What guests report

View

East-facing rooms overlook train tracks and railway; west-facing and higher floors overlook Galeria mall and city with quieter views; corner rooms offer mixed sight lines.

Bed & mattress

Large, comfortable, high-quality mattresses with memory foam and premium pillows; consistently praised as exceptionally comfy with excellent sleep quality.

Bathroom & water

Modern walk-in rainfall showers with excellent water pressure and hot water; heated bathroom floors; spacious in most rooms; some lack shower screens causing water splash; attic rooms have sloped ceilings preventing standing showers.

Wi-Fi

Seamless internet access and reliable WiFi throughout hotel; hotel password has humorous reference (praised by guests for personality).

Breakfast

Extensive buffet with cold selections (cheeses, cured meats, fish, breads, pastries, fruit), hot items (eggs, sausages, sometimes pancakes), beverages; gluten-free options available; replenished regularly but runs out by late morning; worth the extra cost but Polish-focused, not ideal for English breakfast seekers.

AC / heating

Excellent air conditioning and heating; works immediately and silently; some rooms have unreliable thermostats that cycle between heating and cooling at set temperature instead of maintaining it; can be overridden with manual control.

Elevator

Available

Local knowledge

Request a room on the west or upper floors to avoid train noise; railway runs on the east side of the building.

Ask reception to open the rear gate for parking lot access if you prefer not to enter through the main front entrance.

Attic rooms on the 4th floor have sloped ceilings with bathtubs positioned under the roof—difficult to shower standing; request ground/lower floor if you need a full-height shower.
