Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Kossak is praised for its spacious and beautifully decorated rooms, some offering spectacular views of Wawel Castle and the river. Guests particularly enjoy the plentiful and varied breakfast. While most find it good value, a few guests have mentioned that some rooms felt small for the price. Its location is convenient, close to the castle, and with easy access to the river, and a rooftop restaurant and bar enhance the experience.

amazing packgreat choiceexcellent locationuncomfortable bedsill-fitting sheetsbad experience
The location is excellent. It allows easy access to the main square. The provided breakfast had so much choice. I was given a very amazing pack up, when I had to miss breakfast.
The beds were very uncomfortable. The provided sheets did not fit the beds. The rooftop restaurant experience proved unsatisfactory.

mediocre stay with some letdowns

small roomrestaurant food
the room i got felt really small for the price i payed. the air conditioning struggled to keep up with the outside heat, and it was quite annoying. the rooftop restaurant looked nice, but i found the food was overpriced and not as tasty as i expected. i think they focus too much on the view and not enough on the dishes quality.
