Hampton by Hilton Krakow Airport

Introduction Here is my review of Hampton by Hilton Krakow Airport (not to be confused with Hilton Garden Inn Krakow Airport). Location There are now two Hilton properties near to Krakow airport. Hilton Garden Inn Krakow Airport is conveniently situated less than one minute's walk from the airport terminal. However, the newer Hampton by Hilton Krakow Airport is a cheaper option well worth considering.The hotel offers a free shuttle to and from the airport, but it is straightforward to walk. It took me only six minutes to walk from the hotel entrance to the airport departures entrance.To walk from the airport to the hotel, turn right out of the terminal. At the end of the terminal building, turn left and walk straight on, across a roundabout and single-track railway line and then you are at the hotel. The route is level, well-lit and the pavement on the right-hand side of the road is in good condition and suitable for luggage. I arrived on KLM around 11pm and had no problem walking to the hotel. After dark you can clearly see the red "Hampton" sign of the hotel almost immediately after leaving the terminal. The only people I saw were two hitch-hiking monks!View of the airport from the hotel. Exterior of hotel Check In Check in was quick and straightforward. I was informed about breakfast times and given a coupon for a Gold/Diamond snack, which I later redeemed for some chocolate. There are two elevators and you need to flash your card to get to your floor. Room The room was clean, standard and entirely as expected. BedroomTea tray with 1 still and 1 sparkling waterMirrorBedroomFridgeSafeFloor plan. 518 looks like the only non-standard room.Corridor Bathroom The bathroom was fine and clean. Dining Breakfast is taken in the lobby. There is a decent hot buffet with scrambled egg, Polish sausage / hot dog, bacon, hash browns, baked beans plus various cold items, cereals, and apple and orange juice. There are also two waffle makers. It was tasty and certainly a better option than taking breakfast in the airport lounge. No pictures of the buffet area which was quite busy. The lobby provides plenty of room for breakfast and there was no problem finding somewhere to sit.The bar offers 500ml draft lager for PLN 17.Lobby Lobby Gym There is a fitness centre in the basement. Apparently there is parking there too, although I also saw an outside car park behind the hotel. Service Service was polite and efficient from check-in to check-out. Overall Overall this is a good property and a solid option for either a late arrival or an early departure from Krakow airport. Although Hilton Garden Inn is directly connected to the airport, the Hampton is barely less convenient and can be recommended as a good airport hotel.
