John, I understand that there are laundromats as I checked on this a few trips ago. Depending on the hotel, I am sure most will have laundry services available. Labor is cheap in Poland and unless you're staying in a 5 star hotel, I would suggest using the hotel to do your laundry. Do you know which hotels you'll be staying in? It wouldn't hurt to send them each an email (in Polish) to ask if they do laundry. Debbie John T Mielnik wrote: > Debbie, > Thanks, it was a good general informational article.

Debbie, Was thinking of staying at the "Hotel Classic" , ul. Sw. Tomasza 32, allowing for an easy walk to the Rynek Glowny (Main Market Square,) and all of its attractions.

John, This is a small hotel. If I were you I would email them and ask about laundry services. From April 1 to Oct 31, 2011 the cost of a room for two people at the Hotel Classic is about $149.00 per night (based on current exchange rates) which includes breakfast and taxes. Note that this hotel quotes their rates in Euros. Depending on how long you stay and the days of the week, you might be able to get a discount. http://www.hotel-classic.pl/hotel,pl If you are staying 3-4 weeks in one place you might consider renting an apartment. It would be a lot cheaper. Unless you have restrictions as to how close you want to be to certain areas of Krakow I have a suggestion for a Pensjonat in Krakow. It is located across the Wisl~a River from the Castle. U Pana Cogito: http://www.pcogito.pl/index.htm They don't have their 2011 prices posted yet but I'm sure they'll give you a quote via email. This hotel quotes their rates in zl~oty (PLN) on their web site. We've stayed here about 3 times, the most recent being last July and were pleased to see they installed air conditioning in their rooms! We paid about 280 zl/$87 per night including breakfast and parking. Oh, U Pana cogita does laundry. Debbie John T Mielnik wrote: > Debbie, > Was thinking of staying at the "Hotel Classic" , ul. Sw.
