Szczecin


Don’t be fooled by the design-hotel reception here – rooms upstairs are rather austere affairs, though they do have good-quality furniture and pristine bathrooms. They're all pretty spacious, but need an update and the views of Szczecin’s soot-streaked backyards from the windows are uninspiring. Breakfast is taken in the cafe on the premises.
