Great location.
Room was spacious, bed was comfortable but the pillows were way too soft and went flat immediately. Breakfast was fine, decent selection. Front facing rooms hear the trams and they can be loud. Great location for the old time, train station and large shopping mall, all easy walking.

Superb hotel, fantastic staff and perfect location
I am blown away by this amazing hotel - the location, rooms, staff! I am surprised this is rated as a 3 star hotel - it has all the beautiful qualities of a superior hotel.
We had to leave at 4 am and restaurants staff allowed us to pack our own breakfast to go and it meant the world. Not only that, they also offered juice and water as we were leaving (as part of our breakfast to go). I really appreciate your kindness and helpfulness and can’t wait to be back!

Even better the second time
This was our second stay at Hotel Polonia and it was even more wonderful than our previous visit two years ago.
Service is courteous and polite. All of our questions were answered cheerfully and accurately.
Location cannot be beat. If traveling by train, Krakow Główny station is a short walk.
Public transportation is right outside the door to take you to the area of Schindler's factory, the botanic gardens and Jewish quarter. Old Town is a quick walk across the park.
Breakfast is exceptional. Hot and cold foods, pastries etc.
In my opinion, staying in a hotel that is over 100 years old, has the charm of times gone by speaks for itself.
Our room was extra special it was noted and very much appreciated. When in Krakow, we will stay at Hotel Polonia again.
