A short guide to City Centre

Krakow’s historic core centres on Rynek Glowny, the largest medieval square in Europe, with its pavement cafes and market. Cobbled streets lead from it past grand merchants’ houses, ornate baroque churches, and atmospheric courtyards and cellars. The Old Town’s southern end is dominated by Wawel Hill, site of the royal castle and cathedral, and beyond lies Kazimierz, the historic Jewish district.

Recommended Trip type: All Others "Worth visiting"

Reviewed by L of Bothwell, Scotland on May 4, 2009

Compact but very comfortable hotel set in a small but busy square ideal for touriste to the jewish quarter with numerous good restaurants a few minutes away and easy access to tours and trams and buses. The Rubinstein staff were very friendl,spoke good English and very helpful with everything we asked for The room was comfortable a little dark but a superb bathroom made up for any small faults. Food excellent with an ample buffet breakfast mixing a variety of foods from different countries-pickles/ smoked salmon/ , cheses/cereals and lots of fresh fruit. Good value for money.

Reviewed by H of Sowerby, Thirsk North Yorkshire on Mar 3, 2009

Having visited Krakow the previous year we new the area we wanted to stay this time. Choosing the Rubinstein was easy because it 'ticked all our boxes'. It has been sympathetically restored and has lots of charm, from the exterior it looks like a doll's house. The bedroom was a generous size with plenty of storage, white cotton sheets on the bed and a fully stocked mini-bar. The bathroom had underfloor heating,housed fixed and hand held showers, the obligitary toiletries and hairdryer.The resaurant was light and airy and offered a vast array of breakfast treats ranging from sweet, savoury, hot or cold all accompanied by the friendly staff. The Rubinstein is in a calm peaceful location and in a great position for exploring and is in walking distance from all tourist attractions.

Hotel Rubinstein 2009.10.29
Recommended Trip type: Romance "Flott hotell"

Reviewed by Vebjørn of Hønefoss on Oct 29, 2009

Dette var et flott hotell med spennende interiør. Vi fikk en litt dårlig start da de hadde masse å gjøre den dagen vi ankom. Rommet vi fikk tildelt var ikke klargjort når vi fikk det. Det var ikke ryddet eller vasket. Vi gikk derfor ut for å spise lunsj, og da vi kom tilbake var vi blitt oppgradert fra vanlig dobbeltrom til suite. Vi hadde et fantastisk opphold, god mat og hyggelig betjening. Frokosten var fortreffelig med en variert buffet, samt diverse varmretter man kunne bestille. Absolutt et hotell å anbefale

Reviewed by N of Vestfold. on May 3, 2009

Meget imponert over dette hotellet. Lite men med gode fasiliteter, badstue, boblebad. Ligger i traffikert område og har naturlig nok trafikkstøy ifm dette. Restauranten kan også anbefales, sammen med omliggende restauranter ved hotellet. Gjester får 10% avslag i hotellets restaurant. Frokosten ved hotellet utvilsomt den beste jeg har sett. Meget god og vennlig service. Hotellet skaffer transport og billetter til de utflukter som ønskes. Meget godt fornøyd med oppholdet her.

Reviewed by P of Marseille on Nov 16, 2008

Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la situation de l' hotel Rubinstein au coeur de "Kazimir" ou se passe toute l'animation et la vie nocturne "branchée" de Cracovie.... Le restaurant est peut etre un des meilleurs de la ville ( cuisine fusion)...et néanmoins l'hotel est à l'abri de toute nuisance sonore...
