Both times I've come the restaurant was not busy. They don't have a large menu but do Officer the standard salads, meats, and soup options.

The facility is clean with coffee (espresso) and water being offered all day. Only negatives where inside the rooms, there is no wash cloths, bring your own and there is a single plug in block on the desk. Bring a long cable to place your electronics on your nightstand. Highly recommend as it is next to Torun downtown (walking, water front, restaurants and museums)

We came to this hotel with a tour. Air condition is not waiting. First they informed us that it is…read morebroken and they have asked technician to come and fix it. However, the A/C was never fixed (not only for us but also for the rest of group).

For our visit to Torun, we picked our hotel just outside the very center of the city. Regarding the…read morefacilities, the place was by far the nicest hotel we had in Poland! In the evening we could enjoy for free the included cinema and jaccuzzi and it's only a ten minutes walk away from the marvellous city center! In Belgium they offer one day boat cruises to York in the UK, which is a old town that the English are very proud of to show to tourists. But honestly, it's by far not as nice as Torun! That's my humble opinion. So if you can combine that with a very fancy hotel like Hotel Filmar, which is by the way very cheap for Western standards, you are much better off! The breakfast buffet that we enjoyed there was also by far the best and wealthy one that we enjoyed in Poland! Very advisable place to stay!

I recommend the hotel's breakfast buffet - a really good value and excellent meal to start your day. We had a few hiccups with our room key, though easily remedied at the front desk. Clean and quiet - very friendly and attentive staff.

An absolutely tremendous hotel for the price that you pay (by Western standards). The rooms are…read morespacious, clean, and quiet - just what any weary international traveler needs. I rented one of the suites and was impressed with a full room that had a bed room, living room, bathroom, and solarium. Breakfast is provided at the hotel if it's a part of your package. Has coffee, juices, cold cuts, eggs, sausage, etc. - enough to satisfy any hungry appetite. Make sure that you bring your own converter for those traveling with 110v capable devices - they do not have them at the front desk.

I've read that the Polish pride themselves on being excellent hosts, and Pod Czarną Różą demonstrates that well. This is a hotel with a bed and breakfast feel and a prime location. It's near the clubs, which aren't my thing any more, but it's also near the water, near the leaning tower, near cafes, near the square, near NCU... This isn't a technical five-star hotel. It doesn't satisfy some list of check boxes. It's not cookie cutter. There's character. You'll trip on the ledge at your room's door. You might worry a bit on the tight stairs. The floor creaks as an older building should. The shower's European, so beware of cracking your elbows. All this, and they have a real iron you can use. Seriously, silly "business" hotels, why can't you get this right? The staff went above and beyond. I needed to check out at 5am, and they not only accomodated me but also volunteered to help with my missed breakfast. One lady provided an excellent suggestion for dinner, Oberza two doors down. They always welcomed me with smiles, even with my sad attempts at phrasebook Polish. Perhaps I'd feel differently if I were lodged in the newer building, but my stay in the older one was utterly delightful. And extremely inexpensive. Oh, and there is a jar of Nutella on every breakfast table.
