Review:

The Kras was an absolute perfect location! A slight delay in checking in, but there was a huge group of us from the US. Our room was on the 3rd floor, and from my window I could see the clock tower from the church. I was also overlooking the rooftops of all the old buildings surrounding us! I just adored the view! We were able to walk to the Anne Frank house. Beautiful walk, roughly 3 blocks. Souvenir shops right outside the hotel. Don't miss Madame Tousseau's Wax Museum just across the square! The red-light district is roughly right behind the hotel, and beyond of course! That area is not for the uptight or young children!! The staff at the hotel were always helpful and friendly to us Americans!
