“Location! location! location!”
Perfectly located on the main square in Kazimierz--near restaurants (the hotel has a restaurant with klezmer entertainment), the synagogues of the Jewish quarter and a 10 minute walk over the bridge to the ghetto and the office of Schindler's factory--15 minutes from the Rynek. Despite the location, I did not hear noise once I was upstairs. Hotel is nicely maintained and clean with recent bathroom updates. As one person, I had a single on the 4th floor which meant schlepping a suitcase one flight (elevator goes 3 flights) and the room was small (part of a onetime attic I think) but it was fine. They have larger rooms on the other floors. A nice breakfast--cereal, yogurt, salads, etc. For my purposes, it was absolutely perfect.
“Plan for an upgrade”
My room was dreadfully small; in fact, I think the bathroom was about the same size. It was also very dark. It certainly was not one of the photos on their site -- I felt robbed and said so to the staff. They moved me to a larger room and did not charge me which I thought was excellent. My concern would be for the unsuspecting traveler who encounters the same thing only to find that the hotel is fully booked and no other rooms available. Personally, I think the hotel is not a four star, but a three star by American standards. Good breakfasts, friendly staff, very clean rooms and lobby.
“Will definitely recommend this hotel!”
Lovely little hotel surrounded by top notch restaurants!
“A Bit of Paris in Krakow”
Hotel Ester is in the center of Kazimierz. I had visited Kazimierz 15 years ago. It was a rundown part of town. Now it's a nightlife center full of outdoor cafes and Klezmer music. Hotel Ester was wonderful. It's a small pearl of a hotel with an amazingly good restaurant and cafe. Kudos to the Ester salad. I favored the Borscht. I was traveling with family, and booked two rooms - one with a full size bed (felt more like a very large queen), the other with twin beds. The rooms were beautifully appointed and quite large, the beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were modern. And, the air conditioning was easy to regulate. Breakfast is included. The breakfast buffet had enough to please all of us: herring for me, chocolate cold cereal for the younger ones, and very good coffee. The hotel staff was extremely friendly. They helped us book tours around Krakow and gave us walking directions to nearby sites, and they helped me make a local phone call. ( I don't speak Polish.) I highly recommend Hotel Ester. In fact, I've already recommended it to a friend who's visiting Krakow in the fall.
“Comfortable hotel in quiet neighborhood”
This is a small, well-run hotel. The front desk staff are very friendly and helpful, and speak perfect English. They have a nice buffet breakfast with quite a bit of variety. Our room was good sized, but the bathroom was small. The shower was in the bathtub, which was a little hard to get into. The room had a well funtioning A/C unit, and we had 3 windows that could be opened. The location of the hotel is on a pleasant town square, with a line of restaurants down the whole block. So it was a busy place in the evening, but not noisy or problematic at night. We walked everywhere from this location.
“A great place to stay!”
The Ester was a wonderful hotel. I was in Poland for vacation and just had a great time. I travel a good deal, and I wish every hotel I stay at was as nice as the Ester!
