DK Eyewitness "An Art Nouveau classic in the heart of the Old Quarter. The Pollera was founded in 1834 by Kasper Poller and has welcomed guests with style and grace ever since."
Star Service "This hotel is within easy walking distance of all of Krakow's major attractions, save Auschwitz and the salt mines." Full review

Street-side rooms understandably suffer from excessive nighttime racket, which means it is best to ask for a room toward the back of the building.
Frommer's "The hardy Pollera has been handed back to its rightful owners and brought back into service. Guests are treated to comfortable if not luxurious lodgings." Full review
Lonely Planet "The Pollera is a classy place dating from 1834, containing 42 large rooms crammed with elegant furniture" Full review
