What guests report

View

Courtyard-facing rooms are quiet and peaceful; front-facing rooms overlook tram tracks and train station

Bed & mattress

Consistently praised as very comfortable with premium linens; some reports of overly firm mattresses

Bathroom & water

Large bathrooms with good shower pressure, underfloor heating standard, heated tile floors noted as luxury feature; inconsistent hot water temperature reported

Wi-Fi

Included but not always reliable; some guests report slow speeds

Breakfast

High-quality buffet with excellent variety worth the cost; continental options, hot items, fresh fruits, barista coffee; same menu daily can become repetitive

AC / heating

Effective cooling but noisy operation; controls sometimes removed by staff; limited ability to regulate underfloor heating in bathrooms

Elevator

Available

Local knowledge

Request a room facing the courtyard to avoid tram and train noise; rooms 206, 312 mentioned as quiet

Ask reception for firmer pillows in advance; hotel has limited pillow firmness options

Train station (Gruzegórzki) is only 150m away for airport/salt mines access; tram 3 or 24 stops 1 minute away
