I have been coming to Poland for more than 20 years, and though I have stayed in fancier hotels I have never had a better experience than at Paszkowka Palace. The service is unbelievable -- the staff went out of their way to make our stay memorable in every way. The manager even drove us to a nearby bus stop in her own car when she learned that we had no other way to get there. I would definitely recommend that anyone staying here rent a car, because the bus service is not very good. However, even if you add in that expense, the Paszkowka Palace's rates are still a good deal. You'll end up with a larger room and a much more pleasant experience than in any of the downtown Krakow hotels, and you'll get to see some of the Polish countryside. Make sure to eat at the hotel restaurant a few times during your stay -- their food is wonderful, and the prices are very reasonable. My daughter has been asking me to try to reproduce their great Roquefort chicken at home, but so far I haven't succeeded. I've never submitted a hotel review before, but after staying a week at the Paszkowka Palace, I simply had to share my enthusiasm for this outstanding establishment. It will be my new home-away-from-home on every Krakow trip.
