Krakow hotel for solo female traveler in September

Tribe was fantastic- literally thru the mall from the train and across the road.. There are good cafes and restaurants 5-10 mins walk and the area is well lit etc, because it is so close th the station. I went to Auschwitz with a small tour group and was picked up at the hotel at 8.00 am. And dropped back about 3.00. Do go to Nowa Huta and see the wonderful Arka Pana church. I could have touristed in Krakow for at least a week- was 5 days and I think about it often (there in late sept)

Thank you Jennie. Glad to hear it! Which type of room did you have? I read some reviews some rooms are very small.
Is City View worth the extra price?

Not a solo female…but our stay some time ago at the Hotel Wielopole was one of the best ever. Great location for walking to major sights, safe area, comfortable if slightly old fashioned room, immaculate bathroom. The staff were as helpful and friendly as any we’ve encountered in many years of years of travel. Breakfast now appears an additional charge but when we visited it was a huge buffet. It may be. a bit beyond your price range but eliminating breakfast and grabbing a bialy from nearby vendors may suffice. The ratings on Booking are about as high as possible. You may consider it. Also…we intended to purchase a tour to Auschwitz but were overwhelmed by the various choices ( we had no interest in arranging bus, train , tickets on our own) and folks at the desk offered to arrange a mini bus tour, door to door…well worth the money spent, convenient and easy. Safe travels. Also a once in forever experience …when we checked in the clerk told us the room rate had declined since we reserved and gave us the the reduced rate. Happily appreciated.

Joy, we had the twin room. it looked across to the mall where the station and I think it was 4th floor. Didn't feel like we needed a view but the outlook was pleasant. They routinely dont put singles or pairs on a floor with tour groups. Tribe staff were excellent and advised us about Salt mine visit. We had advance booked the tour to Auschwitz.

Hi, I’m a solo female traveler & stayed at Hotel Europejski which is right across the street from Krakow Glowny. Not in front of the station but on the left as you exit the station.
It’s an old European style hotel. Room was adequate for me. It lacked AC in the summer which was tough but if you’re going in cooler weather that wouldn’t be an issue. Breakfast was a nice sized buffet w many options from what I remember. The bus terminal for a bus to Auschwitz is behind Krakow Glowny.
I ate dinner one night at a restaurant a few blocks down the street. Had a chicken Cesar salad.

It was also convenient being across from the huge mall. At night I went over there to shop. Or you could eat there too—plenty of options.
Everything felt safe to me but I am very careful & don’t let my guard down anywhere especially around crowded stations & malls.

Thank you. AC is a must for me but good to know of options and the general area there.
The Tribe has good rate if I book on their website (with cancelation option) - I'm inclined to just get something saved for now. It appears to have a mini fridge too which is a huge plus.
I really enjoy staying closer to main train station when the area is safe to do so. Had that in Copenhagen and Tokyo. Tokyo had great and reasonably priced restaurants on the top of the mall connected to the station, and a market underneath. Seems similar with Krakow - always fun to visit a supermarket at a different country, grab some snacks and drinks for day trips and late night munchies.

I plan to familiarize myself with the train and bus departure for Auschwitz at the station ahead of time. I'm dedicating a full day for Auschwitz and probably won't have enough time to visit salt mines. I only have 2 days in Krakow and so much to see! Definitely doing a walking tour of Kazimierz.
