Hotel Klezmer-Hois

Hotel Klezmer-Hois is a three-star hotel at ul. Szeroka 6 on Szeroka square, the central square of Kazimierz, the historic former Jewish quarter of Kraków in Lesser Poland. The hotel is best known for its restaurant, which presents live klezmer music in the evenings and is one of the best-known venues of its kind in the district. The surroundings are rich in heritage: the Remuh Synagogue and its cemetery, the Old Synagogue and several other prayer houses are within a few minutes' walk, and the Vistula riverbank and Podgórze, including Schindler's Factory, are a short distance to the south. The Main Market Square and the Old Town are roughly 15 to 20 minutes away on foot, and Wawel Hill is about the same distance to the west. The building reflects the traditional architecture of Kazimierz, and the interior is themed around the Jewish culture of the quarter, which suits visitors interested in the history of the district. Rooms are offered as Standard Double and Twin categories. Listed amenities include Wi-Fi, a 24-hour front desk and a restaurant with live music. The restaurant serves breakfast and meals, and its evening performances of klezmer music are a main attraction for guests and visitors alike, so the atmosphere downstairs can be lively. The service character is that of a mid-range, themed hotel catering to leisure travellers, couples and cultural tourists, with front desk staff able to arrange tours, transfers and restaurant reservations. Rates generally fall between about 350 and 800 PLN per night depending on season and room type. Because live music runs in the evening and the square hosts restaurants with outdoor seating in summer, light sleepers may want to ask for a room away from the restaurant and the square. Tram stops on the nearby ring road connect to the railway station and other parts of the city, and taxis can usually reach the surrounding streets. Booking ahead is advisable around the Jewish Culture Festival, summer weekends and the Christmas period.
