EuroCheapo review print this page

Hotel Pollera has a deep, turbulent history that mirrors Poland's own difficult past. Occupied by Nazi as well as Russian forces, the building housing the Pollera was nationalized under state socialism before reverting to original ownership after the fall of the Soviet alliance.

In a city with tons of new (albeit wonderful) hotels, it's refreshing to encounter a hotel with a grand history and appearance. Pollera's exquisite reception area is an art nouveau masterpiece. The stained-glass windows and stairway are meticulously detailed.

Rooms, as is so often the case, do not live up to the grandeur of the reception area, but they have their antique charms. Expect striped wallpaper and matching headboards and bedspreads. We especially like the gauzy, dainty curtains and the out-of-place 1960s modern ceiling lamps.

Pollera's location, just a few minutes from Krakow's Central Square, serves as another draw.

About the Hotel Pollera neighborhood

Stare Miasto forms the heart of Old Krakow. Encircled by a greenbelt park and bookended by Wawel (Castle) Hill at its south and the Florian Gate at its north, Krakow's Old Town is dizzyingly full of sights. At the center of Stare Miasto is Rynek Glowny, or the Main Market Square, the biggest medieval city square in all of Europe. Stare Miasto is so chock full of historically significant buildings that it feels a bit like an open-air museum. Among the many highlights: St. Andrew's Church, a Romanesque church that dates back to the 11th Century, Rynek Glowny's magnificent 16th-century Cloth Hall, and the Wawel Castle and Cathedral. There are plenty of swank cafes and folksy restaurants to provide a break from the tourist action. Many of Krakow's hotels can also be found in Stare Miasto, in particular north of Rynek Glowny.
