My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The room was spacious, with a comfy bed, a lovely tea & coffee set, and even a tablet for the kids - everything was restocked daily. The fantastic view of the castle and river from my 4th-floor room facing the castle made the experience truly memorable. The location is amazing, being right across the street from everything you could want to see in the city.

The hotel has stunning views of the castle, offers clean and well-equipped rooms with fantastic views, and the service is top-notch. However, the dining experience could be improved with more variety in the breakfast options.

I stayed in suite 507 with fantastic views of the castle. The room had two single beds pushed together, but it would have been nicer to have a double. It was equipped with everything down to a needle and thread.

The dining experience was fresh and tasty, but I found the bacon disappointing. The breakfast could have been improved with more variety like beans or hot tomatoes and a better choice of eggs.

The hotel rooms are lovely, very clean, and comfy. While the bar area felt a bit like a doctor's waiting room, the friendly and helpful staff made our stay enjoyable. The location with a castle view and overlooking the Vistula river was a definite plus, but the warm beer and awful wine gave us a less than ideal experience.

The location is great for adventurous exploration, walking to various attractions like the castle and Schindler's factory. It's a good compromise between the Congress Centre IEC and the old town center, though not very silent.
