About
Batory Annex
Batory Annex is a modest 9-room property set on Soltyka Street, about 1.1 km from Krakow's Main Square. It keeps things simple: no frills, but a 24-hour reception, luggage storage, and a paid airport shuttle cover the practical bases. The rooms include compact studios with a single bed and mixed dormitory beds, both with heating and a shower.
Guest reviews repeatedly highlight the human side of the place – staff who help with elderly parents, arrange packed lunches for early trips, and make solo travellers feel at home. The included breakfast gets consistent praise for its variety and freshness. It is not a luxury stay, but for its price and position, it earns its 7.9 rating.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Modest facilities — With only 9 rooms and a 6.2 facilities rating, expect a basic setup – no gym, pool, or on-site dining beyond breakfast.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this isn't the place – the policy is strictly no pets.
- Check-in ends at midnight — The 14:00–23:59 check-in window means late-night arrivals after midnight aren't accommodated.
- Limited room types — Only a mixed dormitory and a studio with a single bed are listed – not ideal for couples or those wanting more space.

7.9Verified guest“Our stay blew us away. The family room with the connecting door was so handy for our group – spacious, warm, and spotless. Breakfast was incredible, with a huge range of fresh, tasty options. The staff went out of their way, even packing us lunch for an early day trip. The location was perfect for seeing the sights, and the price was unbeatable. Clean, cosy rooms, welcoming staff, and a great included breakfast – this hotel beat our expectations and we wouldn't stay anywhere else next time.”
7.9Verified guest“We spent three nights here with the family while exploring the city. The connecting rooms were roomy and warm, just right for us. Breakfast had lots of fresh variety, and the staff were always ready to help. The packed lunch for our early morning excursion was a thoughtful touch. The spot was very convenient – a short stroll to the main square and other sights.”
7.9Verified guest“As a backpacker, I loved how clean the hotel was and the peaceful setting just outside the centre. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making me feel at home from the start. Breakfast had a great spread and set me up for the day. The rooms were big and warm, a comfy place to crash after long days out.”
