Don't know what you are looking for but we stayed here a couple of years ago, was fairly close to the main square

Don't rule out 'apartment' hotels - stayed in them in other cities in Poland but unfortunately not Krakow so I can't give a recommendation.
Usually larger than normal hotel rooms and with kitchen etc.
Not full of drunk people - they made the English stag party groups unwelcome some time ago (thank god)!

Stay in town centre - then you can walk everywhere. Horse & carriage ride (your lad will like that!)
Certainly visit salt mines and Auchwitz is very well done.
Take 30 minute tram ride to Novahut to see what a true 70s communist town looks like. The tram ride is the best bit!!
Castle is worth a look around.
Lovely place to visit (but don't be drinking the 9% beer - it's just too good!!!)

I've stayed here https://en.queenhotel.pl was decent, 10 min stroll to the main square.
I didn't check the prices just now, but it was reasonable when I went considering the quality of the accommodation.

Krakow is dirt cheap for hotels, even the very best central places are a fraction of what similar accommodation would cost in the UK. Nice place.
I think I'll doing hotel and flights separately; easyJet seems to pick lowish quality and some are a fair walk from the action.Gary29 said:

Salt mines are worth a visit
Auschwitz is nearby i believe, I have not been.
I like Krakow!
I have just returned from the same hotel and same almost tours thoroughly impressed ,walked around and absolutely felt safe no drunks everyone was decent ,puts the Uk to shame .Salt mines are worth a visit

Possibly due to the way the Police are over there?
I've been told a few times by Pole's that about ten years ago the Police there became firmer.
Not sure how true that is but at work turned up to a number of pissed angry large Polish lads on two occasions and they suddenly stop their behaviour and on one of those occasions gone from violent to friendly/wary.
Whereas British lads are like a firework in a bottle.

So Mrs Calobra is sceptical, she sees Lisbon, Split etc as more 'her' but I say try something new. She thinks the food will be typically Russian...
Will a faux sophisticat' be happy?
The food is not Russian. Plenty of choice in that respect. A faux sophisticating will be fine!Will a faux sophisticat' be happy?
I’ve been to Krakow twice and stayed at antique apartments both times. Various apartments near to the main square and at a great price.
I agree with others, Auschwitz/birkenau are must visit locations if you go.
Plenty of restaurants, the food is very nice. Loved an Italian I went to, steak tartare was lovely in the hotel under our apartment. Ate rabbit in one place, the meat was nice but the sauce was like a weird Korma sauce which was different with potatoes and veg.
All in, I’d go back in an instant and probably will at some point soon.
