Unique old hotel such great ambiance, great breakfast, great outdoor restaurant, very unique furnishings and art in comfortable superior room with modern bathroom
Pleasant hotel in the Casamierz district. About 20 min walk to the Old Town. Room comfy (with minbar and room safe) and staff pleasant and helpful. Breakfast very basic but cheap at 6GBP a head.
Hotel nie jest na poziomie hotelu 4 *. Brudna recepcja, balagan na pulpicie robia zle wrazenie przy wejsciu.W lazience niedorobki, w pokoju wiszace kable od telewizora, ktorego nie mozna wlaczyc. Wygodne lozko.
Okropna jadalnia z brzydkimi lodowkami, sniadanie podane niechlujnie, jedzenie niesmaczne, zeschniete pomidory z mozzarella, jajecznica zimna, masla brak - jest tylko margaryna.
Mila obsluga.Cena nieadekwatna do jakosci
We were vewry pleased with teh cleanliness and comfort

Erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Meubilair eetzaal aan vervanging toe. Ontbijt voor vier sterren restaurant is karig. Kiezen uit drie varianten, misschien door COVID.
Clean, spacious bedrooms with fridge. Good location - walkable to old town and Schlinders factory/museum.

Trevligt läge i de judiska kvarteren.
Hotell med vänlig personal. Frukosten var inte direkt överdådig men ingick i ett bra rumspris.
Personalen är hjälpsam och tillmötesgående.
Lugnt område trots det centrala läget. Trevligt restaurangtorg utanför.
ravintolapalvelu ei asiakasystävällistä. Vain yksi nuori pitkä miestarjoilija oli erittäin ystävällinen. Vanha mies tarjoilija erittäin töykeä. Vastaanotto palvelu erinomaista.
The only negative was the ongooing renovation, causing fine white dust everywhere - this will end! Hotel Ester is a nice hotel, well located for the lively Kazimierz area.
