Kameralny hotel nie dla każdego
Pros:

Bardzo kameralny hotel w samym sercu dzielnicy Kazimierz. Czystość na wysokim poziomie, uprzejmy personel, pokój dość dobrze wyposażony.

Cons:

Pokój z widokiem na nieciekawe podwórze, bardzo mały, słaba izolacja akustyczna (słychać wszystko z korytarza). Śniadanie smaczne lecz skromne. Parkowanie problematyczne. Hotel raczej nie dla niepełnosprawnych. Cena raczej nieadekwatna do standardu.

ESTER KRAKOW
Pros:

Beste beliggenheten i det jødiske kvarter- Gamlebyen.
God frokost.
Rent & pent overalt.

Cons:

*Skuffet over at vi nesten ikke kjente oss igjen, etter siste visitt for 9 år siden.

*Store endringer rent planmessig i 1 etg/ resepsjonsområdet. Stort område avstengt.

* Uteservering nedlagte, nå bilparkering.

*Restaurant nedlagt og intet å få kjøpt.

*Melk til kaffen på rommet, måtte kjøpes via minibar.

*Minibaren ble ikke fyllt opp.

*Vi ble ikke opplyst om nedstengt Restaurant eller manglende balkong som var booket, før et par dager i forkant av oppholdet.

* Ble lovet et værelse med god plassering og utsikt som kompensasjon, dette ble ikke innfridd.
Utsikt inn i en sidegate og ditto gårdsvegg midt i mot.


*Bestilte 3 mnd i forkant!

Fortjener dessverre ikke sin 4 **** stjerner!!!

Adequate place to stay in Krakow Jewish Quarter
Pros:

Location in the Jewish Quarter was convenient, staff very friendly and helpful with arranging tours and adjusting our reservations as flights changed and we added friends to the trip.

Cons:

It's an old building, hallways are narrow and lighting in the hall are on motion sensors that were not always responsive. Rooms are small. Could use refreshing.

Perfekt für einen Kurzzrip nach Krakau
Pros:

Tolle Lage, schöne Zimmer

Cons:

Restaurant, Bar war geschlossen wegen Bauarbeiten. Darauf wurde leider nicht hingewiesen. Grundsätzlich kein Problem, da genug Alternativen vor Ort sind. Finde aber, sowas ist schon hilfreich zu wissen.
