HGI on the river was fabulous. Would stay there again.
Do you really mean USD? If so, you were completely ripped off with that too.
Krakow Glowny to the downtown HGI is roughly 5km, it should cost 20-30 PLN not USD! 20 USD is 80 PLN. My usual Krakow hotel has a contract with a local taxi firm to drive to the airport, a distance of 20+km for 90 PLN.
