Karmel is one of the most gorgeous small hotels in Krakow. Located up a stairway in an impossibly cute corner of Kazimierz, the 10-room Karmel is a Krakow favorite.
From the meticulously well-maintained façade to the neatly appointed rooms, there's much to appreciate here. While Karmel is not a luxury property, there's a plain elegance throughout, best exemplified by the high-ceilinged reception area.
What precisely renders Karmel's rooms a cut above many other tourist-class rooms in Krakow? Despite run-of-the-mill faux-antique furnishings—cherry wood desks and armoires and upholstered chairs—Karmel manages to insert enough unexpected twists to save rooms from total anonymity. Where you might expect an Ethan Allen aesthetic, spunky touches like grass-green curtains and bedspreads, bedside benches, and appealing ash blond floors tweak the design palette.

About the Karmel Hotel 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.
