My husband and I stayed at Hotel Włoski over the pricey weekend (14-16 June, 2024) in Poznań when there was so much going on in the city (Pyrkon Festival, Dawid Podsiadło concerts and some sports event). We’d booked in advance back in February, and the room was already five times more expensive then. Did the hotel deliver? Yes and no. The surroundings are awful: a busy street, a city parking lot, and a construction site right next door. The location is good, though: very close to the Old Brewery (Stary Browar), the Old Town (Rynek) and MTP Poznań EXPO (International Fair) – all within walking distance really. Another good thing was the hotel parking lot – very convenient, but its location means you don’t have a proper restaurant garden at the back of the hotel because it’s… the parking lot! We stayed at one of the VIP SUPERIOR rooms on the fifth floor – I can’t say we were impressed with it. It was cramped and stuffy! The room was very small, the bathroom was tiny (shower only – NB they don’t have rooms with a bath in this hotel), the view – nonexistent (see above). It was quite clean, though (but the quality of the towels and the toiletries could and should be better). On the upside, the bed was amazingly comfortable. Breakfast was OK – nothing fancy, but there was a choice of dishes and almost everything was tasty. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about the restaurant. We had dinner there – and it was tasteless. My husband ordered FILETTO DI SALMONE AL PESTO (yuck!), and I had MELANZANE VEGANE which was awful, without any flavor whatsoever. A side note to the chef: vegan does not mean bland! We were very disappointed. Tiramisu didn’t meet our expectations, either. It was nothing like real Italian dessert! All in all, the experience was overpriced, definitely not good value for money.
