Hotel Regent

Located in the old Jewish quarter of Kazimierz, the area retains an authentic feel. This is an unassuming hotel from the outside but is pleasant on the inside, the rooms are reasonably sized and well furnished. The beds are comfy but the triangular pillow takes a bit of getting used to. The bathroom is reasonably sized with a good shower. The local area is lively and has many bars and restaurants. Sometimes you can hear party goers returning home in the early morning. Breakfast is taken in the basement and is OK. Old town 15 minutes walk, main station 25 minutes walk, airport 30 mins and about 130 zt. All in all a good value hotel in an interesting location.

The room we had was good, comfy beds but I would have like the quilt to be a bit bigger, every time I moved in the night I got a draft from the quilt not covering the bed properly. Breakfast wasn’t very good we only went down once out of our 4 night stay. The location is good and the staff were all friendly and helpful.

Lovely hotel, all the staff friendly. Rooms clean and well appointed. Breakfast amazing and lots of choices. Good location, in the Jewish quarter. Lots of bars and restaurants. Close to all the attractions, hope to return soon. Thank you.

I like to write balanced reviews and find positives but I'm struggling to find any with this hotel apart from the location which is in the heart of the Jewish district. I was hoping for an authentic stay here, I had checked the pictures etc and knew it was dated inside and had no bar. Fair enough. On arrival the very sullen person on reception allocated us a room. We checked it out and immediately went back to reception to ask to be moved, the answer was no, we are too full. The room was tiny. To the point you couldn't walk around the far side of the bed without turning sideways. No room there to get dressed, put shoes on etc. There was a dressing table with a chair. I couldn't pull the chair out far enough to sit on it and get my legs under(see pic) I'm average sized. The bathroom was ok sized but the shower was a trickle and the shower tray very spongy when stood on. It was difficult not to slip, no rubber mat to make this safer either. This all made getting ready a nightmare. Two of us a the same time was just not doable. The room window wouldn't open. It looked out onto a half wall half courtyard. The handle came off the wardrobe when we opened it. We soon fixed that but it just added to all the above disappointments. I honestly think the room wasn't a "room" initially and they have shoehorned furniture into what was maybe a store room to get an extra room. Breakfast was ok if you like sloppy scrambled eggs and chopped up bits of warm sausage. We just had some cheese on bread. There was beetroot, cucumber and tomato if you prefer a salad for breakfast. You need to put your toast in the toaster the night before if you want it done for breakfast time, it takes that long. One 4 slice toaster for the whole breakfast room. Tables were slow to be cleared. Every morning there were only a couple of clean tables to sit at. The rest were not all occupied but still had dirty plates/cups etc waiting to be cleared. Overall a really disappointing stay. On the last day we checked out early to avoid being in the room all morning and spent it at a shopping centre sat in coffee shops. Needless to say we won't be back to this one. My advice would be to book elsewhere in the Jewish district.
