It’s just ten minutes walk from Krakow’s bustling Market Square. The hotel stresses that is ’set in a scenery that brings back the lost world of the Chassidim, the Tzaddikim and the rabbis, in a place where Polish and Jewish cultures still exist side by side away from the town’s clamour’. That is, of course pure exaggeration – the Jewish culture brought back and boomed in Krakow in the 90’s now lost its impact. The best argument for that thesis is a stagnation, or at least lack of progress and wit, possible to notice in yearly Jewish Cultural Festival. Even though it’s really good location and one should be satisfied with it. Central location gives you a possibility to reach every sight on foot, and have reach social life in the evenings and nights.
Also staying with this hotel you have the best room with a view – from your hotel window, you will see the Remuh, Popper, and Old synagogues, the towers of St. Catherine’s and Corpus Christi churches and numerous historical townhouses. So – something worth going for.

As for three star hotel – The Ester Hotel has it’s own restaurant serving Polish, Jewish and International cuisine. Ester Restaurant is renowned for its unequalled family atmosphere and professional service.
Another facility is the conference center equipped with overhead projector, screen, video and catering service.

That is a really nice Hotel – center of Kazimierz – the best location ever, lots of interesting places – pubs, clubs, museums and so on … within 5 minutes walking distance. Also bustling life of Krakow is amazing. Really recommend it to anyone. Also it’s not so expensive. It’s not cheap either, but I was happy to stay there and you can’t really put a price on that.

the best about this hotel is that it’s located really well – right in the center of Krakow’s former Jewish district. And everything was just great
