Hotel Wenecki

The Kraków−Częstochowa Upland


The Wenecki is the nicest hotel at its price point in town, with the only drawback being its location about 20 minutes’ walk from the monastery (though close to the train and bus stations). Rooms are slightly frayed, but clean. The beds are firm and the baths have handy extras, such as hair dryers. Breakfast costs an additional 20zł.
