Why It Matters
Selected by Tablet Hotels (now part of the Michelin Guide hotel selection) for its sharp design credentials and tech-forward experience. PURO Hotels was the first hotel chain in Poland to earn LEED Gold certification across all properties. The brand has devoted fans across Poland since launching in Wrocław in 2011.
A design-forward 4-star hotel right next to Kraków Główny train station, making it one of the most convenient drops in the city. PURO Kraków Stare Miasto was built by B'Art architects and styled by Paradowski Studio, with a retro aesthetic that blends mid-century modernism and vintage glamour. Rooms are minimal and calm, lobby is grand and layered with curated art — and there is no spa, so don't come here expecting a wellness retreat.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Classic Plus Room
Five extra square metres over the Classic makes a real difference — this room feels properly airy. Large windows flood the room with natural light. Adds a Marshall speaker and a Nespresso machine, which makes morning coffee significantly better. Still king bed, still touchscreen controls, but the extra kit makes this a noticeable step up.
King · 23 sqm
Classic Room
The entry-level room and also the most compact. At 18 sqm it is tighter than some hostels, but well-designed so it never feels cramped. A king size bed, Hilding hypo-allergenic bedding, touchscreen tablet to adjust lighting and temperature, and soundproofed windows make for a genuinely good night's sleep. Bathroom is private with heated floors.
King · 18 sqm
Corner Deluxe Room
At 36 sqm, this is by far the most spacious standard room at the hotel. The corner position brings windows on two sides, flooding the space with natural light from multiple angles. King bed, Marshall speaker, Nespresso, and touchscreen tablet controls. The layout feels genuinely apartment-like — a serious upgrade over the standard rooms.
King · 36 sqm
Deluxe Room
Same 23 sqm as the Classic Plus but with a queen bed instead of king, and adds a dressing gown and slippers — small touches that shift the feel. Comes with a complimentary coffee and tea set, Marshall speaker, and Nespresso. Good for a couple who do not need a massive bed but want a bit more luxury in the extras.
Queen · 23 sqm
Suite
The top category at 29 sqm — technically smaller than the Corner Deluxe, but what sets it apart is a separate lounge and living area. Queen bed, Marshall speaker, Nespresso, and touchscreen tablet controls. Designed to let you properly spread out: lounge on one side, sleeping on the other. Good for longer stays or anyone working remotely.
