“NIcely located”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

I was looking for an alternative hotel in Zamosc to the one I normally stay in, came across the Hotel Senator during a web search and decided to give it a go.
It’s not possible to reserve a room from their web site (not sure if it can be from booking engines) so I gave them a call to book. The receptionist spoke English, but asked for a request to be sent by e-mail (or there is a request form on the web site). I did this and the one night reservation was duly confirmed. On the morning of my booked stay, I had to change plans. I called the hotel to inform and request a change for a later day. I received confirmation that the room was now booked for three days (from original date to new date) - could be that my accent was confusing! Anyhow, I responded to the confirmation by e-mail and the situation was quickly resolved.
Roughly knowing the layout of the centre of the old town, the hotel itself was not too difficult for me to find. However, I don’t fully know the one way system they have for the roads in the centre and ended up reversing up the street to their parking area. Maybe it would be easier with GPS or a street map check first.
Walking into hotel, I found it is not brightly lit, some of the décor is dated and the carpets were threadbare in areas – not the greatest first impression. I was booked into my room quickly and efficiently and made my way there. With regards to condition, the room was pretty much the same as the rest of the hotel. The beds were a little more comfortable than they looked. I had twin singles and though they were a bit narrow, I did have a reasonable night’s sleep so no real problem. The wifi in the room was patchy (but at least free), minibar not well stocked (maybe an advantage!) but power shower in the morning was very welcome.
I had purchased the ‘businessman’s package’, which includes an evening meal. This is a voucher which gives a choice from two options; both included a soup and a main course. I will not take the package again as the meals were not to my liking. It could be worth asking for the choices before booking the offer.
Breakfast was a standard affair, no comments either way. Check out was fine.
Overall, I think I’ll either go back to my normal hotel, or try a different one next time. Apart from the dated décor (the curse of many a hotel), there’s nothing really wrong here but, for me, something is missing

“Quiet and good located”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

1 day trip to Zamosc, just to see this beautiful city with wonderful old town. Many restaurants around (as for this small city with only aroung 70 thousand inhabitants), of different type. What I like the most is the main old time square, with bit Town Hall, and galleries around the buildings.

The hotel itself is located on Solny Square, just 100m from the Main Square. Hotel is small but very well furnished. Nice rooms and bathrooms, lcd tv-set, free wi-fi internet. You can even discuss about the price (what is not common in Poland).

“Class hotel.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011

I stayed in this hotel for three months while working in Zamosc.
I found the staff very friendly and approachable, if I needed anything they did their utmost to accommodate me.
The room was large, spacious and comfortable as well as clean.
At the peak there were seven engineers (Indian, American, French, Argentinan, English) from our company staying in the hotel and not one of them ever complained.

From a business point of view this hotel was perfect, great location and easy access to the new city as well as the evening entertainment on the old square.

I highly recommend this hotel.

“Unusual-- and good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2010
1
person found this review helpful

The worst thing about this hotel was finding it. Buried in the Old Town, surrounded by one-way streets, many of which were closed by major road work. The decor in the common areas is some sort of dark rural baroque-- not bad once you adjust, and no doubt many would find it charming. The room was quite modern and spacious, though it suffered from some noise from the patio below. The breakfast was ample and of good quality; the restaurant looked to be excellent, though in the end we chose to go out for dinner. Wi-fi access was sketchy; we never got it to work properly. Once the construction is finished on the streets and small square in front of the hotel, the location will be excellent; nevertheless, it is very close to the main square and convenient for exploring. Good value overall.

“A flawed stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2010

people found this review helpful

My wife, 13 year old son and I spent a very very hot noisy evening at the Hotel Senator in July, 2010. I would exercise caution before staying here.

On the whole, the Hotel is not a bad choice for Zamosc. The "for Zamosc" being the operative qualifier. It's a bit hard to be too picky when you stay in the most expensive room in a hotel and it costs only $115 a night. However, there are a number of cautions that other travelers should consider before staying here.

We had the hotel's "suite." My first quibble is that I consider a suite an accomodation with two separate rooms, divided by a door. A large room, even one with different areas, is not a suite. Our "suite" was such a single large room. The main area -- with a couch, desk and dresser, faced the Salt Square. Around the corner from the main area was a nook with a double bed. The couch turned into a bed for our son.

The bed was reasonably comfortable. The pillows were foam (no feather option). No washcloths were on offer. The hotel also uses liquid soap dispensers for the sink and the shower (where the soap doubled as shampoo).

Our bathroom had only a shower (no tub).

Unfortunately for our comfort, our stay coincided with a hot spell in Poland, with the weather in the mid-90's. The hotel does not advertise air-conditioning, and has none. So, our only option was open windows. Open windows means street noise, and we had plenty, since most of Zamosc appeared to have been present in the main square that night and many of people had to walk by our hotel, while chatting with their companions, on their way home. Others appeared to like to gather immediately below our window, and chat loudly.

Breakfast was a fairly meager selection of cheeses, meats, watermelon, juice, coffee, scrambled eggs and sausage.

On check out, the hotel automatically used the credit card "convert to dollars" feature which uses a terrible exchange rate so that you get charged in dollars, not Zloty's. I never had had that happen before (I'd always been asked previously), and so like a zombie I signed the slip. Granted, at $115 dollars, I wasn't ripped off too badly (probably $5 or $6 dollars), but this is an offensive practice.

The staff, especially housekeeping, was friendly and welcoming. English was spoken.

The hotel does have free parking in a small lot immediately behind it.

So, if the weather is cool, you could probably have a reasonable stay at the Senator. I don't think anything in Zamosc is any better, and the town is worth a day or 1/2 day if you are in the area. But, watch for the currency theft on use of credit cards, and don't expect anything fancy, just basics.
