Nice hotel, Friendly staff, clean room, breakfast is european... Free in-room internet access which is a plus. Spa, pool and Jacuzzi. A bit dated looking but clean and secure. Stayed here during a business trip a while back.

I just returned from Katowice where I stayed overnight at the NOVOTEL. PRO: - pretty easy to find, you see it from a distance - modern, clean, comfortable - outstanding restaurant ... nouvelle cuisine style but sensible portion, innovative, appreciated the fact that the menu presented only one dish with pork ... extremely rare in Poland, a good variety of dishes with fish, chicken etc ... - good breakfast buffet - appreciated the offer of free foreign newspapers in the morning, although the number at 06:30 was quite limited - excellent offer of multilingual TV channels CON: - bed was much too soft - bathroom very small, was actually smaller than the one at the IBIS Czestochowa - staff from extremley pleasant, all smile,- young people - to pretty rude, communist style - older people - - town is really dreary, when I asked the local about worthwhile visiting sites ... the answer was very is nothing worth visiting here, with a grin ... ALL IN ALL QUITE A GOOD HOTEL, BUT NEXT TIME I WILL STAY IN KRAKOW !!!

L'hotel, con 287 stanze climatizzate (con TV satellitare e pay TV, telefono, internet e minibar), è situato nei pressi del centro cittadino. Occorre considerare che Katowice non ha un centro storico come le altre città della Polonia e che è stata scelta come tappa di avvicinamento a Cracovia. L’hotel ha in prossimità dell’ingresso un parcheggio a pagamento custodito. Struttura moderna dotata di tutti confort dalla piscina, alla sauna. Prezzi ridotti nel fine settimana: 211.23 zloty per una camera in 4 e 58 zloty per la colazione (prezzi della notte tra il 30 ed il 31 luglio 2006) Discreta la camera ed abbondante e variegata la colazione Si può cambiare valuta all’adiacente casinò con un tasso non propriamente favorevole. Nota positiva, all’ingresso ci hanno fatto trovare la versione stampata on line del quotidiano “la Repubblica”.

Stayed here for four nights in August, hotel is one of the cleanest hotels we have ever stayed in , nice swimming pool , sauna, etc, stayed here before visiting Auchwitz, 45 minutes away by taxi. evening meal slightly expensive by Polish standards, would recommend this hotel.
