Mid-range
Campanile Wrocław Stare Miasto A-1, ul.
Jagiełły 7, tel. (+48) 71 326 78 00, www.campanile.
com.pl. Great value. Rooms are large, smart and spacious,
and come decorated in the Campanile colours of
green and yellow with chequered duvets and curtains,
and creature comforts like satellite TV and air-con. Just
north of the centre, the Old Town and Ostrów Tumski are
within easy walking distance. Q110 rooms (109 singles,
109 doubles, 1 apartment). PTHA6UGKW

Centrum Dikul A-2, ul. Cieszyńskiego 17-19, tel.
(+48) 71 796 77 66, www.dikul.pl. Occupying a
wonderfully restored Secession building opposite the
Archaeology and Military museums, this comfortable
hotel offers ample opportunities for pampering. Don’t
let the façade fool you: inside it’s all contemporary
moods, from the spacious common areas to the big
doubles and generous single rooms you’ll be happy to
return to after a hectic day. Every room - and we mean
every room - is handicap-friendly: a first for Poland, we
think. Q31 rooms (31 singles, 9 doubles). PTHA

Duet A-3, ul. Św Mikołaja 47-48, tel. (+48) 71 785
51 00, www.hotelduet.pl. For what you pay, you get a
surprising amount of space here. Really. Terrific beds (and
with the choice of twins or doubles you can be guaranteed
that your double bed is a double bed, not two singles
pushed together), great bathrooms and a location at the
edge of the Old Town. The buffet breakfast is one of the
best in the city, and when you add in the free wifi and
friendly, multi-lingual service we think you’re on to a winner.
Q39 rooms (39 singles, 39 doubles, 4 apartments).

Europejski B-5, ul. Piłsudskiego 88, tel. (+48) 71
772 10 00, www.silfor.pl. You may remember this
place as a completely mediocre hotel with everything
from carpets to curtains done up in a 1960s shade of
chocolate brown; a tasty colour for cake, rather revolting
used anywhere else. Well now the station-side monolith
has gone orange and we can tell you you’ll have had
quite enough of it as well after a three-day stay. That
said, the fittings are all new and the amenities make for
the same satisfactory stay you would have in any other
identikit three star - neither memorable nor regrettable.
Q96 rooms (17 singles, 67 doubles, 12 apartments).
PTHAR6ULGKW hhh
Europeum A-3, ul. Kazimierza Wielkiego 27a, tel.
(+48) 71 371 45 00, www.europeum.pl. Just across
the road from the Old Town you’ll find this super modern
and super clean hotel behind a chic glass fronted building.
Modern rooms are accessed with swipe cards and come
with climate control, cable TV, refrigerator and fully soundproofed
windows - the perfect solution to its busy central
location. Both the hotel and adjoining restaurant (Brasserie
27 - see restaurants) look way above their class, representing
amazing value for money. Elegant without ever being kitsch.
Q38 rooms (38 singles, 33 doubles). PTHARUF

Marshal B-5, ul. Piłsudskiego 104/Gwarna 23,
tel. (+48) 71 733 44 33, www.hotelmarshal.pl.
Freshly scrubbed and spotlessly clean across from
Wrocław’s main train station, you can’t beat the location
which features magnificent views of the city’s grand
transportation complex. A chic mirrored tunnel funnels
you into the marble lobby, which hints at the luxury
awaiting inside the rooms themselves - most of which
are larger than any hotel room we’ve ever slept in; in
fact, some are large enough for families of four. Q33
rooms (33 singles, 32 doubles, 10 triples, 10 quads).

Novotel ul. Wyścigowa 35 (Krzyki), tel. (+48) 71
339 80 51, www.accorhotels.com. This squat 60s
structure surrounded by flagpoles and conifers hides good
value accommodation on the fringes of Wrocław. Subject
of a recent rehab, Wrocław’s Novotel now includes 34
deluxe rooms and a brand-new lobby. All the standards
of this well-trusted brand have been followed if not
exceeded here, so you can expect a chirpy multi-lingual
staff, comfortable rooms and plenty of business travellers
and tourist groups. Though the location 6km south
of the Old Town may not seem ideal to those without a
car, you can still get there by trams 9 and 16, getting off
at the last stop. Q145 rooms (145 singles, 145 doubles).

Patio A-3, ul. Kiełbaśnicza 24-25, tel. (+48) 71
375 04 00, www.hotelpatio.pl. One of the city’s
better accommodation options, Patio is a sumptuous
hotel in a top location only minutes from the market
square. Centred around a modern yet elegant atrium,
the individually furnished rooms have been refurbished
for maximum comfort, with high-speed internet, state
of the art televisions, luxuriously decorated bathrooms,
deep carpets and comfy armchairs. The high standards
of service, decor and comfort also extend to the downstairs
restaurant, which is one of the best around, with
unbeatable lunchtime prices. Q51 rooms (42 singles,
20 doubles, 8 apartments). PTJHAR6GK

Polonia A-5, ul. Piłsudskiego 66, tel. (+48) 71 343
10 21, www.poloniawroclaw.pl. Though not looking
quite as plush as it did as the star of hundreds of 1930s
postcards, the Polonia has recently been restored to
3-star status and continues to offer ordinary, but big
rooms for a fair price. Bathrooms are clean and relatively
modern, though almost all have showers and not
baths. For an affordable sleep around the station this
is a good option. Q107 rooms (28 singles, 79 doubles).

Quality System Hotel Wrocław H-1, Al. Kromera
16, tel. (+48) 71 364 97 00, www.hotelsystem.
pl. Clean cream colours lend a sharp modern look to
the System and all rooms come equipped with their
own PC and flatscreen TV. This is a real favourite with
the corporate crowd though the cosmopolitan bar and
wellness centre - complete with swimming pool - mean
there’s plenty to occupy yourself with in those postconference
moments. Q107 rooms (100 singles, 77
doubles, 7 apartments). PTHAR6UFG
KDCwW hhh
Tumski C-2, Wyspa Słodowa 10, tel. (+48) 71 322
60 88, www.hotel-tumski.com.pl. While nothing to
rhapsodise about, Tumski offers pleasant rooms staring
across the Oder and new fixtures and fittings. The chief
conference room, ‘The Black Hall’, on the other hand
deviates from all norms; raise your eyebrows at beamed
ceilings, faux chandeliers and parquet floors. Q57
rooms (14 singles, 38 doubles, 3 triples, 1 apartment).
