Best Hotels near Magiczne podwórko, Katowice

I stayed at this hotel in December and have been hesitant to submit a poor review because, like so many other people in Poland, I am sure that the good people who work there are helping with the current crisis. But I’ve decided to share anyway. I would not recommend this hotel to international business or tourist visitors. Overall, it just misses the mark for both international travelers and tourists. Its location is walking distance to the historic center but not in it. Its room rates are reasonable but the banquet rates expensive. I was responsible for a group of over 15 guests who were attending an international conference. While the staff were pleasant, we had several instances of inflexibility. We would have spent more on catering had management agreed to work with our contractor on how to apportion room and catering rates. For my own stay, the staff could not produce an invoice showing the rates paid per night. In addition, when I went to check out, I discovered that the front desk had made an error in changing my checkout date, which I had requested. The hotel had already charged me credit card – without permission -- and demanded immediate payment for my final night. The front desk clerk refused to identify a manager for me to speak with. The hotel also charged the credit card of one of my colleagues without authorization.

Questo Hotel si trova in pieno centro storico di Katowice. Struttura accogliente e funzionale con un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. La camera piccola ma pulita , un po spartana nell'arredamento . TV senza alcun canale Italiano, non c'è bollitore ne frigobar. Il letto comodo ma i cuscini a mio avviso non sono consoni poiché è come non averli .. Bagno con doccia funzionale a disposizione dispenser sapone sia in doccia che sul lavandino ,a disposizione l'asciugacapelli . La camera non viene riordinata giornalmente ,se fosse necessario il riassetto va richiesto alla reception . La colazione viene servita in una sala accanto alla reception, un buffet con qualche pietanza dolce o salata ,mancanza nella scelta e di qualità . Vero che il costo della colazione è irrisorio ( 6 euro ) ma sarebbe meglio pagare un po di più e avere maggior scelta al buffet e prodotti di qualità . Manca l'acqua a disposizione ,esiste solo un succo di arancio al distributore automatico . A disposizione in reception si possono acquistare delle bevande inclusa l'acqua . Personale alla reception gentile e professionale. La persona adetta alle colazioni poco attenta e scocciata (non risponde nemmeno al buongiorno nonostante lo abbia detto tutte le mattine in cui ho fatto colazione). In conclusione è una buona soluzione per chi cerca una struttura nel pieno centro di Katowice con un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Nonostante ciò se dovessi ritornare probabilmente a parità di prezzo proverei un'altra struttura. Camera 103 dal 28 novembre al 1 dicembre 2021

Excellent location right across the main train station. The hotel is very clean, great, friendly, professional service. Room was equipped with all needed essentials, very comfortable bed!!!! Breakfast was exceptional with lots of choices for everyone. Staff recommended very good polish restaurant located just 5 min walk from the hotel. Will stay again.

I booked this hotel mainly for convenience to get to Auschwitz for a 9.30am tour, but I also wanted to treat myself to the superior double room & the spa the evening before. Firstly, there were 2 single beds rather than a double (see photo) and they said sometimes in Poland a ”double” refers to 2 singles. It's misleading and I find it odd they're not more clear, especially as they must've had similar complaints about this before, so beware! Secondly, I went down to the spa to spend time in the sauna and jacuzzi but the area was drafty because the door to a strange patio area was open. I think this is where the outdoor pool normally is but there was nothing there but a couple of chairs and an umbrella, so this was another let down. Thirdly, and the worst thing of all, was the breakfast. Awful all round, I've only ever had as bad a breakfast once before and that was in a Travelodge. The coffee was bland, the choice of food was limited, a lot of the spread was cheaply presented and nothing like the photos, so beware. Worst of all was the fruit which was rancid, literally. See my photo, it's quite unbelievable. Also, rather disappointingly, I was looking forward to having a pint in the cellar bar but I discovered it was only open certain evenings, I was gutted, nothing seemed to be going right here. The only reason I gave this 2 star rather than 1 was because of the dinner. I had purchased it as part of a package with the room and had it in a restaurant attached to the hotel. After reading the menu for a while the waitress told me I needed another menu for the package deal so of course I was suspicious. I've taken a photo of this menu as you should be aware the choice is limited. I ordered the zur, dumplings & tiramisu. For all I know it was all defrosted but to be fair it tasted really good, so this was a saving grace. Anyway, please beware of my points, its not a great hotel but it is just a 5-10 minute taxi ride to Auschwitz (1) so it is convenient, though there will be closer smaller hotels or B&B's that are a closer walking distance I'm sure. I have been totally transparent with this review and often I wish hotels could do the same, please don't be surprised if your stay is not as good as you expected.

Everything about the hotel was great. It’s so beautifully decorated and clean. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the bathroom well quipped with toiletries and a hairdryer. Several types of lighting mean you can set it depending on your mood. The location is also great, right in the middle of a newly regenerated area with loads of bars and restaurants. Our room was facing inside a courtyard so though we had no view, we did not mind as it meant we did not hear any noise from the outside. All the staff we have spoken to were helpful and friendly. We did not have the breakfast but it did look like there was a good selection and the restaurant looked just as fancy as the rest of the hotel.

Great location. Great staff. Great breakfast, bar and restaurant. Great beer. Great room. Great city to explore and use as a base for a visit to Auschwitz. A few minor issues in room 603: the curtains didn't reach the whole way across one window, the toilet flush wasn't great and the middle panel of the shower screen was missing?! Also note: bring ear plugs if you are facing 'the party street' as it is a bit noisy on a Friday and Saturday night. (Hotel also provided some)

O hotel tem um bom serviço de recepção, no entanto o inglês não é suficiente para nos ajudar a conhecer a cidade e por exemplo a encontrar um restaurante perto. Os quartos são muito bons mas em termos de silêncio deixam muito a desejar para um hotel de 4 estrelas, passei uma noite sem dormir porque no piso onde fiquei estavam alijadas muitas pessoas que passaram a noite a fazer barulho tanto no corredor como dentro dos quartos. Reclamámos para a recepção mas não foi suficiente. O restaurante do hotel é bom, mas serviram um prato frio ao meu marido e depois demoraram imenso a trazer outro prato.

Fantastic hotel located in the very centre of the city. The rooms are large by European standards. The furnishings give the impression of being new and modern. This is because the hotel is only five years old. In a bathroom a full set of cosmetics. But not in small tubes of 20 ml, when the gel runs out. Everywhere is clean and it seems that the highest standards of hygiene are respected. A few steps to the main square, opposite the historic castle, many shops and fast food around. A 24-hour grocery shop with a huge selection at petrol station BP, only 4-5 minutes walk. The hotel is located by a river, where there are walking and relaxation areas. It is known that the atmosphere and quality is created by people. I was extremely warmly welcomed by a lady from reception. She was very friendly, offered all kinds of help and everything seemed very professional, even though I checked in after midnight. I had previously exchanged a few emails with Martyna, the front office manager, who resolved all my concerns regarding the very late check-in and selected a room that I was happy with. In addition, I was given advice on what to visit during my stay. I appreciated the sweet gift and the welcome letter. The rooms do not cost much per night, for such little money a really high quality is offered. I have been to Hiltons on 4 continents, but this Hampton is much better than many Hiltons, which is the flagship of the company.
