Hotel Szydłowski

The first room I stayed on smelled like cigarettes really bad. I didn't know they had smoking rooms & I don't speak polish & didn't ask for a nonsmoking room so I guess that's my fault as I'm in another country & am not used to its customs. I checked back in for 2 more nights the dame day after I checked out & gor a room on the 4th floor. Around midnight I came out of the bathroom & saw a guy standing by my bed staring at me. I actually thought I was in the wrong room for a second I was so caught off guard. He was looking at me like I caught him off guard as well. He litteraly just vanished a second later. I'm not on ***** nor do I have hallucinations & I have no history of mental problems. I didn't feel threatened by this person at all, it was we just surprised each other. I wentbdown to the front desk & asked if someone recently died in my room & the person there spoke really good English & asked me why? I told him exactly what happened & he didn't seem surprised at all. All he would say was well, we did have a russian guy make quite a mess in one of the rooms a few days before you checked in. I asked if it was I my room & he said no but I got a feeling it was or the room right next to mine. I described the person I saw to a tee & this front desk guyys eyes just lit up like I described this person exactly. I grew up in a ******* house in Pennsylvania usa & I know what real hauntings are & how bad they can actually be. This hotelnis nice it just has a real sadness about it. I'm not saying to not to stay here.ni actually really like this place , I just wasn't expecting to see a ghost . I didn't feel threatened at all & was fine staying in my room & didn't even ask for another room. For the price you really can't beat it. It's affordable, nice, & quiet. The rooms are really outdated but this is Poland & this isca really old hotel. I don't know when it was built but I'm guessing long before the second world War. There are signs up on the 4th floor saying the hotel is under renovations so hoping the carpets & furniture will get replaced. As the first room I stayed in the bed was like brand new & extremely comfortable & the second room I'm currently in & about to check out of the bed is old & worn out. Not comfortable at all. I usually don't write reviews but I feel that if your going to stay here you should know what to expect. Take care & stay safe fellow travelers- Andy from Florida-USA
