We're going to Krakow in late May, I think from one of your earlier posts I saw that you were going in summer.<BR><BR>I debated for awhile over hotels but decided to reserve a flat, a little to the north of the center of Krakow, for about $55 US per night. I obviously won't know how it is until I get there so I don't want to post the name yet but the owner seems quite nice and has been very helpful.<BR><BR>If you want the name, you can email me or I can post after I return.<BR><BR>[email protected]

Thanks Kristi, but we have made reservations at the Hotel Jan. It's in the old city center, has nice rooms and from what I hear, a very freindly staff. We like places with a little character, which us what drew us to the Wawel, but, after reading a review by young Polish lady, it might be a bit over the top. Thanks again.

I saw good reviews posted about the Hotel Jan on the website www.hotelspoland.com and it looks like it's in a good location.<BR><BR>Sounds like you are planning an interesting trip!

Kristi: We are trying, but first-hand information about areas outside of Warsaw, Krakow, Zakopane, Gdansk and, maybe, Torun and Poznan is difficult to get. I have had a post about some of these remote areas in place for some time. Not much response. There are a couple of people, Peter in particular, who have been helpful. Have a great trip and write a report when you return.

I had the same problem last year when trying to plan a Turkey trip. If you haven't already, check out ThornTree on Lonely Planet's site and Virtual Tourist as the posters there seem to travel more to Eastern Europe. I got a couple of excellent tips from folks on those boards.<BR><BR>I'll be sure to post when I return but alas I am only visiting Krakow, Warsaw and maybe a couple of day trips from Krakow (salt mines, Auschwitz and maybe Zakopane).<BR><BR>If there's anything in particular you'd like to know about either, let me know and I'll try to check it out for you.
