The breakfast was good, the location was very good for the Jewish Quarter but 18 minute walk to the Old Quarter! The staff were very helpful but they were understaffed at the outside restaurant. The facilities in the room were also very good with the exception of the TV where every channel was in Polish with the exception of BBC World News!

A wonderful hotel I stay in often. It's beautiful and the klezmer music everyday is delightful. One can hear the music from one's room. And sitting in the cafe is just bliss with a drink. The staff members are always super friendly. The location is best---right in the Kazimierz heart and center. Wonderful hotel.

The food isn't very good. Don't go here for the food. It's my only complaint. They need a new chef. It's poor tourist stuff, best to avoid it. But I don't go here for the food, but rather the location. And having a drink outside is great.

Nothing to dislike
This hotel is in the very quaint Jewish quarter and very traditional.lots of interesting places nearby. To walk to the main square is about twenty minute walk, easy flat walk. The staff were helpful and friendly. My breakfast was not included, but I decided to breakfast there each day. Reasonable price Coffee was good I have to have my caffeine fix! choice of food good too I have been to krakow before but in a different area.When I was there last I did a reccy and found the Ester. Room was fine, very comfortable bed, lovely plump soft pillows and good hot shower. Room service was good with a very pleasant lady making the bed etc. Yes, I did leave a tip for her !! You can book excursions from hotel they are no more expensive than other outside agents. Coming home I booked taxi from hotel for £20 to airport, as I had looked at other taxi services but hotel price was the same, and very reasonable. I have already recommended Ester hotel to three lots of different friends who are visiting soon! All staff er good, particularly the young man who served me breakfast.
