Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite lovely. The rooms, although a bit dated and with dirty wall-to-wall carpets, were comfortable and nice in their simplicity. The service, from the welcoming greetings to the professional demeanor, was top-notch. The location, just a 2-minute walk from the main Old Town square, was prime, making it ideal for exploring the vibrant area. However, the noise from the surroundings was a bit bothersome at night. The dining experience, while offering a good variety, had some inconsistency with the temperature of the food. Overall, a nice stay with some mixed aspects.
The hotel's location is excellent, just a minute's walk from the main square, but some rooms may get noisy due to nearby nightlife venues. The service is generally attentive and friendly, although there was one disappointing incident with housekeeping. The dining options are delicious but slightly pricey. Overall, a decent stay for the value.
The hotel is situated in a vibrant area, but some noise from a nearby pub might disturb light sleepers. The rooms are large and comfortable, though the street proximity can be an issue in terms of noise. The service is mostly exceptional, with a hiccup in housekeeping timing. The location is superb, perfect for exploring the city easily. The dining options may not suit all tastes, but there are alternatives nearby.
The hotel's location near the Old Town square is fabulous, and the staff are polite and helpful. However, the rooms appear dated and could benefit from improvements. The dining options are varied and delicious, adding to the overall experience.
The hotel has a nice traditional, elegant style. The rooms are spacious, but it's better to get a room away from noisy areas like the pub and nightclub nearby. The service is fantastic, especially for arranging visits to places like Auschwitz and transport to the airport.
