Pałac w Kurozwękach — Hotel in gmina Staszów

Pałac w Kurozwękach:||||5/5 Food: we ate breakfast and dinner in the restaurant. Breakfast was traditional east-polish style of all-you-can-eat bread, cut meats, spreads, salads, vegetables - and all very fresh and reasonably priced. For dinner, we had a menu of the day (soup+main+side) - also good.||||3/5 Room: The main room itself was clean and very interesting, giving the appearance of stepping back into time 200 years. It was very quiet and we all slept in late. The only negatives were that the bathroom appeared dirty and that there were mosquitoes everywhere. None of us got bitten, but there were hundreds of them hidden in every nook and cranny. Maybe they were non-biters...but I expected more from a zł200 room.||||4/5 Location: there are various activities within the hotel grounds, so there is no need to leave, but it is quite some distance to any large city. However, medieval Szydłów is only 10 mins down the road and makes for a great afternoon trip. ||||5/5 Activities: For those interested in history, the palace has a very interesting one, so the palace tour is recommended. There is an option for a 'dungeon tour', but it is designed for children and probably not interesting for most adults. Outside the palace, there is a mini zoo, a corn maze, a playground with a high pulley swing, paintball, horse riding...basically any activity that you could think of. The atmosphere is very relaxed and you can pretty much pick and choose what and when you would like to do each event. ||||Description/Other: A large portion of the palace is beautify restored and the grounds provide many activities for guests (especially kids) that create a draw for the entire family. The service is good and and the food is very tasty. The owner is a relative of the original owners, who moved back to Poland and re-purchased his family's estate after the fall of Communism. They live on the premises.||||Synopsis: a family-friendly, interesting, and peaceful hotel with great food||Compliment: excellent renovation job||Complaint: lots mosquitoes in the rooms||||Squidwilk Tip: Check out their website before you go; because of the diverse activities, you may want to plan ahead - or stay...

My Opinion may be outdated - we were in the palace a few years ago for a family reunion.

We spent a few nights there and lived in various rooms of the palace and in the palace buildings. It was a cold period and the room lacked both a winter duvet and an electric heater, the next night a small heater was delivered, which was definitely not enough to heat a large room. Water under shower was lukewarm, barely usable. We ordered a double bed, however there are no such in the hotel, they are two single beds placed close together, however their traditional character with wooden railings and decorations made the break significant :)

The food - we only tried breakfasts and dinners - was tasty, you can also enjoy the meat specialty in the restaurant, the 'bison meat' if you are a meat lover.

There is also a pizzeria in the palace with a billiard table and darts, and for children there is an attraction in the form of a walk through 'the palace dungeon'.

The palace itself is a very interesting place to see, the rooms are under renovation, but are still in good condition.

It is a good starting point for exploring attractions in the area.

The price for a few nights was not high, but the lack of heating and hot water spoiled the reception...

After a few years, we visited hotel in Kurozwęki again, and again we encountered the same problem as a few years ago. We spent the night in a guest house where the heating did not work while outside the temperature dropped to 3 degrees C at night, again the hotel staff did not offer an electric heater, did not provide other heated hotel room. So despite the other positive aspects, I can't recommend a hotel whose guest rooms are NOT HEATED, the room temperature has dropped to 11 degrees C !!! few years ago I was ensured by hotel staff that it was a one-time technical problem. Seriously??? The exact same one-time technical problem few...
