Hotel nie jest na poziomie hotelu 4 *. Brudna recepcja, balagan na pulpicie robia zle wrazenie przy wejsciu.W lazience niedorobki, w pokoju wiszace kable od telewizora, ktorego nie mozna wlaczyc. Wygodne lozko. Okropna jadalnia z brzydkimi lodowkami, sniadanie podane niechlujnie, jedzenie niesmaczne, zeschniete pomidory z mozzarella, jajecznica zimna, masla brak - jest tylko margaryna.

Hotel Ester

This is a fun place to stay in the Jewish Quarter, with many truly excellent restaurant options available, including the hotel restaurant. The room was quite clean, very quiet, and charming. The only problem was the WiFi. It was only accessible in the reception area and restaurant. I was unable to access it in my room (on the first floor). I told the staff every day I could not access it. One person said she would have the router restarted, but others would just shrug.

It is on the edge of the Jewish area.

It is a relatively small and older hotel. The room I had, 24, was large. Curious triangular 'bathtub" with shower. It was 100% silent at night, as it was on the inner side of the hotel, so no view.
