I was only staying in Oleśnica and the Vis a Vis hotel seemed to be a suitable option. By suitable, I mean cheap, reasonably well reviewed and within three miles walking distance of the centre.
The receptionist asked why there were so many British people in the town that week, although I had absolutely no idea, but I hoped it was some stag group ready to cause disturbance.
The room was functional, clean and sufficiently modern looking. I like that this hotel advertises itself as quite loud on Fridays and Saturdays, I’m not sure what goes on, but as my stay was on a Tuesday night I didn’t get to find out.
There was a shared balcony, or shared roof if you prefer, for all the rooms on the floor, but I decided that I wouldn’t spend the evening out here.
Breakfast was included in the room rate and it all looked neatly laid out and presented. There were plenty of choice and I liked the efforts they had made to make it all look appetising.
And there’s the little morning selection. The hot drink they make, which is handy, and they did offer to make me scrambled eggs, but I had already eyed up the Greek salad that they had. I should have Greek salad for breakfast far more often, the feta was creamy, the tomatoes tasted fresh, the sauce had some flavour to it, all very agreeable.
The Greek salad was so lovely that I had some more, along with some apple pie. And a very nice apple pie it was too.
The hotel is located relatively near to the centre, the team members were friendly, it was all clean, there were no noise issues (but I was there on a Tuesday) and I thought that it all represented pretty decent for money.
