever had. The restaurant itself is fantastic and the service superb. My main course of Roe Deer Quail Duet was simply sublime. You simply have to try it. I have never tasted such tender meat. As the other reviewers have pointed out its not cheap but it will be a meal you will not forget.. Anne Jackson United Kingdom Apr.22.2008 Overall rating 5/5. This restaurant is magical, truly magical. The dcor beautiful and the service impeccable. Watch those pesky disappearing chairs though, they can cause embarrassment. And as for the food well what can you say, the rose was delectable and the lily was amongst the most delicious I have ever tasted. This restaurant was more theatre than simply a fine-dining establishment as guest are encouraged to throw their food and catch it in their mouths. One complaint is that the restaurant was a little claustraphobic when the doors were closed, but other than that there can be no complaints. A wonderful experience. Highly recommended. Stan Dobrovic Poland Feb.20.2008 Overall rating 5/5. This must be one of the best restaurants I've been to in Krakow and I've been to quite a few! The food was superb! I would recommend the marinated fallow deer as a starter - it just melted in the mouth. Not by any means a cheap restaurant in Polish terms, but if you want quality and good service try this place out. If you want to go for a special occassion it would be advisable to book in advance - otherwise you might be disappointed.. Alicia Sacha United Kingdom Nov.04.2007 Overall rating 5/5. We dined for lunch on the terrace. Best service that we had while in Krakow. Enjoyed the food.. Jay United Kingdom Aug.15.2007 Overall rating 4/5. I have to say that this was the highlight of our time in Krakow and probably the best eating experience I have had. We ate on 23rd June, we were celebrating mine, my husbands 40th and a friends birthday, 8 of us altogether. The service was amazing, we were served a beautiful complimentary appetizer, the food was excellently presented and tasted wonderful. We had a waiter each serving the main course, very grand. We then received beautiful surprise cakes for our birthdays. We all had after dinner drinks, and the price per head was ridiculously cheap considering the quality of food and service at this restaurant. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!. Clare McAleese United Kingdom Jun.30.2007 Overall rating 5/5. What can I say?? I took my boyfriend here for his birthday, we had five courses and they surprised him (and me) with a rendition of happy birthday and a roman candle in a chocolate mousse! The food was some of the best we've ever had and the service was exceptional. What a place to eat...You feel like royalty!. We are just back from Krakow, and thanks to this website, were able to experience nice food and drinks in very interesting places. Despite all the hype that seems to surrounder Wierzynek, I must admit to a serious disappointment regarding the food quality there. I've seen reviews comparing this restaurant to 3 star Michelin, well, think again. The great chefs of the world (and I have had the pleasure of enjoying the cuisine of quite a few of them) would certainly be horrified to be compared with the rather average food quality we have tasted there. Having chosen to eat local, we took the Polish menu that started rather well with the famous Pierogi (but honestly those eaten at Pod Aniolami were at least equally good if not slightly better. The soup served afterwards was nice, although all the interesting bits and pieces were dominated by a fine but strong taste of sorrel. From then on, the real disapointment did not stop. The main dish, presented as wild boar with boletus etc; the boletus were there (not very tasty, though, but after all it is not the season...)but the boar must have forgotten to enter the kitchen! instead we had a kind of a warm pat, rather dull, hard, and probably microwaved just before serving. Desert was a huge portion of a creamy paste in between 2 layers of pastry supposed to be a Millefeuilles : literally, that means a thousand of (extremely fine) sheets Hmm... So if you wish to be impressed by a superb environment matched by an impeccable service, and pay the price that goes with it, it's a great place; as to the food itself, many restaurants in Krakow offer the same or better, for less than half the price.. Ratus France Feb.26.2007 Overall rating 2/5. Last May I brought a party of 17 people to your wonderful restaurant and my party were so impressed with the service and cannot wait to return to Krakow again. It was my second visit and again was very impressed with the place. Thank you for taking care of us and hope to return again one day.. Noreen Wright United Kingdom Dec.31.2006 Overall rating 5/5. What an inspiring story (from Phillip, below) Knowing Poles and Poland, it doesn't suprise me - dignity and class in overwhelming portions hope you make it back to Wierzynek before too long. Regards, Keith. Keith Jennings United Kingdom Dec.13.2006 Overall rating 5/5. This is not a recent review, however I'm sure it will be of interest to those who have had the pleasure of dining here, or those contemplating doing so. In 1981 a group of four New Zealanders travelling by van through what was then the Eastern Bloc emerged from an almost harrowing month in Soviet Russia into what was a delightful, friendly late-summer Poland. At this time the movement Solidarity was almost at its peak, and people everywhere felt relaxed and empowered as they anticipated the imminent collapse of their communist overlords. Unfortunately this was not to be as a crackdown followed perhaps only a month after our visit. Our experience at the restaurant began with a chance meeting at a railway station dining room with a young Polish girl eager to practice her English. We offered her much of our scarce food and other supplies as much of those things were impossible to get at that time - toilet paper, toothbrushes, even jam! She, in exchange, became our guide and we picked her up from her mother's home and spent several days seeing the real - non-communist Cracow. On our final evening she arranged for us to dine at this historic restaurant where a friend was working. Arriving at the appointed hour, and quite inappropriately dressed, we were royally welcomed by the staff and shown to an exceptional private room filled with a great many antique clocks, and featuring a long table in white linen and a view across the Square. In the centre of the table, a tiny New Zealand flag made us feel honoured. We had already fallen in love with the Poles, and this was to be a meal to remember for the rest of our lives... Our guide was our guest, however we did no...
