The hotel sits in the old town near the main market square. this positioning offers easy access to numerous directions for excursions, including locations like auschwitz and schindler's museum. It is convenient, indeed. the easy access to various attractions makes it ideal.

The bellhops were quite courteous and efficient. they managed parking logistics smoothly, even though it took about twenty minutes. We never really understood the parking location. the front desk was also helpful in resolving requests. We appreciated their support.
Dining
9/10
The hotel provides fresh juices during breakfast, not the boxed versions often found elsewhere. This added a nice touch. i noticed fresh pineapple available along with salmon, which i enjoyed. the pancakes with almonds and cinnamon were not overly sweet. I found them balanced.
