Regent Hotel was clean, towels changed daily and bedding.Very good location,about 15mins from the Old Town. would certainly reccomend the Regent. The breakfast was lovely, very good choice of food

Just returned from a great mini holiday to Krakow. The Regent hotel was fantastic value and we would definitely return. It is situated in the Jewish quarter, with cafes/restaurants nearby, and a 15 min walk from the main square. The staff are very friendly, the rooms are spotless and we even got clean sheets/towels each night. The breakfasts were excellent, with hot and cold food, fruit, juices, tea/coffee on tap. The whole trip (booked on Travel Republic) was an incredible bargain

Travelled to Poland with a group of 11 ladies and stayed at the Hotel RT Regent in Krakow. Some rooms had low sloped ceilings but very good facilities, very clean & comfortable. Breakfast good variety of cereals, hot dishes and continental meats etc. Toaster technique took a while to master. Garden area being renovated so did not get a chance to rate the outside café area.
> Hotel located within easy walking of many bars and restaurants one of which was exceptionally accommodating and very reasonably priced. Starka Restaurant and Vodkas is literally 2 minutes walk from this Hotel (left out of main entrance) and we returned there most evenings. Lovely food and very welcoming atmosphere. Wonderful home made vodkas - especially the raspberry -but we tried all the flavours!! The female owner Joanna was lovely as were the waiters etc often moving other tables to fit our large party in without prior booking etc. Loved the food and the puddings and very reasonably priced.
> Jewish quarter very expensive. Be prepared to wait everywhere a very long time for drinks/food etc to arrive, even when just ordering coffee & cake but when they do arrive they are well worth it! Snacks are very reasonable (pretzels etc) from street vendors and wonderful ice creams.
> Approx 30 minutes to walk to the centre from Hotel - very good quality shoes and clothing and some bargains to be found at the shops on the way. The horse and carriages are spectacular and the market in the main square was fabulous. Lots of amber jewellery, leather goods, rugs etc bargain prices.
> Salt mine trip was fantastic and the guide managed to have an English sense of humour. Be warned that those with reduced walking ability there are still many stairs as the lifts go only so far. Lots of amazing lamps and gifts made from the salt in the gift shops. The little café by the entrance was really cheap for sausage in a bun etc. We tried to do Auschwitz and the salt mines in one day (DON’T) but would not advise this as no time for proper lunch, and exhausting day. Thank goodness for Starka restaurant & raspberry vodka that night after we got back!!!

Stayed at the Hotel RT Regent 17th-19th Nov 2010.
Great hotel, very friendly and helpful staff, clean and good choice for breakfast.
We also used the hotels recommended tour operator for our 2 trips; 1 to Auschwitz and 1 to the salt mines. We did both trips in one day and had a great experience.
We would highly recommend the Starka Restaurant which is about 4 doors down the street from the hotel - food is outstanding and of a high standard; the service very high standard. We were served by a young lady which was her first week in the job and she was very polite and courteous .
We would love to return to Poland and would not hesitate to stay in the Hotel Regent and eat in the Starka Restaurant .
Also if you would like to visit where Schindlers List was filmed, this is just behind the hotel
