The hotel had a window I could open, which I like, but it was too hot, leading to dehydration. The room looked a bit tired, reminiscent of the early '90s with dirty walls, although the bathroom was very modern.

The location was convenient for exploring the city and visiting nearby attractions, although directions could be clearer at times. The dining experience was good but could use some improvement for the price. Overall, a great value for money hotel with a few minor issues.

The hotel is conveniently located in the middle of Katowice, just a short walk to the Rynek and opposite to Muzeum Śląskie. The rooms had a bit of an outdated feel, nothing extraordinary, but they were decently set up. The service was a mix of really friendly staff overall, although there was an incident when we were mistakenly referred to as 'special needs people. ' The dining experience offered a good selection, but some items like the eggs could be improved. The location was good, not far from the city center and public transport. It can get a bit hot during the day, especially upon arrival.
