If you come by car, just drive on the pavement and into the backyard where there's a parking lot for 5-6 cars. Parking is 20Plz a night.
Staff is friendly
Not all portiers speak English good enough so there might be some misunderstanding.
The hotel is worn down and dated but clean. It is simple but serves it purpose. You get a actual key which you should leave in the reception when going out. You lock the room from the inside with the key. There are no safety box in the rooms. No minibar or fridge.
We stayed here in September and stayed in during the day - it was freezing cold so bring an extra sweater.
TV has like 30 channels but they are all none-English speaking.
The walls are rather thin and I woke up a couple of times at night and early morning. Guests don't seem to show other guests a lot of respect. Loud voices in hallway.
Breakfast is continental with boiled hot dogs and eggs. Coffee is instant. Even if it is served in Café Bristol they do not even offer proper coffee from the bar. Service at breakfast was fine.
Bytom is a small town with not so many bars or restaurants and from here they are all nearby. If you arrive late and just want a quick bite, McD is practicularly next door.
There is a tiny supermarket just on the corner where they dont speak English but are willing to help. Dont be afraid to use body language.
I would definately stay here again.
They DO NOT accept AMEX. read more
