Avena Boutique Hotel by Artery Hotels

The room was spacious, clean. The bed was comfortable, the shower was HUGE. I liked that there was a water machine outside on the foyer so i could just walk out and grab a jug of cold water in this heat. The room didn’t had air conditioner but it was suprisingly at a comfortable temperature. I really enjoyed the breakfast buffet. Some people in the reviews have such expectations its crazy. The buffet had warm food, multiple types of cheese, ham, spreads, breads, buns, cerial, the salad bar was INSANELY GOOD. The egg salad and the cottage cheese with vegetables were TOP!! Im gonna dream about them hahaha. Also had smoothies and juice, amazing sweet baked goods, fruits, joghurt. The coffee was also nice. Everybody were kind, respectful, smiling and helpful which made my stay the best in Krakow, already recommended it to friends. :) The old town and the shopping center in 10-15 minutes walk, the area was safe, clean. I travelled solo, im usually quite anxious but i never felt afraid during my stay. The lounge area was also comfortable with sofas!

I would like to start by saying what lovely staff this hotel has! The ones at reception and breakfast area are all extremely welcoming, warm & helpful young people who really love and take pride in their job. The breakfast was fantastic with a great variety of dips, and a nice selection of healthy foods to complement the customary eggs & bacon. It was also very handy that we had water dispensers and umbrella’s available for our daily outings. In terms of location, it is a straight 10-minute walk down the road to the Old Town and well served with two trams to reach most areas of the city. We really our loved our time here and a big thumbs up to the wonderful young people working there.

The location was ideal. Outside the old city but an easy walk. There are shops and coffee places all over. The train station and major shopping centre is also a very close walk. Opposite the hotel is also a little open market. It was amazing. The staff were amazing. They got us a taxi to the airport. They gave us travel tips and maps. We got there early and they saved our bags whilst we walked around. Such lovely staff. They must have done breakfast for some guests. Our room didnt come with breakfast but it smelt amazing. The bar looked great :) the food smelt great.

Location was excellent. Approx a 5 min walk into the town square. Staff were friendly and helpful and the front desk is open 24/7 which is handy. The hotel always looked clean and looked lovely from the outside as well as on the inside. Our room was spacious with good facilities on offer. The only thing we noticed is that on a couple of times when we removed our “do not disturb” sign, our room still would not be cleaned. The bed would be made (using the same sheets) and the bins were emptied but on 2 occasions we did not get a refill on toilet paper or fresh towels. This was nothing that wasn’t sorted by asking reception for them however we did expect more of a thorough clean but this did not impact our stay. Breakfast was tasty with a big selection to choose from, the food was stored in containers which didn’t really keep the food which would be the only let down in terms of breakfast. I would overall recommend the hotel and we would return

Everything was good. The room was very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and varied. The location was great - it was not far from the center. The hotel has its own parking lot in the courtyard. And that was attractive! )) But the entrance was a bit narrow though. It seems to me that it would be difficult to squeeze in a car like Touareg and higher (in that case, I suppose, you could leave your car in the small city parking lot opposite the hotel). But we were very pleased with our stay.
