Hotels near Galeria Wici, Lodz

We stayed here for one night at the weekend, the room was nice and clean, liked the decor, the bathroom towels were falling apart though! The lady on reception was nice however we went to the restaurant to get a table for two and the guy who worked in the restaurant was extremely rude for no reason at all. The restaurant was full apparently after being told to go down and get dinner, so we asked where else locally we could go, he said he didn’t know… ‘I don’t know’ offered nothing else… I asked the two women working with him (who were not busy at this moment) then said they didn’t know. Rude and unhelpful and very awkward! We left and the receptionist called us a taxi and we went to an amazing restaurant called Brednia about 5 minutes away. Food and drinks there and service wonderful! Came back to our room (17) Couldn’t get to sleep as there were really loud groups in the lobby which was next to our room. A call to reception didn’t help and the noise carried on. I wouldn’t stay here again or recommend sadly.

The hotel is centrally located and very convenient. It is also next to a large park for walks or runs. The rooms are comfortable and have good amenities ... nothing was missing from my point of view (even had an iron which is not as common in Poland). For me, it was on top of a tram stop and it was easy to get to my client every day. Breakfast starts at 7 am and this was perfect. There is a great choice of hot and cold food and great breads. Easy walk to ”Centrum” and not hard to get to and from the airport.

Location: at the bottom of the main street (itself about a mile long), located next to numerous attractions and many tram routes (Piotrkowska station), 20-30 minutes walk from the main Fabryczna station or a 3 zloty 10 minute trip on tram 18B (every 15 minutes). Couldn't ask for a better location. Check-in: very quick, room keys were already prepared. I do not do on-line check in with Accor as it usually screws up any ALL bonus point offers. This Ibis has retained a proper reception desk which is a much better and quicker level of service as staff have everything they need to hand, rather than roaming around with a tablet. Room: Typical Ibis colours and furnishings, if you've stayed in one Ibis you've stayed in them all! Only thing I would change is getting rid of the waterproof lining on top of the comforter on the bed. By the third night that was getting a little annoying. Design: the hotel is a huge atrium, and on three sides it only has rooms facing out, and the fourth side it also has rooms facing inwards too. I don't think I'd like to stay in these, However as a design I really liked it. Breakfast: another plus, decent selection of hot and cold breakfast items. Really tasty mixed fruit salad is particularly memorable. Staff worked very hard clearing tables and refilling all the food items. They couldn't have worked any harder or faster. Only had one quick drink in the bar so can't comment much. I think the restaurant was closed as they were advertising to use the Novotel next door. So, location, design, price, and yes ALL status recognition, this maybe my favourite Ibis hotel....

Beside the good size and modern rooms, but with very bad pillows and sheets, this hotel has little to offer, even as an holiday inn (they are a franchisee that use the brand to attract customers, but do little to recognise brand status). Location at the southern end of the city requires that you walk 1 km to the nearest restaurant and bar, the reception service is soviet style, dry and totally unfriendly. The reception area is as welcoming as a hospital reception, the staff unskilled and definitely not passionate to work there. The venue offers almost no facilities for a new hotel, the gym is miniature in the basement, no pool like at Vienna House and the hotel looked like a ghost ship during my 3 days stay, no customer around. A very weird experience, and definitely not a good Holiday inn. There are much better options in town with much better and friendlier service, i was fooled by the reviews, its a cold and unpersonnal post Communist venue. If only they would treat Diamond status with top service Never going back there (i am in Lodz every quarter)

If anyone needs a hotel in the cheapest way, close to the center, such really only for sleep – this hotel is very ok. I had a small but very clean and well presenting one. The bathroom is very ok. The service is nice. On the ground floor, the distributor with water and coffee for free for guests.

The hotel in genaral is pretty good, facilities on highest standard but... The air conditioning in rooms does not change a thing - it was extremly hot in the rooms - not only in ours (our friends on different floor on different side of the hotel had the same problem). Staff on the reception and room service were very polite but those and the restaurants were somewhow inpolite and unprofessional. Waiter in the ”fancy” restaurant treated us like a guests of second category - he had problem with everything and we had to wait extremely long for our dishes. Waitress in the main restaurant tried to take our plates while we were eating (asking if we already finished). This is pretty strange when you look at prices - it was very expensive as for such meals. The pool and the spa were great and especially the life guard who was extremely helpful (very nice older man).
