Novum House Tomasza

They use AI bot to respond to you even if you call. I wanted to leave my luggage but there was no key in the key box. I called 10 times it was always said somebody is being notified und will call or show up at the premise. Nothing happened. Plus you have to climb 100+ stairs with your full luggage as no elevator exists thru a rather disgusting and run down stairways. Since they have a kitchen in the hallway to your room you will be waken up by the noise if someoene prepares their breakfast, really fun when this happens 6 am...

Could be cleaner. Shower holder not safe. Communication by phone just with AI, no answer via email.

I can't review the property itself because I was unable to get in and we had to stay somewhere else. Most of this is likely due to my own stupidity, and lack of computer knowledge, but they did not send me the information to get into the unit until I was already gone. They could at least put their phone number on the building door or something. I did not take my phone with me because it is old and doesn't work well in foreign countries but it's tiny. Can't replace it. Black comedy of errors, and expensive. Make sure you have entrance info before you get on the plane or cancel the reservation.

Never got a code for the lockbox. Couldn’t get through to the 24/7 helpline number. Had to purchase another place to stay. AFTER we booked and paid for another place to stay, we had someone else call with a Polish number and they got through the helpline. It seems only people will a Polish phone number can actually connect to Novum House helpline. Very unfortunate and frustrating to be left stranded.

Lovely apartment in a run down building, this is to be expected in Krakow. Ignore the state of the building as you enter as the room is absolutely lovely. I was not a fan of the AI phone system, I had to ring the property as they sent all the details in Polish. Check in was very confusing but once I received my email in English it was easy to follow instructions for getting into the room.

Great place, great location, just be aware it is 5 floors up without a lift.

Lovely apartment and well serviced.. Great location just off the square and with plenty Bars, Cafes etc around…Just beware of the stairs as has no lift and is quite a climb…

Schönes Zimmer in sehr praktischer Lage. In meinem Zimmer waren Vorhänge am gläsernen Bad angebracht, was in einigen älteren Bewertungen anders zu lesen war. Gleich gegenüber auf der Straße ist ein kleiner Supermarkt und es ist wirklich alles fussläufig zu erreichen. Was könnte verbessert werden: Ich hatte den Online Check In schon deutlich im Voraus gemacht und dort Info bekommen, die Check In Codes würden am Anreisetag ab 0h verfügbar sein. Leider wurde auf meine Mail vom frühen Morgen nach den Zugangsdaten bzw ob etwas falsch gelaufen sei erst zum Check in Zeitpunkt mit den Infos geantwortet. Also nicht wundern. Infos, die ich bekommen habe, waren alle englisch und gut verständlich.

The apartment was located in good and strategic area. But it was at 5th floor without elevator in old building. Overall opinion is good for me because it was clean, comfortable room and also quite. But the check-in procedure is very difficult first time and it was writtend in only polish language. You'll receive lot of emails regarding procedures to check-in the apartment, and it was mentioned to receive all codes starting from your reservation time and automatically resent each 30mins using automation to guarantee your entry also for last minutes booking. For me wasn't true and I got lot of issues to join my room. Anyway the 24/7 assistance helped me and all issues has been solved, but I spent lot of time for that.

Posizione centralissima a pochi passi dalla piazza. Struttura pulitissima e moderna. Un po' scomoda la salita al 5 piano senza ascensore

It was great

Amazing apartment just a stone throw away from the main square. Perfect spot to be right in the centre of where all the bars and restaurants are. We walked everywhere from here and was perfect for us. There’s not a lift so there’s a lot of steps to get up to the apartment but that’s just a minor when the apartment itself was so perfect. We were lucky enough to have had a balcony so had a lovely view of the top of the rynek glowny.

Nice location close to everything in the old town market Square. Lots of stairs but we knew that was what we signed up for. The instructions to find the apt and how to get in were a little confusing and we were not sent the email with our lockbox code as stated in the reservation. We ended up calling and it was rectified. Room is small (like a one bedroom out of an entire apartment) but very clean and modern. Bathroom shower was nice but not very practical or private because it was all glass windows. The only issue we had was that our room door would not lock properly so many of the days we had to sleep or leave everything in the room unlocked which was a bit unnerving. Overall it's a beautiful location close to everything, waking distance.

Very nice and well priced only downside is the 5 story hike to get to the room as there is no lift. It is nice and quiet well maintained and staff are very friendly and communicate with any issues.

Very quirky little property and a fantastic stay overall. Would definitely stay again - room was clean and stylish with a spacious bathroom and generally well-equipped. Location couldn’t be better for exploring Krakow on foot. Just be aware that the room isn’t in a hotel it’s in the top floor of a tenament building. In the end this made for quite a nice tucked-away and kind of authentic place to stay but very different to what I expected when we arrived. Not helped by the fact that we hadn’t been sent a self check-in code and entrance instructions were all in Polish - google translate came to the rescue and a quick call to main reception resolved this really smoothly but just make sure to check they send the code in advance! Apartment itself was spacious and in great condition, bed was comfy and all amenities provided.

Had a fantastic stay. Bed was comfortable and they had all we needed. Fantastic location

This property is in a perfect location and good room. Room 502 has an all glass bathroom. It’s stupid if you want to have the window open and go in the shower everyone in the complex will be able to see you and if someone knocks on the door will be able to see straight into the bathroom. *BE CAREFUL OF THE STEPS* I know on the add it states there is no lift however there is 9 flights of stairs which can be tricky when you’ve had a drink haha however apart from this was great

Great location, clean secure place

The room itself was amazing in cleanliness, comfort of the bed and futuristic-looking glass bathroom, well equipped. But it is on a very high 5th floor with no elevator, so unless you have a light overnight bag with your pjs and toothbrush, you’ll be sweating hauling your bags up that stairwell. And on a Saturday night it might not be a pleasing climb if someone before you didn’t make it to the nearest loo. Overall a great room for strong young trekkers. View of rooftops around the autumn trees was nice and it was a pleasantly quiet room.

Stayed end of September 2019 for four nights. The airport shuttle run is extra cost (that wasn't clear on the website, just advertised as one of the amenities). But do use the shuttle run organised by Novum Hotel reception as it was faultless in every way. Comfortable, on-time and priced correctly. The apartment... Lovely to stay in. You will be in one of four rooms that has its own shower room and toilet. There is a corridor where all four rooms congregate with additional tea making facilities etc. The most important part: The apparent is on the fifth floor with no lift. That means you will be walking up approximately 108 steps to get to your room. There are no amazing views over the city as the windows point inwards to a large courtyard. If you can live with walking up and down the stairwell then you won't have any complaints about staying here. It is minutes from the Market Square and you are right on top of places to eat and drink. Lastly: Go to Krakow. Wherever you choose to stay, just go to Krakow. It is stunning. The Market Square illuminated in the evening is a true delight. You will enjoy your time here. Alex (37)
