Hotel Kazimierz

From the outset, the three-star Hotel Kazimierz, with its dark wood-and-marble reception and stained-glass street-facing window, suggests just a touch of glamour. Located—not surprisingly!—in the Jewish neighborhood of Kazimierz, the hotel caters primarily to Jewish tourists.

Guest rooms here are basically run-of-the-mill, with a number of dainty touches that veer into fussy aunt territory, such as lacy curtains and a pink-orange color palette. Bed units with attached nightstands depart from this dainty motif. They're more contemporary, even vaguely minimalist, in cherry wood. All rooms are equipped with television, free wired Internet and telephone. Bathrooms are tiled in yellows and oranges, with precisely arranged toiletries.

Breakfast is included. Air conditioning addicts should note that it is a feature of some rooms but not all.
