The old Jewish district of Krakow called Kazimierz is much peaceful place than the heavily popular Old Town and Wawel Castle but not less charming. For years it was old forgotten place that just recently started coming back to life and revealing its secrets. The hotel is situated on Miodowa Street with many interesting, atmospheric places around: mini galleries, pubs, restaurants and traces of Jewish culture like synagogues, old cemetery, historic houses, commemorative plaques and monuments. The Old Town, Market Square and Wawel Castle are only one kilometers away- you can easily reach them on foot.

The hotel is old but carefully renovated. It rarely happens that you can lodge in a house remembering old times that has an elevator and several rooms adapted to the needs of disabled people. There are slightly over thirty rooms, which create the atmosphere of a small family hotel. The hotel staff is very nice and speaks good English. For a double room at less than 60 Euro it’s a steal.

Rooms

The four story building that houses the hotel has thirty five rooms in total (single, double and triple rooms). The rooms are pretty spacious, except for these located in the attic - you may bang your head on a lowly suspended joist.
All rooms have a bathroom with shower, telephone, satellite television, radio, mini-bar and access to the internet. Some rooms are air-conditioned.
It is possible to connect two neighboring rooms into a studio apartment with two rooms, which is a very convenient option for families with children.
The rooms facing the street maybe sometimes noisy - the numerous pubs are bustling with nightlife.

Some hotels in this quarter try to recreate the atmosphere of the interiors of old houses as faithfully as possible, by putting massive, often old looking wooden furniture into the rooms. The Kazimierz is different in this sense- its modern, pastel colored furniture is above all functional. However, you cannot get rid of the impression that some pieces need to be renovated or changed for newer ones soon.
Several rooms have been adapted to the needs of disabled people. Although the building of the hotel is rather old, it fortunately has an elevator.
There are some rooms for non-smokers.

Restaurant

The location of the hotel restaurant allows spending a day on visiting the surrounding sights and a quick return for dinner anytime. The mezzanine catches your attention and among its panes of stained glass your meal tastes even better. The dishes are just excellent so is the price. There is a sensationally good breakfast buffet compared to the standard other three star hotels have to offer. The only quibble with it is that you must have enough time for it and ideas what to eat.

You can also taste dishes of the Polish and international cuisine in an air-conditioned, two-storied hall, which is often used as a banqueting hall and therefore beautifully decorated.

Although the restaurant really makes a very good impression and you can sit in its cozy, yellow and sunny interiors for hours, we recommend, if you are staying longer, to look out for a pub (there are numerous such places around) and spend the evening upon a beer or have a dinner there.

Conference

There are three air-conditioned conference rooms in the Kazimierz for approximately150 people. The standard equipment includes an overhead projector, a flipchart, and amplification equipment. More technically advanced equipment is available for an additional fee. Two smaller rooms - the "Podziemie" room and the "Bachus" room are suitable for meetings of groups of approximately thirty people.
The hotel restaurant provides catering.

Additional services

The staff at the reception eagerly helps to get tickets for cultural events- they advise what is worth seeing in Krakow and organize sightseeing tours.

Guests have an inexpensive guarded parking lot at their disposal. It is situated on the same street as the hotel, near the Jewish cemetery. Depending on how long you plan to stay, the fee for a day parking is 20 to 40 PLN.
