„Never judge a book by its cover and this can definately be said of the Piano Guest House. On first impression one would think you are far out of town, but you are only 2/3 minutes from the bus and train station and 15 minutes from the town centre. We were welcomed on arrival with tea/coffee and beautiful range of breads,jams and cold meats. The breakfast were very good and our 3 year old was very well catered for. Although the room was basic it could not be faulted and the Lady of the house Alexandria was extremely helpful during our stay. Transfer to the airport was very much appreciated. We have travelled all over the world and we throughly enjoyed our stay in Poland mainly due to this little treasure. The O’Brien Family Mullaghbawn Ireland”

„Our stay at The Piano Guest House was fantastic and above reproach. Our hosts were attentive, welcoming and always made sure we were confortable in every way. The rooms were clean and mercifully free of TV! Breakfast was always a pleasant experience and my teacup was never empty. The abundance of food would leave you full for a fair portion of the day. Although situated in a fairly rundown part of town, it was pleasing to see people were regenerating such a potentially beautiful area. Overall, The Piano Guest House is a gem that every traveller should dicover, especially if they’re looking for something other than a faceless hotel chain.”

„An old house modernised and turned into a small hotel run by a mother and son who are very helpfull and the son speaks english. The rooms were clean and though the furniture was old fashioned it did the job. The en-suite bathroom was modern and spotless. A shame there was no TV in the room as it poured all the time we were there and watching the TV would have been a break from watching the rain. There was no drink making facility in the room though we were told we could use the kitchen. Breakfast is a traditional Polish meal and was impressive you are unlikely to want anything else for some time. The hotel is not on a bus route but it is only about a 15 minute walk into town and about seven minutes from a railway station and bus station. It is unfortunatly situated in a desolate part of town that seems ripe for re-development. Be sure when walking home at night and the usual route through a shopping arcade is closed that you do not take a wrong turn and like us end up on a footpath that peters out among railway lines with motorways on both sides standing in the pouring rain looking at the lights of the hotel and wondering how to reach it. When we were there the street lighting was out probably due to road works. In a good location it would be a four star award and with TV and a drink making facility in the room a five star but because of the location I have awarded it 3 stars. ”

„Tadeusz and his Mother Ola could not have made our stay more friendlier. Nothing was any trouble. Picked up from the airport by Tadeusz. A cup of tea as soon as we arrived. Very comfortable and clean. Magnificent breakfasts. More like visiting family rather than staying in a guest house. Wish I could have spoken Polish or French so that I could have conversed with Ola. Tadeusz translated though with his perfect English and was always willing to advise where necessary about anything. Bit of a walk to the square but you got used to it. Have recommended this guest house to all of my friends and I am sure we will be back. ”

„This pension is wonderful! Room great, host very friendly and very cultivated. The place is clean. In the summer 2007 the have a table tennis set up which was great hours of fun. Breakfast very good. As in the intro, setback is only a little walk to old-town and the place is really hard to find. I’d go there anytime again. Tadeusz has 8 rooms at the Piano pension, but the piano has moved to his appartment this year. Krakow is a nice place to visit while in Poland, but you might also want to check out Zakopane 100 km south, we had some excellent mountainbiking there. ”

„The Piano Guest House is a charming, delightful guest house that we would thoroughly recommend. It is spotlessly clean and decorated very tastefully with beautiful antique furniture. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are modern. Tadeuz and his mother, Ola, are very welcoming, friendly and colourful people who go beyond the call of duty. Every morning Ola served us up with a veritable feast and you feel more like a friend who has come to stay than a paying guest. Excellent value for money. ”
