Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Batory provides a comfortable stay with spacious and clean rooms, some featuring balconies, perfect for relaxing. Guests appreciate the convenient location, which is within walking distance of the city center and a short distance from the train station for easy access to attractions like the Wieliczka Salt Mine. A highlight for many is the varied breakfast buffet with local products, though some found the selection to be repetitive over longer stays. Free parking adds to the value, making it easy to explore the area by car.

an ok stay nothing special

thin wallsclogged drain

the walls were thin i could hear everything next door , made it hard to sleep. the shower drain was clogged it took a long time for the water to go down. the lack of soundproofing really detracted from the experience. a fridge in the room would have been great too i missed having cold drinks available.

The breakfast seemed fine. there were no pastries available. My room also lacked a small refrigerator. This would have been useful for storing drinks. The price was high for the comfort the room provided.
