Günstig aber billig
Pros:

Sehr zentrale Lage, vieles zu Fuß gut erreichbar. Frühstück in Ordnung, ausreichende Auswahl.

Cons:

Betten extrem weich, Wände dünner als ein Karton. Aber das Schlimmste war der Schimmel im Badezimmer.

Overall okay - good location
Pros:

Breakfast was really good, with a good selection of food between savory and sweets. Room was cleaned and the location was super central.

Cons:

The room was small for one person, if it was two people with luggages I don’t believe they would have fitted in there. Bathroom has an odd shape and i could barely shower without hitting the walls. I know this is not their fault but unfortunately there are constructions right outside the hotel and getting to it is a bit more difficult.

Pros:

Lokalizacja świetna kilka minut spacerem do centrum. Parking hotelowy płatny nieczynny przez zamkniętą remontowaną ulicę ale obok 100 metrów dalej duży parking podziemny. Śniadania dobre, pokoje nie za duże ale to hotel Ibis. Ogólnie można być zadowolonym.
