My stay at Hotel Kossak was quite pleasant overall. The location next to the river and just a short walk from significant sites like Wawel Castle and the Market Square made exploring Krakow so easy. The room I had was comfortable and spacious, but the breakfast experience was hit or miss. At times, I found myself waiting for tables and hot food during the last breakfast hour. Still, the friendly staff and the lovely decor added to the charm of this hotel.

The hotel facilities were well-maintained, though the lack of a functioning TV and the sauna cooling down too quickly were drawbacks. It would also help to have a changing room for sauna users.
