ibis budget Krakow Bronowice 1 star

Basic, clean, warm rooms with comfy beds. Ideal base to explore Krakow from. Buses running up and down very regularly, it's in the business district, about 40mins walk from the centre of Krakow. You can also hire bikes and cycle round the city from the hotel, or use the Uber taxis by downloading the app into your phone, very efficient, and very cheap. You can order breakfast at this hotel if you want to. Staff really nice and helpful.

This is a budget hotel and you get what you pay for. Everything in this hotel was just OK. In our experience the rooms were clean but felt pretty bare. The problem we had was the noise. The walls seemed to be paper thin so the conversations in adjacent rooms and the corridor were really disturbing to our sleep. Also the corridor outside our room smells of cigarette smoke which was quite unpleasant

2 nights and 2 incidents. One large tour group of 15 year olds running around all night. The following night there was a firealarm at midnight and evacuation. Unfortunately I think both of these happen at times. The ac is very good . It coped well with a 32c day. It also had two  English channels, both news of course. I didn't like the bed.

The room was fine, it had a view of a construction site, the bathroom was smelly and had no shower gel (first time I see that at an Ibis budget hotel) and no hands towel, only 2 big towels for shower, it was ok for a short stay and the price paid, the distance from the city center is about 15 minutes by car or bus.

If you want a 3* Hotel then there is a Novotel next door, if you want a 5* Hotel then pay a premium price in the centre of Krakow. If like us and travelling on a budget and happy to pay £130 for 5 nights in a budget hotel then this Ibis Budget is perfect. The rooms are of a similar standard to Travelodge hotels in the UK, the air con is a bit hit and miss and there is noise from the busy road outside. I’m not complaining about either, I have a thermostat at home and live in a rural village and therefore have to expect that on busy roads there will be traffic 24/7 and this Ibis Budget is on a busy road. I knew that before I booked, I had read reviews, looked on google maps and therefore no complaints. The room is everything I expect, clean and proportionate, breakfast is good and there is a frequent bus service into Krakow (route 501 to Polytechnic and short walk from there) Free Wifi, Internet access and vending machines, parking is an extra and you can understand why (would become an office overspill carpark for neighbouring businesses / Krakow park and ride) Overall, even though it’s 3am and very warm in bed, window open with constant traffic passing, I am pleased with this hotel and if in Krakow would stay again. Staff are very friendly and as helpful as they possibly can be. My only gripe is that there are 2 x USB chargers, 1 wall socket and 1 x 3 way multi-plug to charge phones etc... I personally don’t like multi adaptors and shower a little tight.
