Aparthotel Stare Miasto

The location was ideal. Close to square yet quiet. Walkable to several locations.

Getting there was a bit challenging. We arrived on a Sunday in September and streets were packed with pedestrians. Parking was a challenge, never found the recommended parking lot and ended up further across square away from Stare Miasto. Apartment we had, had no windows with an outdoor view, only sky light windows and atrium where other guests walked by so shades were always closed. The tv mount over bed was bad location as we hit our head several times. Only place to open luggage was on the floor. Apartment we had was located on the top floor where ceiling was very low and at an angle. If you are taller than 5’ 10” good luck. If it rains, you will hear every drop on the tin roof. This can be good or bad depending on your likings. Rain also came in through roof vent.

Staff were very friendly and the room was amazing. If you're looking for something more unique than a typical Weston hotel, I would recommend this industrial style hotel/apartments. All the facilities you really need in a room. Not that you stay in the room very much as Poland has so much to explore. The hotel/apartments are extremely close to the square, you are only a couple minutes walk from great restaurants, sights and bars.

Due to the hotel/apartment being so close to the square and where my room 407 (junior suite) was located, we could hear alot of the nightlife on the street below. More of an grumble from me being a tired pregnant woman who can't party (however , this might be useful for other people) . WiFi connection is not strong at all and I did not get very much 4G.

The property’s location was excellent, being only a couple of minutes from the main square and a leisurely 5 min walk from the castle. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room (601) was very spacious with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, living room, kitchen and another two quirky rooms in the eves. Exposed brick walls added to the charm of the room and the air conditioning was very welcome.

This was not a cheap option ( over £700 for four nights) and, although a very generously proportioned apartment, it was looking “tired” and in need of a fresh-up. The walls and doors were badly marked in places, the grout in the showers was black in places with mould and the property was in need of a deep clean. We had a good sized kitchen but lacked many utensils and we only had the bare minimum crockery, although an “Aparthotel” we would have struggled to make a cooked dinner as it lacked adequate utensils, cooking pots, pans etc. At night, there was quite a lot of street noise, especially from the pub crawl tours that were a regular occurrence and also very early morning from the street cleaners and refuse collectors. Although a good sized, wall mounted tv was provided, all programmes were in Polish making it redundant for English speaking guests.
