Krakow Airport (KRK) → Hotel Pollera transfer
Private transfer from Krakow Airport to Hotel Pollera - the oldest hotel in Krakow. Fixed fare, flight tracking, 60 minutes of waiting and zone A drop-off coordination.
Hotel Pollera on Szpitalna 30 is a three-star historic property - the oldest hotel in Krakow, opened in 1834, located opposite the Slowacki Theatre, a two-minute walk from the Florian Gate and four minutes from the Main Market Square.
The property offers 42 rooms in an authentic 19th-century townhouse, with preserved Stanislaw Wyspianski stained glass in the staircase and Art Nouveau details throughout. The transfer from Krakow Airport usually takes 25-45 minutes over about 13 km. The standard route uses the A4 motorway, then Slowackiego Avenue to the Old Town zone A with the car stopping at the nearest service entry.
After landing, your chauffeur meets you inside arrivals with a name board, assists with the luggage and walks you to the car. Szpitalna sits inside the Old Town zone A - drop-off at the hotel requires coordination with reception (temporary permit) or a stop on Basztowa Street with a short walk.
Operationally this address requires more planning than hotels outside the zone but offers the advantage of ending the transfer a few steps from the Art Nouveau stained glass and authentic interiors of the oldest Krakow hotel.
