I have arrived in the mansion style hotel in the late evening, after over 18 hours journey. It was freezing cold and miserable and the minute we stepped into the small lobby, through a fantastic vintage door, we were transported into the land of calm, warmth and helpfulness.||||The check-in was smooth and quick. Luggage was taken upstairs to a comfortable and clean room right away and we were taken to the hotel's restaurant through the internal staircase. ||||I can sing many praises about the the restaurant, the decor, the food and the service and I will. In one word SUPERB. The decor was opulent and rich. The choice of food, it's quality and presentation was world class. The timing of dishes arriving was spot on. This is probably 4* restaurant but the price of meals did not reflect it - the value was great.||||The room was plush, comfortable, warm and totally sufficient for our 5 day stay. ||The hotels location is very central to local historical attractions, shopping, theatre and around the corner from the philharmony. It is short Taxi ride away from the Main Train Station (Dworzec PKP). The service was swift, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. ||||It was a pleasure to stay here. So, if you find yourself in this part of the world, the Golden Rose Hotel would be a...
Read moreThis is a charming, small hotel in the center of Kielce. We stayed for one night and arrived relatively late. The check-in was uncomplicated and fast. The rooms are spacious and definitely have some old-world charm, with homely and traditional furniture. There is some limited parking in front of the hotel and a larger parking lot about 2-3 minutes walking distance where we left the car for the night. The lady at the reception had told us that the parking is free on weekend nights until 9am the next day, so we trusted her and didn’t pay a parking fee until shortly before 9am the next day. However, when I paid for the parking the next day, I noticed a parking fine that had been given at 7am in the morning, so we confronted the receptionist with this matter and the hotel promptly managed to resolve it, much to our relief. The breakfast was good and fresh, although relatively limited in choice. The restaurant looked very nice but unfortunately we didn’t have the opportunity to try it for...
Read moreWe arrived expecting a standard double room with a double bed or at least 2 singles pushed together. When the male desk clerk told us this was only available with a deluxe double, I contested this with him and asked for a free upgrade. He seemed to get mad at this idea and was rude. I ended up paying for a deluxe double. ||||The room was spacious and nice with excellent bathroom. An elevator made the 4th floor easy. However, the wifi was TERRIBLE. We basically had to go out to the end of the hall to get wifi reception. Several requests to the front desk (now with much more friendly female clerks) were all to no avail. I must say, breakfasts were great with excellent service and a nice variety of good things to eat. Parking is only free on weekends, otherwise you need to put money in the meters or pay the front desk to do it. We took our car to the old town area as it was quite a walk...
