Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Breakfast could offer more choice — While most guests enjoy the breakfast, one reviewer felt the selection was limited and could be improved.
- Parking costs extra — The on-site parking is not free; guests pay PLN 50 per day, which adds to the total cost.
- Small property, limited scale — With only 27 rooms, the hotel may have limited availability and fewer facilities than larger chain properties.
- No major negatives reported — Most reviews are positive; any caveats are minor and based on guest preferences rather than recurring issues.
