Krakow Airport (KRK) → Hotel Royal transfer

Hotel Royal on sw. Gertrudy 26-29 is a three-star historic property opened in 1898, located directly beneath Wawel Castle, a five-minute walk from Wawel Cathedral and eight minutes from the Main Market Square. The property offers 95 rooms in a neo-Gothic townhouse designed by Teodor Talowski, a restaurant and a location that has served visitors to the cathedral hill for over a century. The transfer from Krakow Airport usually takes 20-40 minutes over about 13 km. The standard route uses the A4 motorway, then Krasinskiego Avenue and Podzamcze Street to the drop-off on the Dietlowskie Planty side.

After landing, your chauffeur meets you inside arrivals with a name board, assists with the luggage and walks you to the car. Sw. Gertrudy borders the Old Town zone A but the address itself sits outside the zone - drop-off at the hotel is direct, although the street is one-way. Operationally this address is smooth: we end the ride at the hotel entrance and guests immediately have a view of the Wawel walls across the street.

Hotel Royal is a frequent choice for Wawel visitors seeking accommodation steps from the cathedral, value clients appreciating premium standard at moderate pricing, Polish tour groups combining Wawel with Kazimierz and guests appreciating Talowski's neo-Gothic architecture. We also serve families, for whom we prepare a child seat or booster, and tourists combining Krakow with a Wieliczka or Auschwitz route.

Included service covers live flight tracking, meet and greet pickup, 60 minutes of waiting after landing, luggage assistance, bottled water and child seats on request. We also handle return transfers with precise vehicle staging. Payment is completed online by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or BLIK. Cash is not accepted.

Best suited for

  • Wawel travellers seeking accommodation steps from the cathedral
  • Value clients appreciating premium standard at moderate pricing
  • Admirers of Teodor Talowski neo-Gothic architecture
