Residence Marco Polo

Cozy, comfortable rooms right in the heart of town.

The attic apartment was thoughtfully laid out and nicely furnished, and the building felt cozy and fairly quiet. We could cook or make hot drinks in the kitchen, and the good Wi-Fi made it possible to work remotely. The staff were very friendly, and collecting the key was easy since the pickup point was close. It's a great spot for walking around the Old Town and being near everything. We spent two nights here and would recommend it for a short visit, though a longer stay could have some drawbacks. Cooking was hard to air out because there's no extractor hood and ventilation is poor. Getting in can also be awkward, especially with suitcases, since cars can't reach the headland. The parking lot is about 2 km away, so you have to walk everywhere from there. Paid parking is the only option, and it isn't cheap at 8kn/hour, about 5 PLN/hour. You still have to find a free spot. We arrived around 8:30 PM, searched for about 20 minutes, then found one in a difficult place about a 30-minute walk from the apartment. Keep all of that in mind when planning your stay.

The reception is a short walk along the harbor, at the left corner of "Porta Antica," and the women there were very friendly. There are lots of nearby restaurants for breakfast, and "Segutra" is highly recommended, just a few steps away. The place is lovely and very central in the old town, right by the harbor. Rooms are small but charmingly furnished and practical. Each floor has a double room with a little bathroom, including a shower, toilet, and sink, plus a kitchenette and good air conditioning. Room 12 is on the ground floor, with tables from a neighboring restaurant right outside the windows. If you can, ask for room 13, 14, or 15 on the first through third floors. Just know there's a very narrow spiral staircase.

The room was pleasant, though the noise made it hard to sleep.
