This place is absolutely gorgeous! Renovated to perfection! Its a beautiful romantic getaway building but the surrounding area has nothing to offer. However, Torun Old Town is directly north about 37 minutes away. Its a fast drive at night - but becareful what route you take in maps. I was caught on a farm road in the middle of the night - a direct shortcut that Apple maps thought was paved. Ha!
When checking in, there is no "reception desk" but there is a person at a small table that will help you. The hotel is pet-friendly and definitely a great location for dogs as it is surrounded by forest and nature. Its tucked away from the main street and is eerily quiet at night but I did not sense any spirits here, even though it was a private estate and the Mother had died during childbirth. Then it was a University and a kindergarten as well. It was completely destroyed in 1945. The renovations took 12 years to complete.
The beds are more comfortable than expected. The standard room is LARGE with an extra large bathroom and shower. Its such a great deal for the price and the staff is kind. There is a full bar and restaurant on-site. The walls are decorated with art for sale. Its just a very well-kept hotel. All parking surrounds the hotel on either side or out front at the round entrance. Its very well lit at night. I felt safe the entire time. The one weird thing is that they lock the doors to the hotel at night. You have to ring the doorbell to have someone let you in, after you let yourself out, if someone is not aware you are outside. It felt like being tucked in with a curfew. It made walking the dogs at night very awkward but its not a deal-breaker. You just need to tell a staff member you're outside and they will leave the door unlocked. It just makes you feel more safe. We enjoyed an evening at the bar with some wine and the young and courteous bartender offered us a plate of cheeses. It was delicious for 60PLN. The wine, a Rioja, was 95PLN a bottle. The breakfast is fresh and hot and kept stocked. Scrambled eggs, sausages, jams, jellies, mini pancakes, herring, goose, and much more. I am just very pleased with this location and it will be a pinned location for future visits. Thank you to the owners for such a stunning place. read more
