Nice hotel, short walk from Stary Rynek. Clean rooms, LCD on the wall (didn't watch much TV though), free internet, good breakfast, bathroom with bath tub.
If I could crank up the radiator a bit more, would be better. And I could hear some
noise from the lift in the mornings. Othe than that, I really nice place.
Perfect to go around the town after you're done with business matters.

I stayed at this hotel, because it is located both close to the old town and one of the biggest shopping mall in Poznan. The hotels isn't very big, therefore you may find lots of privacy. The restaurant is open only for breakfasts, which are tasty and fresh. The hotel has a choice of tees and restaurant staff offers different kinds of coffees. Rooms are rather small, but very warm and comfortable. Free internet is available in all hotel.

My husband, myself and a colleague stayed at this hotel in November 2009 while attending a conference. It was a great choce for a number of reasons. First, it was small and friendly. The rooms were not particularly big, but they were comfortable and well-appointed. The hotel was elegantly furnished and the staff were friendly and helpful. There was a good buffet breakfast with lots of choice. Location wise, it was easy to walk to the town centre, and there was a good choice of restaurants nearby. There is a small car park adjacent to the hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Poznan.

We spent four nights in the Stare Miasto during our recent trip to Poland. We arrived at the station from the small town of Ostrzeszów a couple of hours away where our daughter's new Polish in-laws live. Poznań is a bit bigger and quite a lot more sophisticated than Ostrzeszów!

We got a taxi from the station without any trouble, very cheaply, and the staff welcomed us warmly. Our room was on the top floor, fairly small but lovely and clean and with air-conditioning which was very welcome. And water and chocolates left every day by the housekeeping staff! The breakfast buffet was wonderful, and the staff all charming and helpful, speaking quite good English. They gave us lots of information about where to find things in town. There isn't any internet access if you haven't got your laptop with you, but there's an internet café quite close by.

The central square is about a ten minute walk, and we ate there every day. We particularly enjoyed the Brovaria on the corner, and the tapas bar outside the Tourist Office (the man in there was great too.) Le Palais du Jardin on the opposite corner was fantastic food but rather more expensive - not by UK standards, though. Service in the restaurants tended to be rather slow, but as we were on holiday that didn't matter too much. Paying for things became a bit clearer when we read in the guide book that if you hand over the money and say 'thank you' they tend to think you don't want any change back! Actually this meant that sometimes they got less tip than they might have ...

We found that a little German is a great help in Poland as well as some polite tourist-type Polish - it always oils the wheels. The group of English chaps in their 30s who turned up off the plane on the Friday evening and threw their weight around in the restaurant in a rather loud way were pretty embarrassing when we had been up till then surrounded by Germans, French and Italians, as well as Poles, who behaved more discreetly and pleasantly altogether.

Try to allow three days at least to visit Poznań as there's lots to see. We enjoyed churches, museums, monuments, the Citadela park with some moving war cemeteries (there had been a Radiohead concert there too the day before we arrived), a boat trip, just walking round looking UP at the fantastic old house fronts, and people watching from dining tables in the square. Polish cuisine is copious and substantial but we were able to find enough lighter dishes not to be totally overwhelmed, and a good three-course evening meal with coffee rarely cost more than about £15 per head. The beer is good, the wine tends to be expensive. There are some good shopping streets too, except that Ryanair's luggage limits don't allow you to bring much back!

We were also taken out out of town one day by our new son-in-law's aunty to a rural museum with reconstructed old houses and windmills showing styles of living in the countryside from old times, and to Gniezno where there is much history.

The hotel was a great base; there was some noise at night from the street, but it would certainly have been worse if nearer the centre, and we always bring earplugs on holiday anyway. We would thoroughly recommend it.

We left the town by train too, and moved on to Berlin, but our local airport in the UK is East Midlands and we could have flown direct to Poznań from there, which is good to know as we might well go back one day.
