What guests report

View

Rooms at back overlook monastery gardens and castle; front rooms face busy street with tram line; deluxe/balcony rooms on upper floors offer best castle/garden views

Bed & mattress

Consistently praised as very comfortable and supportive, high-quality mattresses with soft sheets and pillows; pillow menu available at reception if needed

Bathroom & water

Spacious, well-equipped, modern showers, under-floor heating in some rooms, but occasional low water pressure during peak morning hours

Wi-Fi

Works well generally, but some reports of unstable connection with frequent drops requiring reconnection

Breakfast

Outstanding quality buffet with 40–50 items, fresh ingredients, made-to-order eggs, multiple coffee options; worth the cost if included; continental options emphasize quality over quantity

AC / heating

Unreliable; some rooms lack AC controls, AC operates on automatic settings guests cannot adjust, radiators insufficient in corner rooms; heating/cooling inconsistent

Elevator

Available

Local knowledge

Request a room at the back overlooking the garden/monastery to avoid tram and street noise; front rooms are loud especially in morning.

Breakfast opens at 7 AM; if booking early excursions (Auschwitz, salt mines), ask reception for packed breakfast the night before.

Book spa treatments (massage, sauna) in advance at reception; private sauna sessions fill quickly and are popular with guests.
