I had a lovely stay, even if the noise from the street was a bit distracting at times (especially from the nearby nightlife).

The hotel has basic but functional facilities. There’s a cozy bar area to unwind, and the daily cleaning kept everything tidy. A few steps at the entrance were a bit tough with the wheelchair, but the staff were always eager to help.

I had a mixed experience at Hotel Polski Pod Bialym Orlem. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the main square, making it easy to explore Krakow. The breakfast was good with a good variety, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. However, my room needed some attention as the air conditioning wasn't working, and I was disturbed by construction noise from early morning hours. Overall, it was a decent stay, but some improvements are necessary to enhance comfort. 🌆🥐
