“Very nice people! Thank you Tadeusz for your warm hospitality and your kindness to drive us between train station and apartment. Eventhough the room at the guesthouse is full, Tadeusz still managed to find us a nice apartment near Kazimierz which is even closer to the Market Sq. The room is clean and comfortable with a very reasonable price we cannot get from anywhere.”

“What a splendid welcome we received from this lovely family. The hospitality was excellant. Ola and her two sons, Yanik and Tadeusz are warm, do their best to ensure you have a most enjoyable holiday – we stayed with them for 10 days! Nothing was too much trouble for any one of them. Everywhere was clean and comfortable and really home from home. We had an unexpected musical evening with Tadeusz playing the piano and Ola singing – buy her CD – she has a beautiful voice and we wish we knew what she was singing about but that does not take anything away from the CD. Yanik was busy taking exams but found time to join us and entertain us with his humour – he speaks good English! We had lots of laughter and came away feeling we had made good friends with the Platek family. Just one comment we would make – if you have walking difficulties – Katowa 4 is a fair walk to the centre at the moment until the road works are completed – taxis are cheap however – �2 – if you don’t mind walking then it is not a problem. We hope to see Ola and her two sons again – maybe next year!”

“After having spent the first part of our stay in Krakow in a wonderful boutique hotel near Rynek Glowny, my sister and I chose to stay a few days at the equally wonderful Piano Guest House just outside the ringed Old Town of Krakow. We agree with all of the positive statements made so far about this fine establishment and add that the sincere personal touch and caring we found here is so important to us travellers so far from home. I would have loved to have heard Tadeusz play the piano (unfortunately he was away studying conducting at the time), but Alexandra (even in her broken English) and younger son, Janek, were a delight to get to know and we were also able to share notes with fellow guests from Liverpool, England. Hi Helen and Phil! We were also able to easily walk down to the city via a new walkway that is picked up right in front of the Katowa. Equally easy was access to the minibuses for trips outside of the city. We highly recommend you find some time during your stay(if not all of it!) to make Katowa 4 your little haven in the heavenly city of Krakow.”

“When good fortune decides to pay you a visit, it is never certain in what disguise it will arrive. When Tadeusz from the Piano Guesthouse, picked us up from the central station in a battered up old banger, it wasn’t at all yet obvious we had stumbled across a Cracovian jewel. I will not overelaborate the delights Madame Maurer’s, suffice to say it was made all the more wonderful by the family- produced fruit juices and Tadeusz’ eclectic conversation topics. What I would like to put on the record though, is that when my girlfriend and I were stuck in Auschwitz at 8pm in the evening having missed the last bus and the last train back to Cracow it was to Tadusz we turned, and by 9pm the battered old banger had been transformed into a shining chariot. I heartily recommend the Guesthouse, you will be staying with a warm and sophisticated family who truly love their City. ”

“The Piano Guest House is extremely charming and quite near the main train station and the old town. The mother and son who operate it are endearing, very hospitable, and impressively multilingual. We felt like personal guests the whole time we were there. Ola and Tadesusz are Krakow natives and can offer a lot in the way of suggestions about what to see and do in the city, and, if you’re lucky, sometimes a side trip to lesser-known sites. The rooms are clean and in good condition, and have completely new (and modern) bathrooms. A stay at the Piano Guest House is a lovely experience and a good value for its price; I highly recommend it to anyone looking in this price range.”

“We found that our intention to stay for 3 days in Krakow stretched into a week, not only because of the delightful city, but because going “home” to The Piano House was so wonderful! We would relax and recover in the garden where our hostess/hosts plied us with tea and treats and intelligent discussion. Rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. We heartily recommend staying here in this lovingly restored home.”

This is just an amazing find and is located quite close to the old city (about 10 minutes’ walk from the train station). The owners are the ult1mate in friendly hosts, and Tadeusch will play piano for you if you are not careful. I strongly recommend it. The garden is a particular delight. At 140z/night for a double room with bath and breakfast in this historic house is is also very affordable, and compares well with the cost of other accommodation in Cracow.

Paul Topping mówi:
“We have recently returned from a four night stay and were very impressed. Aleksandra is most welcoming and attentive. On arrival, we were greeted with a pot of tea, jam and cake. Our room was traditionally furnished and very comfortable. Breakfasts were superb, with a wide variety of well-presented food. Just what we needed to set us up for a day of exploration. The bus station and station are 5 minute walk away (convenient for getting to and from the airport) as is the Galleria Krakow – a modern shopping complex with a variety of shops, cafes and a supermarket. The central square is a further 5-10 minutes walk. I heartily recommend The Piano Guest House and, if I return to Krakow, would definitely stay again.”
