Why we recommend it
PURO Kraków Kazimierz is a large, contemporary design hotel on Halicka Street in Kazimierz. It has 228 rooms and suites in a modern, minimalist style, and its aim is to blend contemporary design with the historic surroundings of the old Jewish quarter. For travellers who want a stylish base with good facilities at a lower price than the five-star hotels of the Old Town, it is a practical choice.
The location is a big part of the appeal. Kazimierz is Kraków's liveliest district for restaurants, cafés and bars, so evenings out are on the doorstep, and the hotel says the Old Town can be reached in about fifteen minutes. The Vistula boulevards are around five minutes away on foot. Staying here also makes early starts easy for the sights south of the centre: the synagogues and museums of Kazimierz can be visited before the day-trippers arrive, and Wawel is within walking distance. In the evening, the walk back from the Old Town through the side streets of Kazimierz is a pleasant way to end the day.
The hotel has its own restaurant, Halicka Eatery, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, so you can eat in without needing to search for a table on a busy night. Next door, MAK Bread&Coffee, a bakery café run alongside the hotel, opens daily from 8:00 to 21:00 and is a pleasant alternative for breakfast or an afternoon coffee with a pastry. There is also a spa and a gym, both open daily from 7:00 to 22:00, which is useful after a long day of walking.
Online check-in is recommended by the hotel and makes arrival quicker, which is welcome after a flight or a train journey. The style suits couples, solo travellers, digital nomads and business visitors who appreciate modern design, and it works well for groups of friends who plan to enjoy Kazimierz's nightlife. Families may prefer to check room sizes and configurations when booking.
Book through the PURO website. Because Kazimierz is popular for weekend breaks, prices and availability can change quickly on Fridays and Saturdays, so it pays to reserve early. The hotel's position means you are well placed for both the old Jewish quarter and the riverside.
