Avena Boutique Hotel by Artery Hotels

It has long been my heartfelt desire to see and hear my dear lady wife on the pot. Lying on my bed, propped up on my tattered pillow cases, barely covering the curiously brown material beneath, I was delighted that the hotel, catering for the perfectly normal needs of me and people like me, had provided the bathroom area with an ill-fitting glass door. However, imagine my horror to discover the current Mrs Robinson was also able to observe me at toilet. I thrashed her to within an inch of her life, the filthy minded baggage. Breakfast was not included, and the free shoe polish left my face disappointingly undarkened. three stars.

An amazing place to stay with a good location! The rooms are clean, hotel provides everything you need. Staff is polite and helpful. The breakfast menu is limited and simple, but everything was fresh and tasty. Would love to stay in this hotel again when I visit Krakow the next time!

Hi Travelers so i choose this hotel for my 3 night stay, i was absolutely shocked to hear that a boutique hotel provides no safe deposit box in your room, you have to hand over your personal items at reception for safe keeping, This is absolutely not the way to run a boutique hotel , so i was left waiking around with passport & cash,They also do not provide a room clean service & will charge you for changing bedding, i will definitely avoid this hotel for future stays,

Very comfortable stay. Good sized room, 10 minute stroll into the old town so was very well located compared to many hotels for the price-point i would definitely recommend. Staff were friendly, reception open 24/7. Good sized fridge in the room.

When we arrived I was surprised to see a smaller boutique type hotel about a 10 minute walk to the main square. I had messaged them before our arrival to ask for a twin bed room if possible (sisters) and they had no problem accommodating my request. There’s an elevator, and we were on the 4th floor. The room is spotless, absolutely spotless but the beds were small twins (I forgot I wasn’t in the US!) but the beds were really comfortable, but the pillows were awful. The shower is inside your bedroom so you can hear the other person do all their business(!!) but whatever! The breakfast was plentiful, there was soooo much food, but the eggs, sausage, bacon etc were all cold each morning. Their hot plates don’t work and neither does their roller toaster. I’d invest in a microwave so the clients could warm their breakfasts and their coffees up if needed. The fresh breads were delicious, and there is an amazing little coffee shop two doors down from the hotel so I popped in there to grab a coffee before breakfast. There is a small gym room in the basement, and a little sauna. The shower had plenty of hot water, and the towels were big enough 😀 The hotel is literally 10 mins down to the main square. The staff were great. Would I stay again? Absolutely 100%

We stayed there as a couple at the start of July and were very surprised when we entered our room. The room was spacious, modern and well equipped and the size of the bathroom is bigger than some houses. We were also at the back of the hotel and our room had its own balcony. The staff were amazing, so approachable, friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was well worth the money with a variety to suit all. The hotel is well situated with a short walk into the old town. These aren’t negatives but suggestions, rooms to have espresso coffee making machines and a jacuzzi to go along with the sauna. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to book a stay in Krakow. Also when we got there late at night the lift was out of order and the staff couldn’t apologise enough and told us it would be working the morning of the following day, which it was.
