Hotel GAL

Top choice in Carpathian Mountains


Every Polish city should be so lucky to have a hotel this appealing so close to transport connections. The 1904 art nouveau building got a total makeover in 2014, leaving the large, light and airy rooms looking resplendent in contemporary style. There's free parking on site, the staff are friendly and the restaurant's good too (mains 28zł to 38zł).
