About
Hotel Start - Krakow
Hotel Start is a straightforward 2-star property on Kapelanka Street, about a 25-minute walk from Bonarka City Center. The hotel keeps things simple: carpeted floors, AM/FM alarm clocks, and Wi-Fi in public areas. Rooms come in twin, triple, and quadruple configurations, each with a shower and heating.
Guests consistently mention the value: a hearty breakfast included in the price, free parking, and a tram stop right outside. It’s not a luxury stay, but for a low-cost base in Krakow, it delivers what matters most — clean rooms, helpful staff, and easy transport links.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Breakfast included and well regarded — Guests repeatedly praise the buffet for its variety, freshness, and quality — often calling it a highlight of the stay.
- Free parking on site — Multiple reviews mention free parking, and one notes a big parking lot, which is a practical plus in a city where parking can be scarce.

- Clean and comfortable rooms — Guests frequently mention clean rooms and daily housekeeping, with one noting the bathroom was particularly spotless.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms are basic and dated — This is a 2-star hotel, and several guests note it looks like a budget property — don't expect extras or modern decor.
- Not within walking distance of the old town — The hotel is about a 25-minute walk from Bonarka City Center, and guests note it's 'not too near the center' — you'll rely on the tram or bus.
- No air conditioning in rooms — Rooms come with heating but no cooling — a limitation in summer heat.
