We had a wonderful time in Krakow and the B&B was perfect!  Also,

thanks for arranging a driver to take us to Tarnobrzeg.

We have just returned from our four night break in Krakow, our stay in the 1st Bed and Breakfast situated at the foot of Wawal Castle was a perfect location. Ryszard was there to meet us at the airport which was a great help as we had not visited the city before and certaintly would have struggled with the language! An extremely friendly Ela met us at the door and showed us the apartment which although basic was really clean and comfortable excellent value. It was quite late when we arrived but a short walk towards the Castle led us to a bar which provided us with a late supper and of course piwo. Planty Park (opposite to the apartment building and encirculing the old town) enabled us to walk to the city centre in just 10 minutes and was a lovely place to just sit and watch the world go by. All in all we had a fantastic time, interesting places to visit and loads of reasonable places to eat, not to mention the friendly people. Thanks to

Ryszard and Ela for their hospitality.Caroline and David, July,21,2007


We thought we would write with our comments on our trip to Krakow.  We had a really good time and thought Krakow was a wonderful, vibrant city with lots to do and see.  We went on a bike tour which we would thoroughly recommend and we did the other customary tourist sites.  We wished the weather had been a bit sunnier, but at least it didn't rain too much and it certainly didn't interfere with our enjoyment.Ryszard was at the airport to meet us and also took us back for our return trip to the UK.  Ela was there to greet us on arrival and showed us the apartment, etc.  The apartment was clean and tidy and perfectly adequate for our stay - if you are not expecting luxury.  The location is excellent and central for all the sites - and we were surprised to learn that Schlinder's flat was just two doors down at number 7 (?).  Although the flat was situated on a fairly busy road it was extremely quiet in the apartment and it was good to have the park just across the road.  Ela was very efficient at calling the electrician in when there was a problem with the kitchen light fitting.  The problem recurred but as it was towards the end of our trip we asked Ela to arrange for further repair following our stay.  The heating was effective (and needed!) and the bathroom was excellent.  We liked being on the ground floor as after a day's sight-seeing it wouldn't have gone down well if we had to climb a lot of stairs.  We would certainly recommend you to friends and family.  

 Thanks you and we hope you have many more visitors.

 Best wishes

Dear Marian,

We just got back from a lovely time in Krakow.  We want to thank Ela for her hospitality. 

 The rooms were clean, beds comfortable and there was more than enough food in the refrigerator for each day's breakfast.

The hotel was in a great location. It was very easy to get to the market and the castle.  Transportation costs to and from the airport was very reasonable.  We rode the bus into the city and took a minivan back.

We would recommend the hotel for anyone on a budget who wants  a nice clean room and central location.

Best Regards,

Mark
 

 

Dear Marian

My daughter and I have just returned from Poland. 

We both want to thank you for the wonderful accommodations at your B & B. 

 The location was so convenient, the rooms spacious, and Ela and Ryszard were superb! 

They went way above the call of duty to make our stay pleasant. 

We really appreciate their help and hospitality.

We would recommend your B & B to everyone visiting Krakow.

Dear Marian

Firstly I am writing to give you feedback from our visit in May.

 We enjoyed our visit very much. The apartment was in a central yet quiet location.

The apartment was very clean and spacious with a good variety and plentiful supply of food for breakfast.

Ela and Ryszard were very helpful

We will definately return for another visit and use your accommodation again.

Secondly, we would like to book 3 nights in December.

The flight we have booked arrives Saturday 2.12.06 and departs on Tuesday 5.12.06.

Would you please let us know if the apartment is available and how much the charge will be.

We would also like Ryszard to collect us from the airport if possible. 

Thank you again for our stay in May.

 Regards

Paul

I had just spent 9 nights in this lovely 1st bed and breakfast in Krakow. The room was large, sunny, comfortable, well furnished, with well equipped kitchen. Just like being at home. A satellite TV with 100's channels. Warm & Charming.

Very comfortable beds and what a bathroom with shower. Everything spotless clean. Fresh rolls delivered to my room every morning. The fridge had all I need for breakfast and more. Lovely view of the snowy Planty, the park surrounding the Main Ancient Square of Krakow. Two minutes from the center across the park. Reasonable rates. What else can a body need in lovely, snowy February in a Krakow where there are almost no tourists and the city is all yours?"

Dear Marian,
Now that we're back home, I wish to extend my deepest thanks and congratulations. We had an excellent time in the apartment. Ella and Richard were the perfect hosts, gracefully helpful. Please send them our thanks and appreciation.  Hoping to stay with you again if and when we revisit Krakow.

