The hotel rooms were big and nice, though they were not made up during my stay without prior notice. The service was mixed with friendly and helpful staff but not consistently so. The location was perfect, close to restaurants and the city center, despite some noise issues. The dining experience was good with a European/Mediterranean style breakfast. The facilities were adequate overall.

The hotel had a lovely receptionist who offered an alternative room overlooking the river when I complained about the old room with a thin mattress and twin bed instead of the double kingsize bed I requested. The location is a real plus, being close to restaurants and the city center, although a bit far from the main square.

The hotel is in a central location of Gliwice with typical, simple rooms that give off a vibe from the past century. The service was friendly and accommodating, especially the girl in the bar, but not exceptional overall. The hotel's dining experience was more on the European side and above average, although breakfast options were a bit lacking. Facilities meet basic needs, and the hotel is well-maintained.

I was excited about staying at this hotel due to its great location in the center of Gliwice, close to restaurants and the city center. The rooms, however, were a bit of a letdown as they were smaller than expected for a 4-star hotel, with an old-fashioned feel and a thin mattress on the bed. The requested double kingsize bed was not available, only normal size twin beds.

The hotel offers spacious and modern rooms that are both very clean and looked modern. The suite I stayed in was really huge, featuring a bedroom, a working room, and a living room with a TV, coffee machine, and seating. However, the view from the room was onto a dark 'abyss' housing a very loud A/C system, the hotel's garbage facilities, and the staff smoking area.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were a good size and very economical, but unfortunately, mine faced the 'abyss' of the main road. The service had its ups and downs with forgotten wake-up calls and friendly staff. The location was always good in the middle of Gliwice, but some rooms faced a loud A/C system. The dining was a mix of disappointing European/Mediterranean style breakfast and nice options. Overall, a decent stay with some highs and lows.

I stayed in a hotel at the attic of the building, overlooking a noisy area with the A/C system and staff smoking. The rooms were clean and cozy, but the location wasn't the best.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms, although a bit old and had a musty smell in the bathroom, were spacious and clean. The bed wasn't as comfortable as I hoped, and the requested double bed was unavailable, but the standard twin-bed was sufficient. The service from the reception personnel was professional and friendly, and they even carried my case for me. The location, right in the center of Gliwice, was convenient for exploring the city, with easy access to restaurants and the city center. The dining experience in the hotel's basement was enjoyable, offering a good selection of dishes, though not ideal for starting the day. Despite the downsides, the hotel had its strengths with clean rooms and helpful staff.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of ups and downs. The location is fantastic, right in the center of Gliwice, making it convenient to explore the city easily. However, the rooms were quite old, with a thin mattress on a standard twin bed, and my request for a double kingsize bed was not accommodated, giving me a view of an unattractive backyard. The service, on the other hand, was top-notch, with a professional team handling any issues smoothly, including arranging a late snack. The dining experience was a pleasant surprise with European-style meals that exceeded my expectations. When it comes to facilities, there are some areas that could be improved, but overall, it was a decent stay.
