Krakow hotel Chopin
by paulfineart about Chopin
This hotel is clean and functional with a nice breakfast and a good restaurant but is a little over priced especially the restaurant which we used when arriving late.It is claimed the hotel is within 5mins walk of the old town but it is 5-10 mins by tram and at least 30mins walk. The tram system is very cheap and good although always overcrowded.We did not see any facilities for wheelchair or other less abled travellers on the trams.We felt safe at night even in the early hours although the 2mins walk through the park from the tram stop to the hotel might be different for a single person.

On our last day in Poland we wanted to visit the house where the composer Chopin was born. It is is a tiny village called Zelazowa Wola and there is no hotel in that village. The nearest hotel is 7 kilometres away in Sochaczew. We found this 4-star hotel at Booking.com. The night - including breakfast - cost 60 euros. There is a guarded parking area behind the hotel for an extra 15 z per day. The room was very nice - big with two single beds and a sitting area, a lovely roomy shower and toilet.
We had dinner in the hotel and it was the very best meal of the trip..... costing 25 euros for the two of us (main course. water and coffees).
There is free internet in the room.

getting from the airport

I'm coming to Krakow and arriving early evening. Will get the train from the airport to the city. I'm staying at the Chopin Hotel on UL PRZY RONDZIE.
Where is the best place to get off the bus and can I get a tram/bus to hotel Chopin. If not , how long will it take to walk. I will have a large case on wheels.
Thanks for any replies.

I've stayed in the Chopin hotel last summer and the tram stop is kind of in the center of the big square but a level down. The escalators usually work. I actually walked from the railway station but it's not such a comfortable walk so you better take a tram. Mind you you have to buy the ticket at the machine at the stop and punch it (validate) inside the tram.
