Nice two room apartment
Good location, tram station just round the corner. Was a nice two room apartment with kitchen area. Few issues getting into building as was self-check-in and hotels.com caused issues with the lack of information on when to expect details. Only other issue was TV in bedroom was internet only and the WiFi didn’t reach that room a lot of the time.

Nice, once you can check in...
I arrived 5 minutes after the staffed check-in time of 5pm, but I don't think it'd matter, I didn't see anyone at their reception my entire stay. If you're unlucky enough to miss reception, like I was, you'll need to call to a local Krakow number to get instructions over the phone. I'm not sure how this would work if you don't speak either Polish or English. The street it is on has a fair bit of noise, their phone lines are terrible, and it is incredibly difficult to hear/understand their directions. All of the instructions given could have been provided via email ahead of arrival and reduced the stress of check-in by an order of magnitude. I would hate to attempt check in late in the evening. I saw another review complains about the floor boards and thought they might be exaggerating... Nope. Not only do you hear your every step but anyone in a nearby rooms, too. All of that said; it's a very convenient location, well priced, with nice facilities in the room (desk, air-conditioning, clothes racks, etc). There's near by cheap places to eat breakfast as well as all your usual tourist attractions.

Everything was lovely and clean, the shower pressure is amazing, it is conveniently located so close to Old Town with transport close by and we even had a balcony. You didn’t really see any staff but it was all safe. My only negatives would be 1. So many stairs, 2. The pillows are short instead of long but I don’t know if this is a polish thing, 3. If you are a light sleeper you can hear the trams going by outside throughout the night. My suggestion would be to get a table and chairs for the balcony but honestly it was a great stay and would definitely stay again!

If you are looking for hotel like accommodations, this is not the place for you. This was more like a flat/apartment. We did not see the reception personnel once. We tried calling using the phone they had in the “lobby” and it would not connect. We did not have any coffee pods for day 2 and fortunately we saw a housekeeper and were able to get some. The pillows were horrible. It had no elevator, which we knew would be the case, but it was a challenge getting our luggage up since we had to go up five flights of stairs. They mentioned there was a continental breakfast but we could not find it. Overall, we were disappointed and expected much more. Now, as far as location goes, this place was great. Very close to everything. We walked nearly everywhere.

Excellent location, really close to the old town. Self-check in was easy. It was rather loud in the apartament due to tram tracks right outside of our windows but I believe that is the cost of staying in the city centre. Decent Smart TV was a nice touch. Comfortable bathroom and kitchenette. My only complaint would be that at the time of booking I wasn’t aware that they will want to pre-approve the payment a week before our arrival, especially with free cancellation as our chosen option (and before our time to cancel the booking has passed). I could not find that information in any of the confirmation emails I received after booking or in the place’s policies. The way it was worded when I was booking the apartments I was led to believe that I will pay at the check in. Only found out about the need for pre-approved payment when they couldn’t secure money from my account and I received an email that if it is not resolved I will loose my reservation (at that point the same rooms were at twice the price of my booking). That caused some stressful moments but thankfully was resolved easily. I understand that the physical reception was closed due to covid-19 but I think information about pre-approved payment should be made clear to customers at the time of booking. Overall I would definitely recommend this place if you’re staying in Krakow for couple of days.

We had to leave the hotel after Poland was put on lockdown due to coronavirus, the staff were more than happy to assist us in instructions on how to leave the country. All this aside, we were in love with the place almost instantly, we felt right at home, rooms were spacious to stay they were small rooms and could not fault them in any way. Clean and lots of personal touches added to the rooms, we will be returning later on in the year to this exact accommodation once again as we could not imagine staying anywhere else, great location!!

Nice apartments style rooms with a very clean modern kitchen with all facilities. We left a big box of English tea bags and milk for other guests but stick a few essentials in your case to save having to buy when your there. Perfect location

Convenient, convenient, convenient.
Immaculately clean, attention to details, fantastic location just outside of Old Town. Everything within walking distance. Front desk extremely helpful and nice when we had questions about the surrounding area. Compact space with plenty of hot water and good water pressure in the shower. Bed was comfortable, I wasn't a fan of the pillows, my wife didn't mind them (personal preferences). Construction on the exterior of the building right by our window was the only thing keeping me from giving this place a perfect score. We were instructed to not turn on the A/C due to the construction, and it was quite warm in the small room while my wife was blow drying and flat ironing her hair (and to be fair, I think it was a bit warmer than usual for this time of year here). We did open the windows, but they were soon taped shut so we could not open them any more. Construction begins at 7am, which put any ideas of sleeping in "to rest." No construction on the weekend. For those light sleepers, like myself, the local train runs all night and our room fronted the road in which the train ran, though less often after midnight. Earplugs were provided (one of the many "attention to details."), which don't do me any good Overall a fantastic stay, I just could've done with less noise as I am a VERY light sleeper.

Although we knew there was no elevator it should be made clearer that the hotel rooms are only on the top two floors. We climbed 72 stairs several times each day. Unfortunately the city decided to work on the tram tracts outside our side of the building each night we were there. The noise was deafening and we were awake all night for both nights. The room was lovely and the staff very courteous but the experience was not positive.

Pros: Good location. All main attractions within walking distance. Good size room. Kitchen area and daily maid service. Modern clean bathroom. Air conditioning unit. Cons: Our room was next to main road, and trams run all night, you literally feel the building vibrate as they pass, hence not suitable for light sleepers. No lift and unsuitable for any person who struggles with stairs, especially when carrying luggage. Television did not work, informed reception but they did not resolve. No maid service on last day of stay, had to ask reception for clean towels, luckily caught them before they close reception at 5pm. Wood block flooring in room was all loose underfoot and squeaking when walked on, however clean so not really an issue.

We had a very nice stay at Novum House in the 1 bed suite. Unfortunately the stove was in the process of being replaced which reduced the in room facilities. In terms of floor space, I'm unclear if this is much larger than the studio rooms (simply from looking at pictures). The bathroom was lovely, with plenty of in-room amenities such as hairdryer, shampoo, shaving kit. Check-in from 2pm and the reception very kindly held our bags for an hour until we could access our room. Check-out from 12pm (or late check-out 4pm) and again very kindly held bags until reception closed at 6pm. We found the bedroom a little disappointing; very narrow space around the bed, very hard mattress & curtains that covered the radiator and prevented the room warming up. This wouldn't deter a stay, however I would recommend a change of curtains as we ended up folding these up as it was impossible to sleep in the cold room otherwise.

Novum house review.
Really good place location wise. The castle is only a few hundred metres in one directions, the main square is less than 500 meters and the barbican is about the same distance as the castle in the opposite direction. Lots of cheap restraunts nearby. Main downside is the 80 + steps to the reception. Not really suitable for anyone who is not able to climb stairs. There's no tea making facility in the room, only a kitchenette shared with all the other guests. Overall had an excellent stay.
