STARY

We stayed for 3 nights in room 300 a luxury suite. I will start with the negative hence only 4 stars from me. The room was very noisy and not noise from outside but from the room above ! ! I understand that is an historic building but there’s no sound proofing. We were lucky enough that only one night out of the 3 someone was in the room above us. You could hear them talking as if they were in the room with us ! I would not expect that for a 450 GBP a night room. No “noise privacy “ at all. We had to turn the TV on and open the window to let the street noise cover the talking of the people in the room above . Good thing is that we asked the reception for earplugs and we had a good night sleep in the end. Pillows are soft and now easy to sleep on. Positives : big spacious suite, air con ( but only in one of the 2 rooms worked but was fine ) , bathrobes , slippers, Aqua di Parma toiletries ( fixed to the wall) , good hair drier, tea and coffee facilities in the room ( we asked for milk too and was provided immediately) , good tasty food at breakfast (choice of buffet and order from the menu ) , iron and board . We arranged an airport transfer with the hotel on way in , but on way out we took a Bolt right from behind the hotel ( there’s a small square with fountains ), and the Bolt ended up being under 1/3 of the price of the hotel transfer. I initially heard that taxis do not come to the hotel due to old town restrictions but that’s not the case. I would have just taken an Uber / Bold on way in too otherwise. Great location. We used the spa changing rooms to change later in the day we left . The hotel kept our suitcases safe for a few hours.

Well, we certainly got lucky with this one. It's about as close to the main square as it's possible to get without actually being on it. On the other side of the block is Szczepański square which has some really good restaurants. In fact almost every building in the area is a bar, cafe or restaurant. Gorgeous design, very spacious and comfortable, all the amenities you could want with absolutely no fuss. We had a lovely big room at the front with a sort of shared balcony, but all the noise from the bars below disappeared with the doors shut. We didn't eat in the restaurant or have breakfast there so can't comment, but spent a fair bit of time in the rooftop bar and had a couple of snacks which were excellent. Loved it.

The staff was friendly, helpful and professional. The service was high level, and all wishes were quickly fulfilled. Breakfast was varied and of high quality – there were both hot and cold dishes, fresh fruit and delicious coffee. A special highlight was the wellness area, which is perfect for relaxing after a long day. Overall, I highly recommend the Hotel Stary!
