Hotels Near Filharmonia Podkarpacka im. Artura Malawskiego w Rzeszowie in Rzeszow

Our travel agent suggested we stay at the Bristol while visiting SE Poland. We spent 3 nights here and we found it to be a very convenient and pleasant stay. Check in was fast and easy. Lobby is modern and a bit rustic as was our room. While walking on one level of the hotel from one end to the other, you have to go up a few stairs here and down a few stairs there. A bit confusing but after a few days you find your way around. We had 2 double beds in a spacious room with a basic desk and chair. Flat screen TV had CNN and BBC in English. Nice tea and coffee maker. Glass enclosed bathroom has curtains along the outside so the bedroom area can’t see in - of course the person in the bedroom area could easily adjust the curtains. Bathroom had a walk- in shower - it all had a rustic dark wood vibe - nicely done overall. Very different. Our room did not have a view - it seemed to oversee a small inside courtyard where buildings came together - but we had plenty of light coming through the window. I really enjoyed the breakfast buffet. Everything was delicious and there was a great variety - scrambled eggs, breakfast meats, grilled veg, pancakes, blitzes, fruit, cereals, juices, and a nice cappuccino/coffee machine. This hotel is right on the main square, so you had easy access to restaurants’ outside seating that lined the square. Having said that, the hotel’s restaurant had THE BEST fresh pierogis I had in Poland. The “Russian pierogis” were made the hour before and came swimming in melted butter with a big dollop of sour cream. Absolutely delicious. We had had eaten in the inside restaurant the night before - food was good but not fantastic. Overall I found this hotel to be a bit different and eclectic and having a unique vibe that I really enjoyed. Simple unpretentious hotel that caters to a lot of different people.

Very convenient location for travelers, near the station. There was a Ukrainian-speaking staff on the station. However, there is no shower and toilet in the room, we did not count on it. We wrote an email to find out the details, but no answers were received.

It is a good choice for business travel. The hotel is located in the central area and has convenient transportation. It is next to the largest shopping mall in Rzeszow and a 10-minute walk from the largest central square in the area. It is highly recommended!

This hotel is not in the centre of Rzeszow, but in a quiet(ish) residential area. There were bus stops nearby, but with a taxi or an Uber it's easy enough to get to. There was also parking for those who have their own car. There wasn't much in the immediate neighbourhood in terms of eating and shopping, but it wasn't hard to get to the centre. The ”old town”, with its quaint square and collection of restaurants (many of which were decent), was not far by taxi. To be honest, it also wasn't far on foot if you are comfortable walking. I asked the Reception for directions, and they printed out a map for me and drew a route, and it took about 15-20 minutes. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating, and keen to help out and explain if they could. The room itself was basic but comfortable and clean. The same went for the shower room. All in all, I was able to sleep well, with things not too noisy. My room overlooked a neighbouring barracks, but that didn't generate any noise whilst I was staying there. There was a reasonable breakfast, with a modest selection of items. Whilst I was there, there were also facilities in place for any Ukrainian refugees, so that they could make drinks and the like. A nice touch showing a human side to the business given all of the chaos not far over the border. Would I stay here again? I wouldn't complain if I did. Sure, there are plusher and more modern hotels, and certainly many closer to the centre, but the staff are friendly and it is clean.

This hotel is right opposite the airport. That said, although not far, it's hard to get to on foot. It would mean lugging your suitcase through the car park, and then along a busy road before crossing that to get to the hotel. Due to the nature of the job I was there to do, I had a driver who took care of that for me, so I am not sure if there's a free shuttle back and forth between the airport... but I certainly wouldn't want to walk it, and definitely not at night. Once inside the hotel, all is good. It's a smart looking place, very modern and functional. Check in was easy to do and within minutes I was up in my room. Not a huge room, but large enough. Crucially it was also quiet. There was a lot of activity at the airport whilst I was there, with flights at all hours. However, these didn't bother me so the sound proofing must have been reasonable. The bed was comfortable, and there were USB sockets to charge up phones and the like. What I don't remember having was a fridge, but I could be wrong. The bathroom was smart and had what I needed. In the reception area there was a bar. I didn't think it was open, but I think environmental considerations means that many lights in Poland switch off more quickly than I have experienced elsewhere. Given both the climate and energy crisis we are facing, this is no bad thing. And as soon as I went to the bar, someone came along to serve me with whatever I wanted (alcoholic drinks or tea/coffee etc). I didn't eat dinner there, but did have both breakfast and a lunch. Quality was good, and although not a huge selection, there was enough there to be satisfied. If you need space for a meeting or work, there were rooms available for hire, too. They are happy to store your luggage after check out as well. I would stay in the hotel again. Staff were efficient and friendly, and the hotel was modern and clean. Food and drink was good for where it was. It's particularly handy for the airport. If, however, you are here for pleasure and to see the town, then note that this is 15 or so minutes taxi from the centre of Rzeszow. Not too far, but probably not ideal if you want to be able to walk around the place and not faff about booking taxis to go for dinner etc.
