I find it a bit sketchy that someone from another country would leave a bad review for this hotel and then recommend another one 'just down the road' - in this case down the road means an HOUR DRIVE to ANOTHER CITY - Torun - a bit misleading don't you think - especially if you need to be in Bydgoszcz? My honest opinion is that the other hotel - Mercure - is getting random people to write reviews to solicit business to their hotel.

I found Hotel Pomorski to be clean with an excellent restaurant - the brick oven pizza was the best I had anywhere - and the owner informed me that he specifically traveled to Italy to pick out the oven. He speaks fluent ENGLISH having lived in the STATES for many years and his wife speaks fluent Italian.

Not too many places where you stay you have the ability to speak with the owner - usually some manager who has no authority to do anything.

I should also mention that the breakfast buffet was great and included in the price of the stay. Parking is secure if you driving and want to feel secure about your vehicle and its contents. Trolley takes you into the center of the City in mere minutes so no need to drive and look for an impossible parking spot.

The owner is also an avid motorcyclist and there is a beautiful restored 1940 BMW in the entrance of the hotel.
