Podgorze Vacations from $707

Great, spacious apartment very close to town square attractions and the train station. Average communication with the management team. Our laundry machine and bathroom plug did not work from the beginning (it was important for us to get laundry done after two weeks of traveling before the next part of the trip). I reported it right away when we checked in on Friday and understandably was willing to wait until Monday for the problem to be fixed due to the weekend, however, the management team wrongly stated that we did not leave the key as requested on Monday. The next day the management team told us that they were unable to get into the apartment again (through messaging app), however, my husband was talking to the repair man right in our apartment before we even received this message. Unfortunately, during our seven days stay this issue was not resolved and not until day five I was offered a code to the laundromat a few blocks away (I wished that was offered right away). Also, although the bathroom looked beautiful, it was poorly functional due to not having a shower and just a bathtub (it was my mistake for thinking that this would not be a problem when I booked this property). With six of us there and one bathroom with a bathtub, the water was spraying all over the bathroom and causing slippery conditions. For this reason alone, I would not book this apartment again although I loved everything else about it.

A hotel with amazing staff and an extremely helpful owner manager. Beautiful art deco style decor throughout and a lift to all floors as well as stairs, if you would prefer. The reception area is very well kept and the dining area, of to the right, is also. The rooms are delightful, we had good views of the terrace below and could see the main tower in the square from both windows. We had room 8.1 which I believe was a larger bed. Stacks of choice for breakfast, meats & cheeses, cooked eggs & bacon, pastries, cereal, fruit and tea & coffee. We had booked an Auschwitz trip for 0900 Sunday but that got changed to an 0520 pick up, yes, not a typo! The owner/manger, who's name I still can't pronounce, made us a breakfast bag for pick up at 0445, what an absolute star. If that isn't pushing the boundaries I don't know what is. Auschwitz is a very long day, with a very early start, it was a bit too much for me, as I suffer with many ailments. Please be prepared! Buy any mars bars, sweets, drinks and food before you go, as the vending machines at the site are horrifically expensive. It's a 2 minute walk to the main square, where you are spoilt for choice for menus, drinks & desserts. We would happily stay here again and would not bother looking anywhere else.

The staff was great and very considerate.
