A wonderful, clean and well located place that is comfortable and convenient.
Pros:

Great location right in the old Jewish quarter, walkable to many things, near the river, very cozy, clean room with AC and 2 beds. We loved Poland and staying here was a delight! We took some all day tours and the meeting point was a convenient 5 minute walk. Would recommend this hostess and rooms

Cons:

No elevator

Spacious, comfortable and good air conditioning.
Pros:

Spacious room in the heart of Kraków’s Jewish Quarter.

Cons:

Room overlooked central courtyard which I asked for thinking it would be quiet, however the courtyard is used for utilities (air conditioning, exhaust fans etc), so very noisy if you open the windows. The shower unit is very small in a decent sized bathroom.

Karmel na serce ❤️
Pros:

Największy atut, to lokalizacja w samym centrum Kazimierza, ale także przyjemny wystrój, zarówno apartamentu jak i całej kamienicy, świetny kontakt z menadżerką oraz Panią sprzątającą sąsiedni pokój.
Na pewno wrócę tu za rok

Cons:

Nie było czego kwestionować 😁, tak na siłę - może jedynie brakowało nam drugiego pilota do klimatyzatora w drugim pokoju

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und empfehlen die Unterkunft Familie und Freunden.
Pros:

Haus und Zimmer haben Charakter - sie sind nicht auf "alt" gemacht, sondern in sehr gutem Erhaltungszustand. Freundlichkeit und Sauberkeit waren hervorragend. Die Lage ist nicht nur ein idealer Ausgangspunkt für die Erkundung von Kazimierz und Podgórze, auch zu Wawel und Altstadt ist es selbst zu Fuß nicht weit. Das Haus liegt verkehrsberuhigt (die einmal wöchentliche nächtliche Straßenreinigung umso direkter zu hören) und damit meistens lärmfrei. Frau Brynkus gab aktive Untestützung bei der Organisation einer stark nachgefragten Tagestour.

Cons:

Das Frühstück findet (jedenfalls vorläufig) in einem Café um die Ecke statt. Das ist problemlos und auch dort war man sehr freundlich. Allerdings ist die Kost-Auswahl recht einseitig mit Schwerpunkt auf warmen und fleischhaltigen Speisen. Eine Erweiterung um frische Kost, z.B. mit Naturyoghurt und Obst, wäre eine wesentliche Aufwertung.

I know where to stay during my next visit to Krakow!
Pros:

The best possible location in the very centre of Kazimierz provides a lot of opportunities to walk around. Actually, all tourist attractions are reachable by foot - both in Kazimierz and Ghetto district and in the Old City. It is located in a short pedestrian part of Kupa street. The self check in procedure in is very clear. The house keeper is a nice and friendly lady (sorry, I don't know her name). You can ask everything and will get quickly. My single room was tiny, but absolutely enough for me since I'm not big. Very clean room and the bathroom with the shower cabin (which is also quite tiny, pls keep it in mined when booking a single room). Water pressure in the shower is good which is not very typical for historical buildings. You can open a window to get a fresh air or use a conditioning system. Please note that upper floors are reachable by staircase only.

Cons:

My bed was a bit too soft, but I slept quit well after walking all day long. Just note if you have issues with your back. Since the restaurant in under restauration now, the hotel provided me with the vouchers for breakfasts. To eat a breakfast you should walk about 3 min to the Giona restaurant. No a big problem, but I would prefer eating breakfast in the hotel. Also Giona's coffee was almost undrinkable, but this is not the hotel's fault.

Im Hotel mittelmäßig, aber Krakau ist eine Reise wert und die Krakauer waren oft sehr hilfsbereit!
Pros:

Nahe am Zentrum

Cons:

Wenigsten mal jemand für eine Sprechstunde an der Reception. Alles mußte man selber rausbekommen, auch wo das Frühstück ist, bei dem man ca. 6 Speisen wählen konnte, alles mit reichlich Eiern zubereitet, wers mag. Ein Tausch, selbst gegen eine preiswertere Pizza war nicht möglich, mußte man extra bezahlen! Für einen Aufenthalt über einige Tage nicht so schön. Das Zimmer hatte ca. nur 10 m2 und elegant war es auch nicht und dafür ca. 144 € pro Nacht, schlechtes Preisleistungsverhätnis. Die schönen Bewertungen aus der Vergangenheit treffen leider nicht mehr ganz zu!
Fenster mußte man auf Grund des Lärmes, auch in der Frühe, nachts schließen.

Best location, great for solo travel
Pros:

Absolutely loved the location of this hotel, in the middle of Kazimierz, Krakow’s historic Jewish Quarter. The street life was vibrant with restaurants all around, yet the hotel is very quiet. Single room is simple in a classical style and great value for money. I would definitely stay here again in Krakow.
