Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Maximum is often praised for its excellent location, making it easy to explore Krakow's attractions and offering convenient access to the main train station. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some of which overlook a park, and the inclusion of amenities like tea and coffee making facilities; while the breakfast is generally considered amazing with a wide selection, some have noted limited dessert options. Though trams pass by frequently, and some rooms closer to the street may experience some vibration, many find the hotel a great value for a city stay.
