The Mercure/Accor company has bought the Orbis hotel chain in Poland soon after the 1989 collapse. Unfortunately the only change has been a quick refurbish of the lobby, the outside sign and of the rooms, never the less the look has remained pretty much the same of the old days. Furniture and building are quite old looking although well mantained and still decent but the "feel" of the old days and the sense of "oppression" is still there. Breakfast and main meals are served in the same restaurant, food is decent. The rooms are not too spacious but roomy enough, there are also some small executive suites available. Beds are not so comfortable but still at an average level, ask for a room facing the back of the building, the front area is too noisy for the main road cars and traffic. WI FI is available free of charge in the rooms and in the lobby, a recent upgrade. Closed/guarded but open air parking lot is available in front of the hotel. A mere 300 meters away, uphill on the right there is the only concentration of restaurants of the really poor "scene" of Czestochowa. Unfortunately at present this is the best choice in Czestochowa.