Marian,
Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to your request to evaluate our stay in Krakow. We had a very enjoyable experience there, although it was about two days too short! We had a great time at your bed and breakfast and I would not hesitate to recommend it to others. We enjoyed our time in Krakow every bit as much as our stay in Prague. The caretakers were nice people. The taxi driver from the train station had a little trouble finding the right address but other than that minor detail we couldn't find anything to complain about.  Being somewhat on the "conservative" side I found the prices on everything to be much more palatable than in Prague. Thanks for your interest and help

Dear Marian Keren,
I returned home from Krakow, Poland on Monday. Just wanted to say Thanks. The bed and breakfast arrangement was most satisfactory.  Mr. & Mrs. Ryszard and Ella were splendid hosts, and the room they provided was both comfortable and clean.The refrigerator  was just brimming with breakfast foods, and freshly baked bread was provided every morning. It was a most pleasant stay. We were  able to visit the Mercy Shrine of Saint Faustina; the salt mines; the Market Square; the Wavel Castle : all of which were located  very near to the bed and breakfast home in which we stayed.

Hi Marian,
I've just returned from Krakow and I had a wonderful time. The landlady and her husband were brilliant. Auschwitz, however, has  left me traumatized. I will never forget it. Thanks for an excellent hotel.I really felt at home during my short stay there. Best wishes.

Marian,
Now that we are, finally, back in the UK, just to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay in Krakow, and at the apartment. Please convey our thanks and best wishes to Ela who made our stay very comfortable. It is likely that two of us shall be returning to Krakow sometime in November, so we shall keep you in mind.
~Henry H.    
I enjoyed the accommodations very much: good location, comfortable, and very clean facility. Ela provided plenty of delicious breakfast food and delivered fresh rolls every day. She and her husband were very cordial and helpful.

Dear Mr. Keren,
We appreciate your asking us for an evaluation of your B & B system. the complete analization is "ABOVE AVERAGE". I will give a few comments that we hope will help.
1. location great!
2. people who were hosts are very accommodating, kind and understanding.
3. Food in the refrigerator very adequate. 
4. Cleanliness excellent
5. space very adequate
6. price (rate) reasonable
7. for english or other language speaking people maybe a little difficult. and as i said above the overall rating is above average. our son  felt feels the same. Hope this helps.
~Ryszard & Marek(son) Fried 

Hi Marian,
We are back home safe and sound and want to tell you how much we enjoyed the arrangements we had in Poland. We walked everywhere, sometimes a couple of times to the square in one day as it is  so convenient. We also enjoyed the fact that you stocked the fridge. It is always nice to have good European food and we want to especially thank our "bakery elf." That was above and beyond the  call of duty. Thanks again.
~Catherine Jane Brockman              

Mr. Keren -
We had a great time in Krakow. The day we visited Wawel, the castle closed early and we were only able to visit the cathedral and  the dragon's den, but since we were so close, we managed to get there another morning for the castle tour. The apartment with the private bathroom worked great. It was spacious enough for all of us and your manager delivered more fresh bulk than we could eat! 
~K. Carlman                

Marian Keren,
Our stay at the Krakow Bed and Breakfast was very enjoyable. The hosts were kind and helpful, the room was exceptionally nice,  and the location was convenient for sightseeing. Our room was   completely remodeled (with a kitchen), including the bathroom and shower. We recommend this room for anyone traveling to Krakow.  The offstreet parking was not inexpensive, but it was certainly worth the price. There was 24 hour security, including a dog.  We were confident our vehicle was safe and secure. There was also a car wash stall. Thanks for coordinating with us.
~Rosemary and Darryl Swartz          

This was a really pleasant place to stay in Krakow- a home away from home.All facilities were very good and the  proximity to everything was a definite bonus - very easy to walk  to all the main attractions and very close to the Market Square and Castle.Ela and Richard were very helpful and Sophie (next door) spoke wonderful English.We recommend this B&B highly  and would certainly stay there again. 
~ Rayleine & Jon Olson (New Zealand)

This is an ideal situation especially for the tourist new to Poland. It is centrally located, minutes away from the concert hall, the university, the castle, the market, major museums, historical districts. You don't need fancy - need neat, practical, convenient. This is it. And more - you're not dependent  on anyone for when, where and what to eat - the kitchenette facilities  have it all. The innkeepers have thought of just about everything the building is wonderfully old, the facilities modern and the  occasional neighbors you may meet, most helpful.
~ Joan and Fred
This an ideal location and wise choice for the discerning tourist who wants a neat, clean base to call home. The kitchenette is all you'll need. Why spend money on fancy /  shamancy insides when what you should be doing is running around town taking in the museums, concert halls, university, side streets  and cafes -the innkeepers are most accommodating, all major services are provided, the beds are comfy and the three-key entrance will probably make you feel safer than you would back in the states.
~Okoska and consort
We had a very pleasant stay in lovely and comfortable accommodations with lots of light and a great view of the park. Excellent care was provided by the innkeeper. Should I have the opportunity to come again, I would definitely choose to stay there again, especially since the B&B is so centrally located.

Hi,
I wanted to write and tell you that my friend and I had a great time in Krakow and really loved the Bed and Breakfast.
