The furniture reminds me a bit of holidays in communist Poland when I was a kid, but the rooms are spacious (even the single one), comfortable and very clean. The staff are friendly, and breakfasts generous.
Upsides: central location, quiet alley (hence the name? Zaułek=Alley), free wifi (slow connection).
Downsides: price is a bit high for the general standard, restaurant closes at 10 p.m. and if you're unlucky to arrive later you can't even get hot tea or coffee.
Generally recommended for not-too-demanding travellers who value peace and simple comfort.

This hotel was a small surprise packet. While it's not modern and funky it does have a homely quality. The room we had was moderate size but had a personal 'lobby' area which we could shut off for that quite evening beverage. There are only ever a few guests staying and none of them were rowdy. My only quibble is that the staff never seemed to raise a smile. Not even once. Still, they did their best even if it was hit and miss with an English speaker / understander at the front desk.

This is a very small, university run guesthouse. I stayed 2 nights here and would highly recommend this hotel for its location and extremely friendly and kind staff. My room, a single, was large, comfortable and very clean. I can say I truly enjoyed my stay in this hotel. My only suggestion would be installing a ceiling fan in every room. The hotel does not have a/c but it is also in a location that does not have a lot of direct sunlight, so actually ceiling fans would be perfect for moving air and perhaps lowering the room temperature a couple of degrees.

Hotel Zaulek is located in a quiet street next to the University and at the edge of the old town. Very good Polish food served in the restaurant. Breakfast particularly good. All reception staff spoke English, which was a great help to me. All staff very helpful.
Many bars and and restaurants close by. Five mins walk to the main square.
Hotel Zaulek would be my choice if I return to Wroclaw.
Note: No elevator, but this was of no concern to me.
