With its vertical ‘HOTEL’ sign and roadside location Astra could easily be a motel in Nowhere, USA. Sterile and overpriced, the weary furnishings need an immediate update. Six kilometres from town, so add taxi fares to the price.
[...]
The Poznań Campanile is everything we’ve come to expect from such a good value chain; high standard modern rooms furnished with a colourful flourish. Bathtubs, net connection and cable TV come as standard.
[...]
Dorrian catches the eye (literally) with pleasantly modern rooms, impeccable service and some shocking colours. They've got a captive audience what with the Trade Fair next door, so it comes as no shock to find the prices a little inflated.
[...]
Essentially decent apartments decorated with lurid yellow colour schemes that bring to mind a field of sick daffodils. Housed inside a modern, suburban townhouse, Feniks appears geared towards the traveller with agrophobia; all rooms have kitchens, private bathrooms and lounges furnished in a generic showroom style, meaning there's no reason to stray further than the front porch.
[...]
Absolutely typical of the mid-bracket hotels found across Poland. Pleasant rooms come decorated with blue carpets and oil paintings, while bathrooms are in the Polish hoteliers dream colour: brown.
[...]
A large, ugly block conceals dull, unimaginative accommodation. But while Gromada won’t win points for beauty it’s clean, cheap and only a kilometre from the city centre, and that's good enough for some.
[...]
From the outside this stark, sand-coloured block appears quite forbidding, and the neon hotel sign adds to an eerie look that David Lynch would love. Step through the glass doors and Henlex takes on another guise: that of a superb mid-range hotel. Completed only recently rooms are furnished with soft colours and modern finishes - with corner bathtubs in the suites. Finnish sauna also onsite.
[...]
Excellent hotel with an absurd position atop of a shopping mall. Bright, modern rooms and a crimson restaurant in which to enjoy breakfast. Trams N°6 & 13 stop right on the doorstep.
[...]
A lovely little deal that almost fools guests into thinking they’ve stepped into a fairytale forest. Everything from the twisty wrought iron banisters to weird mottled wallpaper alludes to the outdoors, and never more so than inside the Narnia style restaurant. While they’ve been designed to look olde world the rooms are positively 21st century, and complete with flatscreen TVs and those trendy standalone sinks.
[...]
A fabulous newbie set behind a historic looking façade. This could be one of the fairest deals in the city, with rooms boasting a traditional style consisting of artwork and classic wood fixtures – if that’s not enough, then they’ll even scatter the bed with rose petals and f
[...]
If anything goes wrong, the staff get 15 minutes to fix it - otherwise you stay for free. It’s almost tempting to sabotage the plumbing, but why would you want to. Ibis offers smashing value in clean, generic rooms.
[...]
Located on the edge of Old Town and about a ten-minute drive from the train station, Ikar is modest but pleasant, with a lot of polished stone and wood, rattan furniture and Art Nouveau-style light fixtures. One of the nine floors was recently renovated, and all rooms have satellite TV, a phone, a fridge and a bathroom with a shower.
[...]
Eight kilometres from the centre, so probably not the best choice if you want the old town on your doorstep. On the plus side here’s a hotel that matches up well in every other department, with features including super modern rooms and that great rarity – free wifi.
[...]
Still a building site when we popped by, but even so the sneak preview Team Pocket was afforded left quite some impact. If you’re bored of chain brands and their flatline character then book a room here, a petite venue which promises to give the Poznań hotel scene a kick in the botto
[...]
A charismatic hotel with the appeal of a private villa. The picturesque location on the fringes of a forest is complimented by warm earth tones in the rooms and all expected 21st century trimmings: cable TV, air conditioning, etc.
[...]
Outstanding accommodation inside an atmospheric timber lodge. Rooms, named after the seasons, feature hand-carved furniture, fresh flowers and paintings of peasant life. The 'May' apartment comes with a circular Roman bath, perfect for savouring the good life. Downstairs the restaurant serves big portions of hunter-ish dishes like duck, boar and ribs.
[...]
This ugly concrete block serves as a marvellous blast-to-the-past, with musty furnishings straight from the Cold War era. Basic, dated and gloomy, though the relative proximity to the Trade Fair keeps it ticking over with a stream of bewildered looking business travellers.
[...]
Brownish rooms in an enormous block on the northern edges of the centre. While the unimaginative accommodation does little to feed the creative spirit, all rooms have telephone, satellite TV and dataports. There's a surprisingly good gift shop on the ground floor, and it's by no means the horror story the exterior may suggest.
[...]
A high standard, hi-tech affair featuring pleasant cream colour schemes and that great rarity in Poznań – a top-notch hotel swimming pool. And there's no problem if you left that laptop in the strip club; each room comes equipped with its own PC.
[...]
Squirreled away just beyond Old Town Square Solei present compact rooms decorated with floral patterns, IKEA water colours and wood furniture. It's on a quiet street, but close to all the action, though prices sky-rocket during trade fairs. A sister hotel, Rezydencja Solei (ul. Wałecka 2, tel. 061 847 58 38) offers much the same though is usually fully booked with groups using the conference facilities.
[...]
Right in the city centre, so do ask for a room facing away from the street if you don’t wish to be woken by a dawn chorus of trams and refuse trucks. A decent three star standard with rooms pleasantly decorated in neutral looking brownish colours.
[...]
Situated at the end of a dead-end street, and with a tram stop and taxi rank just around the corner, T&T has spacious rooms that keep the business traveller in mind. Intriguingly, not even the staff know what T&T stands for.
[...]
Wooden beams, patterned rugs and sturdy wooden furniture create a rural ambience in this recently renovated farm-style annex. For summer the garden boasts a huge open-air barbecue, and a collection of wood carved animals to trip over.
