Stayed in the comfort suite and really liked it! Bathroom was great, A/C worked to a charm, room was large but cute. Kind of wished we had stayed in the Old Town area, but it was no problem at all getting up there...maybe a 20 minute walk to the square with the Castle half that. The morning breakfast was very good...about every other day had the option of ordering made to order eggs/omelettes, etc. included. We live in Italy, so never went to it, but a highly rated Italian restaurant was on the ground floor.

Very nice room. Right in the middle of the Jewish section of town, if you can tolerate being in the midlle of a Jewish tourism industry without any Jewish persons anywhere in sight (and you can well imagine why).Try to stay away from room #1 as it adjoins the little reception area which can get mildly noisy. Note also that there is a steep and quite long staircase from the street to the reception area (the hotel begins on the second floor) and NONE of the hotel staff will bring up your suitcase which my wife and I were unable to do. Fortunately the waiter of the excellent restaurant on the first floor was happy to oblige. I gave him a nice tip.

Hotel Karmel is in the Jewish Quarter about 5 minutes walk from Wavel Castle and 15 Minutes from the Old Town square. The hotel is small and friendly and all the staff could not have been more helpful. The meal we had in the restaurant was the best of the trip. Krakow feels perfectly safe to walk around at all times. The jewish quarter has numerous galleries and art houses as well as some excellent bars. I would certainbly return to the Hotel Kamel although if money was no object I may consider something a bit more central although I would then be concerned about the street noise as the Old Town is lively. Overall a fabulous trip!
