Parking note. Problematic — Parking is mandatory paid service (50 PLN/day), underground garage has steep entrance with camera reading problems, confusing signage, and guests report being charged twice or finding unexpected fees.

What guests report

View
Large balconies/terraces with pleasant views; some rooms overlook adjacent residential buildings; rooftop terrace available but weather-dependent
Bed & mattress
Comfortable, high-quality mattresses consistently praised; standard rooms have two single beds only (not double), which is problematic for couples
Bathroom & water
Modern, well-equipped with quality fixtures (Hansgrohe, Grohe); spacious with good water pressure; lacks complimentary soap/shampoo in standard dispensers (only sample sizes)
Wi-Fi
Good/reliable connection mentioned in reviews
Breakfast
Exceptional quality with fresh, diverse, abundant offerings; made-to-order eggs; excellent coffee; ends at 10:00 AM sharp; some guests note limited vegetable selection
AC / heating
Unreliable—inadequate heating in cold weather (rooms drop to 19°C), auto-shutoff every 10 minutes to save electricity, guests must call reception to unlock heating mode
Elevator
Available

Local knowledge

Request early check-in in advance via phone at reception; daytime check-in queue often causes 1-2 hour waits due to room cleaning schedule starting at 14:00.
Book apartments (not standard rooms) for couples—standard rooms only have two single beds that don't connect, not a double bed.
Parking is 50 PLN per day, charged at both entrance barrier and separately—confirm total cost upfront to avoid surprise double charges.
