Small friendly hotel with an excellent reputation. Rooms spotless and contemporary (for Krakow), with neutral colours, plasma TVs and uncluttered presentation. Don't be put off by its location on the map, it is central with easy walking access to the Old Town. A super little hotel with a peaceful location.
The Ester Hotel is housed in a modern building, which none the less manages to blend in with the local historical surrounds. From the windows, guests will see the Remuh, Popper and Old Synagogues, the towers of St. Catherine's and Corpus Christi churches and numerous historical town houses. The small lobby is appointed in a fairly modern yet cosy style, in keeping with the rest of the hotel. All the good-sized guestrooms are decorated in neutral browns and beige colours. They are clean and well maintained, as are the tiled en suite bathrooms. Located on the ground floor, the restaurant serves exquisite Polish and Yiddish specialities, as well as international cuisine, all of which you can savour either in the air conditioned interior or in the picturesque courtyard. The Kazimierz district, surrounding the hotel, has been renewing itself after decades of neglect and this property is a part of the new dynamic atmosphere.
