The location was particularly good, right by bars, restaurants, historic places, Auschwitz and Berkenau and a characterful and quietly buzzing Square in the Jewish quarter, with lots of restaurants and cafes nearby, and the view was lovely. The staff was very amiable and gentle.

Great value, we recommend the hotel to friends. Restauracja "trezo", where you can eat, is an easy walk to the venue. Simply a 15-minute walk to st mary's basilica, which was good. The staff was excellent❤
