One of four RT hotels in Krakow (three of which we review on EuroCheapo), RT Monopol is our favorite of the bunch. Located on busy ul. Św. Gertrudy near Market Square, the RT Monopol has 75 plain but comfortable rooms.
Bedspreads are the color of milky coffee with cinnamon; wall-to-wall carpets are a bit creamier in hue. Furniture approaches cherry-brown. Rooms tend to the capacious side. The effect is faux-antique à la Ethan Allen, disturbed only by plastic bedside lamps. Bathrooms sport neutral tiles.
Overall, if you need aesthetic excitement or adhere to a tight budget, the RT Monopol is not for you. But if a certain assurance of a midrange hotel standard amenities, service, and comfort is important to you, the RT Monopol will fit the bill.
And who can resist the stairs leading out of the lobby area in their pure late 1980s elegance? We found the chrome banisters and reproduction oriental carpets especially fetching.
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 RT Monopol 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.
