Pleasant hotel in the Casamierz district. About 20 min walk to the Old Town. Room comfy (with minbar and room safe) and staff pleasant and helpful. Breakfast very basic but cheap at 6GBP a head.

The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The location was really excellant being in the square yet at the top end of a main street. Easy to get everywhere and a nice square to be in. Quiet. A simple but comfortable spot. And it has an elevator that other places may not.

Flott hotell sentralt i Krakow

Fint hotell sentralt i det jødiske kvarteret i Krakow. Selv om det er et eldre hotell, var det godt vedlikeholdt, og veldig rent og fint.

Nie polecam,drogo ale brzydko

Hotel nie jest na poziomie hotelu 4 *. Brudna recepcja, balagan na pulpicie robia zle wrazenie przy wejsciu.W lazience niedorobki, w pokoju wiszace kable od telewizora, ktorego nie mozna wlaczyc. Wygodne lozko. Okropna jadalnia z brzydkimi lodowkami, sniadanie podane niechlujnie, jedzenie niesmaczne, zeschniete pomidory z mozzarella, jajecznica zimna, masla brak - jest tylko margaryna. Mila obsluga.Cena nieadekwatna do jakosci

Trevligt läge i de judiska kvarteren.

Hotell med vänlig personal. Frukosten var inte direkt överdådig men ingick i ett bra rumspris. Personalen är hjälpsam och tillmötesgående. Lugnt område trots det centrala läget. Trevligt restaurangtorg utanför.

The only negative was the ongooing renovation, causing fine white dust everywhere - this will end! Hotel Ester is a nice hotel, well located for the lively Kazimierz area.
