Villa Wilda

Manager is very kind. Explain about market places. Luggages carrying. Leads to parking place. When i ask something he answers very quickly.

Advertised as a hotel, it's definitely a hostel quality space, a youth hostel with an extra step (i.e., larger rooms). What sticks out is the terrible state of the shared toilet and bathroom - mouldy, smelly, dusty, with paint peeling off the walls. The toilet smelled like cigarettes, so I'm quite positive people were smoking there. It's a typical old tenament building, and I suppose the landlord never bothered to do anything about terrible piping (that's probably where the smell was from). The kitchen was also unclean, it's embarassing to have tons of limescale in the kettle. The room itself was ok and quite spacious, though the mattress and furniture were stained. I stayed there in May, but I've noticed single-glazed windows and old radiators, so it looks like a place that freezes in winter. Windows don't protect you from the noise, and the street is really noisy as it's a dense tram route. Both doors and walls seemed paper-thin and I could hear people having a loud party in the neighbouring room at night. When I've tried to ring the number placed on the door sign, I was told it's outdated and the member of the staff didn't even explain how to contact the facility. Just a typical case of a greedy Polish landlord converting tenament building in a poor state into poorly kept tourist traps.

Very nice place. The starecase did not promise much, but the room was renovated and nice and clean. We had a kichnette where we could make breakfast and a balcony to sit on the evening. The situation is very god. About 20 minutes walk to the old town or If you like to take a Tran, the stop is only 100 meters away.

Really nice rooms. Very clean. Close to public transportation. Wondering staff, especially Elena and Jerry. Room on street a bit noisy because of tram, but you stop noticing. Also communal kitchen where you can cook if you are on a budget.
