A stellar staff! Never have I received the caliber of friendly and welcoming service as I did upon my arrival with Małgorzata and departure with Klaudia at Hotel Stary. Malgorzata allowed my early arrival and Klaudia my late departure. Their colleagues at the spa were so supportive and friendly. I felt like a queen for my entire stay. Not bad for a woman from South Bend, IN in the USA. Thank you!!

Beautiful property. Great location, lovely rooms, able and obliging front desk. My one complaint is the rooftop bar: the service is sullen and incompetent (orders botched, indifferent wait staff). Going up there is like migrating from a fine hotel to a third-rate one.

Second time at this hotel and enjoyed it. Facilities are good and really well located for the main square. On the downside… no tea/coffee in rooms (though can get room service) and the breakfast at around £35 is extortionate - though readily available for a lot less on the square.

Quiet and clean. I wish it had a lobby though for us to sit. Be aware rooms are very dark (not a lot of lighting or natural light) I know that's the whole aesthetic but it did make it difficult to put on make up or just see clearly in the room. Everything else was perfect. Good AC, big spacious room, comfy bed.
