This was our first visit to Poland, despite being seasoned European travellers. Arriving on an early evening flight meant arriving in the dark, though with some preparedness we found the Zaulek in good time (catch tram to Hala Targowa tram stop from side of train station).

The location of the Zaulek is great in a quiet location next to the University, though within easy walking distance to the Rynek (main square).

Zaulek proved to be quite expensive by English standards so expect to pay the equivalent of a night in a travelodge, albeit with an included tasty two course cooked breakfast.

Accommodation was quiet, though dated (70's chintz) and our double was in fact two singles at either end of the large room (though very possibly a communication breakdown)! There was also a significant amount of mould in the shower. To compensate, the mini-bar was incredibly cheap!

To sum, if you're looking for a couple of night's stay in a good location then I'm sure you could find worse, but if you're staying any longer you'd likely find better for the same money.
