Picolo recommends · Hotel in Krakow, Poland
Qubus Hotel Kraków
A glass-walled pool on the top floor looking over the Vistula, a few minutes on foot from the bridge into Kazimierz.
Qubus stands on the south bank of the Vistula in Podgórze, beside the Bernatka footbridge. Cross it and you are in Kazimierz, the old Jewish quarter, in a matter of minutes.
The building is modern and spacious, but the real draw is upstairs: a pool and sauna on the top floor, behind glass that faces across the river towards the Old Town. Podgórze itself has moved from industry to galleries and cafés.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Qubus Hotel Kraków
Our family pick for Krakow. The rooms are practical and roomy, the pool is a reward after hours on your feet, and Podgórze is quieter at night than Kazimierz. Parking is a bonus if you drive.
Couples after historic atmosphere will find it too functional. The Old Town is around twenty minutes away on foot, so this is not the place to step straight out onto the Main Market Square.
