Scandic St. Olavs Plass

"This barge is absolutely lovely, it’s clean and modern looking on the inside, stairs are steep inside so be careful you don’t stack it 😂 we had swans and ducks coming up to our balcony/window every day and we fed them, boats pass by very frequently which makes the place sway a lot! I got really mad motion sickness and took me a few days to adjust back to normal after taking travel sickness tablets, keep this in mind if you suffer as I couldn’t really enjoy my time to the fullest in Poland due to being dizzy constantly and feeling sick. The shower heating is run on electric and goes cold after a period of time, we queried this with hotel and they said it roughly stays warm for 10 mins max, so having to wait for it to warm up again after one person had already showered in the room was a bit annoying but not the end of the world. Overall really happy with the stay, staff were always friendly, they also offer a service for birthdays etc for an extra charge, I paid £20 for happy birthday balloons and it was great. There’s also a forum where you can go for drinks etc and there’s a food hall inside too, with all different cuisines to pick from, just walk up the steps outside reception and it’s in front of you. Overall would recommend."

"Just back from a short stay at this hotel. Can honestly say it was spotlessly clean and we were given a warm welcome by staff. Rooms are well planned out and spacious. Everything you might need is available in the room. The location is a short way outside of the main city centre but it’s a pleasant 10-15 minute walk in reality and worth it to stay in such lovely accommodation. Unfortunately the Forum seems to be no longer open behind the hotel, but Pino River bar and restaurant next door is very good!"

"Whilst the hotel is lovely I would not recommend it for people with mobility issues. There is a lot of building work going on around the riverside which makes it a longish walk to get to one of the 2 bridges to the Jewish quarter. We were only there for a 2 night stay and had paid for breakfast but another downside is breakfast is served in a roof top restaurant about 500 metres away and starts at 8 am to 1 pm . Fair enough our first breakfast missed because of our choice to go on a tour that started early but also missed the second days because our airport transport was at 07.00."
