“Real Old World Charm”

I read some reviews after I had already booked (and paid for) this hotel, and wondered if I had made a big mistake. But I hadn't.

I read some reviews after I had already booked (and paid for) this hotel, and wondered if I had made a big mistake. But I hadn't. If you arrived at this hotel on a dark winter's night, you might imagine you were in a horror film. It is a classic old building in a (small) forest - but only 20-25 mins walk from the old town in Jelenia Gora. Quiet, authentic, friendly, comfortable. Don't expect all the trimmings of a modern, state of the art hotel, but instead you get a lot of charm. Everything works, the bathrooms are modern, the rooms are furnished from a bygone age (read nice). When we were there, the dining room was often only partially full at dinner time, the food was varied and really nice (perhaps a little overcooked but that is subjective). The wine was very reasonably priced. The staff all had enough english (great german) for us to get by - and they coped excellently with the requirement for gluten free food for my wife. Breakfast was varied by continental standards, buffet style, and lots of choices - and always some cake available. We didn't use the spa facilities, I think the staff needed about an hours notice if you wanted one of the rooms opened, but we did use the pool table, well kept, cues in great condition, no charge for the facility, and the barman was happy to bring our drinks to the table and leave us there as late as we wanted. However, don't stay here if you want something lively, or if you need lots of people around you in order to feel comfortable. Stay here if you want relaxing and are comfortable with your own company - it's a great place. Oh, and everything closes down in the hotel about 10.00pm (even the bar) - but you're only a short walk (or cheap taxi ride) from the old town where you'll find some action. However the locals have very little english (even in the tourist office), but we found them to be very friendly. I saw in some other reviews that some rooms did not have showers in the bathroom - our party had the use of three rooms over a few days, and all had great showers in them - so it might be worth asking at reception or including the request when booking
