Ulemper: -

Fordele: architecture - design of the hotel, great breakfast, underground parking, central location

Ulemper: remote control for the TV did not work

Fordele: The restaurant is great. We had dinner and it was besutufukly cooked and presented. Although it is a walk or tram ride from the centre the hotel is well situated and an interesting building

Ulemper: For the size of the hotel the rooms were a little cramped. The entry hall is a bit like an airport it's huge and the bar is rather lost in it.

Fordele: Arty design....lovely studio like apartment room, a minutes walk from the open square shopping centre....which has some good restaurants...really enjoyed the Israeli restaurant....great pubs and an ...

Fordele: perfect as always)

Fordele: Anbefalelsesværdigt: værelset, niveauet, personalet, maden, området. Meget specielt.

Fordele: The space was a great mix of old architecture and modern style. The rooms were very comfortable and you could walk to different restaurants within a few minutes... great shopping and not far from the old town. Staff was incredibly friendly. Great bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs:)

Ulemper: The rooms were very nice and clean. That said, there was much space wasted for common areas that may have been incorporated into the personal space.

Fordele: The bell captain, older fellow named Jerzy, was extremely attentive, kind and helpful.

Ulemper: 40 PLN overnight parking fee for hotel guests, no other hotel in Lodz charges parking. The girls at the front desk were kind of snooty and smile-less, felt like I was in Russia.

Fordele: Location. Size and equipment of room

Fordele: Location, size, value for money
