What guests report

View

3rd-floor pool has exceptional city views overlooking Pabianice; rooftop terrace with lounge chairs offers panoramic vistas; rooms on higher floors with windows to park have pleasant outlooks; street-facing lower-floor rooms experience traffic noise and street light glare

Bed & mattress

Comfortable modern mattresses in most rooms; some guests praise beds as very comfortable while others note occasional softness issues; beds described as well-made with quality linens, though a few complaints of thin interconnected twin beds not providing good seal

Bathroom & water

Spacious bathrooms with large walk-in showers; hot water reliable; water pressure generally adequate; frequent complaints about limescale buildup on glass shower doors and grout cleanliness issues; quality toiletries (Bioliq brand) provided

Wi-Fi

Fast and reliable wifi throughout hotel; no complaints about connectivity or speed mentioned in reviews

Breakfast

Exceptional buffet consistently rated 4.5-5 stars; abundant fresh options, excellent quality meats and cheeses, extensive pastries, fresh-squeezed juices, good coffee; worth the investment though some note limited variety for those with dietary restrictions (vegan options limited)

AC / heating

Climate control works but with noted issues: some rooms have unreliable or faulty AC units; card-activated AC that shuts off when key is removed creates temperature control problems; upper-floor rooms near ventilation suffer from loud mechanical noise from HVAC systems; older units may struggle with heating/cooling efficiency

Elevator

Available

Local knowledge

Request a room away from the pool area (floors 1-2 above the swimming pool are noisiest) and avoid rooms on upper floors near ventilation units; ask specifically for quieter wings during booking

Room 307 and other 3rd-floor pool-adjacent rooms have documented ventilation noise issues; explicitly request a ground or 1st-floor room if sleep is critical

Check the hotel calendar before booking if you dislike crowds; weekends and weekdays with corporate events can mean late-night loud events in connected dining/event spaces
