The 3-star, centrally located polonia hotel has been welcoming guests ever since its original opening in 1917. Overlooking the historic city walls and old town, the hotel is also just 3 minutes' walk from the railway station and its direct tram link to krakow's balice airport. Offering over 50 rooms, the polonia's accommodation is traditionally styled and bedrooms all include private facilities, direct dial telephone, radio, satellite tv and hairdryer as standard. The hotel's entrance and public areas feature grandoise styling and decor harking back to an era of charm and elegance. The bar and restaurant (which also doubles as the breakfast room) are open daily and warmly welcome all guests in search of either liquid refreshment or something a litle more substantial. Overall, the combination of location, standard and rates, make the polonia a real value-for-money choice of hotel when visiting this beautiful city of krakow, often refered to as the Florence of the north.
