It is always an emotional return for me to cities I traveled through before I started my new life in Poland. As a tourist, I visited Poland four times before moving here in 2016. One of those trips saw a train journey to the popular city of Kraków.
At the time, I was coming into a low after my long term split with Panny and nowhere to live. On that trip, I toured Kazimierz, the Jewish Quarter as well as delving into the German Death Camps at Auschwitz and Birkenau while based in Krakow Old Town. Have a look at Hotel ibis Centrum, where I stayed in downtown Krakow.

All the staff in bars and restaurants by the Old Town Square speak English these days.
The flexible breakfast times at Ibis Hotels are something I really appreciate as a busy traveler. During the week, breakfast is served from 6.30 am – 10.00 am and at the weekend hours are from 6.30 – 11 am! I wish more hotels around the world had such a broad time frame for breakfast – not everyone is a morning person.
The range of food available is also brilliant! Lots of tasty salads, fruit and vegetables…
Cold meat, cheese, butter. Hot sausages, scrambled eggs as well as a range of breakfast cereals, coffee, tea, juice, water…
After a busy week, again it was a case of fresh smiles, Polish welcomes and pleasant staff when I rocked up to reception at the Ibis Krakow Centrum. I also chatted to managers Krzysztof and Wojtek at length. A great, friendly atmosphere is evident here.

When you stay loyal to a brand, you get used to their style and what to expect in every city they have a hotel.
