The location was excellent, taxi took us straight to the door. Straight out in the morning and into the old city, whether left, right, or straight ahead, but the front entrance area was always quiet outside. A very quiet hotel; no rowdiness, no noise (bar some from the rear, I'll explain later) and very polite helpful staff. We very rarely met other guests apart from breakfast, which itself was of an excellent variety. The room was nice, very well equipped and decorated, aircon a must, and the bed very comfortable, and our taxi home arrived right to the minute. I would stay there again.

Only two very slight problems - and they were very slight - firstly due to the layout of the room there was nowhere to put suitcases, so they had to stay on the floor and were easy to trip on at night. We just felt that having them lying on the floor ruined the tidiness of the room! The other problem was the business to the rear of the hotel; they woke us up repeatedly throwing empty bottles into their bins or skips during the early hours, and the staff seemed to shout a lot. However, small points, and in no way spoiled our excellent stay.

Location- perfect. Czartoryski museum right next door and so many lovely places close by. And even c walkabke to train station to the airport. Large high ceilinged rooms. Clean. Comfortable bed. Clean spacious bathroom (shower curtain odd for a 5* hotel) Breakfast room welcoming.

Carpet in rooms. I understand having carpet in the hall to dampen sounds but old Polish buildings like this normally have beautiful parket flooring, which is modern now, and would probably attract new younger guests too. Windows and location of my room kept sound out but the air conditioning was loud ( like continously wind in a storm) and made getting to sleep difficult. Even when I switched it off, the sound continued. Breakfast OK and eggs great but for a country with wonderful bread, and supposedly 5* hotel it was below expectations.

We always use this hotel due to staff, comfort, cleanliness and location. Its a few minutes stroll to the main square. Very close to Maccys for a cheeky snack. The huge shopping centre...well worth a visit with its designer shops and great food hall located on the first floor are a 5 minute walk from this hotel. So its close enough to all the action, yet away from late night revellers. The breakfast is great, buffet style with hot options. The small bar is open in the evening. Drinks a reasonable price....but dont order a Hennessy XO double!! It came in at £60. My own fault for not checking prices and my lack of expertise in the Cognac section is limited! I took it to my room and enjoyed every sip with my Big Mac! If you are looking for modern, cutting edge design then not the place for you. If you want comfortable beds, big squishy pillows and dont mind the odd chap in armour gazing from you on the wall, then you will enjoy your stay.

Very central location while not noisy even on Saturday night. Walking distance to the main touristic attractions and to the train station. The breakfast is very good, fresh fruit, juice and smoothies every day, delicious variety of vegetables, eggs, cheese and pastries, great coffee, I only missed more choice of bread. The room was small but we came there only at night, it was nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. The staff was very nice and friendly. We arrived earlier than the check it time and the reception staff arranged an available room for us so we didn't need to wait. The room was properly cleaned every day.

The hotel is situated in just the best location, just round the corner from Florianski Street, main shopping street that leads to the stunning main square. It's very quaint. The rooms are large but not particularly exciting in terms of decor. Always warm and comfortable. Top floor rooms have velux windows ergo no view, I'd avoid these. The breakfast was exceptional, the restaurant looks out on to the city wall as delightful. The hotel is quite small, it's essentially a space to rest and recuperate, for which it does nicely. It can be quite expensive for what it is.

Lack of attention to decor in the rooms and lobbies. It's not particularly ambient, and lacks the things that could make it excellent.

The trip was for a special birthday for my wife, our male receptionist noticed it was my wife's birthday the next day and upgraded our room to a deluxe room without asking which was a lovely surprise and made my wife feel a bit more special on her birthday so thank you for that .Location and breakfast was excellent.

The only disappointing thing about our stay was to do with the bed, it was not a double bed, but 2 single beds put together with 2 single quilts which is not what you expect for a double room, the beds themselves were comfortable , also the fridge in the room did not work.

The staff were incredibly polite and helpful and all spoke very good English, which was a luxury and appreciated as it would be reasonable to have to google translate to polish. The room was clean, tidy and quiet at night. The location was incredible. If you leave the hotel and turn right, you have a lot of bars, shops, restaurants, cafes and attractions, you are 5 minutes walk to the main square. We needed assistance once during our stay here and the staff helped us quickly, without fuss and reassured us.

I have no dislikes about the property at all.

This lovely, characterful hotel is in the perfect location for exploring Krakow on foot. So easy to wander to the main square, to the castle, across the river to the Schindler Factory etc etc. Could not have been better! Our room and bathroom were comfortable and cosy, the communal areas of the hotel were clean and welcoming, every member of staff was lovely, and we thought the breakfast was one of the best we've had in hotels this year (and we seem to have stayed in loads!) Also, communication with the hotel was exceptional from the outset. They responded to messages almost instantly and arranged airport pick-up and two out-of-city tours efficiently and at a good price. Thank you Polski Pod. We will recommend you to everyone and will definitely stay again if we come back to Krakow.

Hotel Polski Pod Bialłm Orłem is a delightful hotel, situated in a wonderfully atmospheric part of the old town. Even though the amenities are fresh and modern, the interior decor showed its history and gave that feeling of tradition . The staff were also young and friendly, always a smile and willingness to help. Food in the restaurant was delicious and had a contemporary style. The breakfasts were WONDERFUL with a huge variety to choose from, or if you were REALLY hungry, why not try a sweet breakfast as well as a hot buffet, or even start with sparkling wine and have a three or four course breakfast. As the hotel is reasonably priced, even for its location and facilities, for me it is a "must return" - and soon!
