PURO Kraków Kazimierz
In a strange part of town just over the bridge to Kazimierez. Hotel was decent, staff was cold at best, somewhat rude at worst. The opposite of my usual experience in Krakow.

Balthazar Design Hotel
Gorgeous hotel. Staff were friendly especially at breakfast (which incidentally was really lovely especially the gluten free pancakes). Loved all the Molten Brown shampoos etc in the room. It is super central to the castle and the main square. Definitely recommend. We will be back.
