DoubleTree by Hilton Wroclaw

Very impressed with pretty much everything about this property

This is an excellent property that checks all the boxes. I had an excellent experience. 1. Most importantly, the rooms are clean and comfortable, with comfortable mattresses, nice bedding, and good in-room climate control. The technology worked well, including WiFi. And in a world where it is becoming less common, I appreciate that this hotel still offers live linear TV, including CNN International, a faithful companion when I (an American) travel abroad. 2. Common areas (lobby, elevators, hallways) were clean and well-maintained. 3. The amenities were great, specifically the pool and gym. Just be aware that there are two gyms in the building: one in the basement adjacent to the pool that is part of a private fitness club and hence available to hotel guests only for a fee, and another on the first floor that is complimentary for hotel guests. The gym for hotel guests features nice, modern, clean, well-maintained weight and cardio equipment, and offers a water dispenser and towels. 4. It is conveniently located in the heart of Wroclaw. There is a medium-sized shopping mall across the street inclusive of a Carrefour supermarket. Old Town and its many restaurants and cafes is a short walk. The riverfront (good for strolling, photos, and boat tours) is a 15 minute walk. 5. The breakfast buffet is extensive and amazing, with an abundance of hot and cold offerings and a very pleasant seating area and ambience, including outdoor seating in the courtyard. You can get a made-to-order omelet, and they will bring it to your table. 6. I like that there are self-service water dispensers throughout the guest floors, dispensing both still and carbonated water. Regrettably, there are no ice dispensers, which would have been a nice add. 7. Note that some rooms have walk-in showers, while others have bathtubs (with showerhead). If you have a preference, you may wish to contact the hotel in advance and make your preference known. 8. Staff were universally kind and courteous and competent. The only thing about this hotel that might be a significant negative to some is that the hotel is "very horizontal". It can be a very long walk to your room.
