What guests report

View

Rooms facing Pijarska street and city walls have best views; rooms overlooking hotel courtyard/alley have poor views; some rooms lack windows that open

Bed & mattress

Mattresses and beds highly praised as comfortable and well-made by most; some older rooms have audible springs and worn mattresses

Bathroom & water

Large, stylish bathrooms in suites; hot water generally reliable; shower pressure varies; small shelf space; some fixtures old and cracked; no bidets in some rooms

Wi-Fi

Fast and easy to connect; reliably mentioned as good

Breakfast

Exceptional quality with à la carte and buffet; worth trying at least once; some criticize ingredient quality or limited selections on certain days

AC / heating

No air conditioning—only fans provided; major complaint for summer stays; heating works adequately

Elevator

Available

Local knowledge

Request a room on the top floor facing Pijarska street for beautiful city views and reduced noise from ground-level traffic

Breakfast is worth trying at least once—order eggs Benedict or eggs on toast from the menu, as the buffet alone doesn't showcase the quality

Ask at reception for Mikołaj, Kamil, Konrad, or Wiktoria if you need exceptional service—these staff members repeatedly go above and beyond

Belle Époque 1920s French architecture with ornate stairs resembling Titanic staircase
Historic building from 1912-1915 with authentic vintage furniture and period details preserved
Old-world elegant interiors with classical charm, though some rooms show dated furnishings inconsistent with design narrative

Described as 'fitness room' but more of a token facility than functional gym
