“Hotel Polonia impresses with its location; a brief walk puts you squarely in Krakow's Old Town, near the train station and numerous tram lines. I particularly appreciate the blend of historic architecture with modern comforts, not something easily found these days, plus the restaurant serves very good, authentic Polish meals. Its family-friendly atmosphere makes it a practical choice.”

convenient accessstreet noiseold windows

The location allowed convenient access to transportation options. The main station was close by.

Street noise was a significant problem. Trams operated from early morning until late at night. This made sleep difficult even on an upper floor. The noise from the trams was unreal because of old windows.

great breakfastfantastic locationloud tramterrible pillows

The breakfast had so many choices. Everyone found something great to eat. the location is fantastic, just across from the train station and a shopping mall. i found it super convenient for public transport. the staff were friendly and helpful too!

My room faced the street, and it was loud with the trams. the pillows were terrible. I had a sleepless night and a headache. the air conditioner was old and noisy.
