Hotel Eden is a medium-sized, 27-room hotel in Kazimierz dedicated to serving a highly observant Jewish clientele. Located in the heart of Krakow's old Jewish neighborhood on a cramped cobblestone street, Hotel Eden occupies a restored row of 15th-century buildings.
Hotel Eden's rooms are quite plain. Yellow walls, in some rooms, provide a burst of color. Bedspreads are shiny and satiny, caramel-brown furniture is standard and utilitarian, and floors have wall-to-wall carpets. Bathrooms are tiled and uneventful.
Beyond location, it's how well Hotel Eden meets the needs of its clientele—as well as some unusual features—that set the hotel apart. When we say that Hotel Eden is dedicated to serving a highly observant clientele, for example, we are not kidding. The hotel's kitchen is kosher. All meat served in Eden's restaurant is imported from kosher butchers in Vienna. Additionally, prepared meals are flown in from London.
The hotel also operates a mikvah, or traditional communal bath. Also on the spa tip, Hotel Eden also has a salt grotto on the premises. The salt in the grotto was imported from Pakistan and the Dead Sea.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the Hotel Eden neighborhood
Kazimierz, Krakow's historically Jewish neighborhood, is a quaint warren of tiny alleys and cramped streets southeast of Stare Miasto. For our purposes, we situate Kazimierz south of ul. Dietla, west of ul. Starowislna, and north and east of the winding Wisla. From the 15th Century until the Holocaust, Kazimierz was home to tens of thousands of Jews. Amazingly, several synagogues in the neighborhood survived World War II. These, along with some churches and the Old Town Hall, form the core of Kazimierz's traditional tourist draws. The neighborhood is a real treat beyond these sights, however, as it's phenomenally atmospheric, and flecked with cafes, bars, and restaurants. Stradom sits more or less in between Kazimierz and Stare Miasto. It's far more modern than the neighborhoods that border it, and consequently feels more like contemporary urban Poland than a typical tourist 'hood.
