Eden Hotel, Krakow

Request a rear room, ideally overlooking the old Jewish cemetery, for the quietest location away from street noise and the front bar.

Avoid front-facing rooms if you are sensitive to noise from food stalls, bars, deliveries, and the lively street.

Request a lower or first- or second-floor room if stairs are difficult, since the lift may not reach every final section.
