Vanilla Hotel

Keep in mind you'll need to carry your bags about 100m, since cars can't reach the hotel. They do have a decent parking solution. The rooms are great, the staff really friendly, and the location is perfect if you're visiting Lublin. Breakfast was very good, maybe even a little too sophisticated, but who's complaining? I can recommend it without hesitation, and it feels like good value for money.

Our first visit to Lublin was a good one, and we liked both the city and our accommodation. The hotel was easy to reach by phone and email, and we had a spacious studio room. Breakfast was very good. Just ask the waiter about the dishes they cook, or check the small menu on the table. Parking was the only confusing bit. We were meant to have a dedicated spot, but it apparently wasn't guaranteed. Luckily, we were there over the weekend and managed to park.

Just 3 minutes' walk from the old town gate, this is a nice little hotel with a very "cool" feel. The staff were warm and helpful, and each room has its own eclectic, youthful style. Our room was comfortable and well maintained. The hotel also has a restaurant and a conditory, both very, very good. Parking can be an issue in the city center, so check with reception if you're arriving by car.

Breakfast deserves a mention. Everyone seems to praise the sweets, and rightly so, they were delicate, tasty, and light. We also enjoyed the 3 kinds of mixed salad, all fresh and light. The historical building is nicely appointed, and our double room was spacious and quiet, with a good-sized bathroom. There's a lift to the floors. The hotel is very conveniently placed near the old center. Parking is one street ahead, but service there is only in Polish. We got by with help from a kind lady who translated, plus Google translate. The staff were relaxed about it, and you can ask them to call reception for any communication, where language isn't a problem. We'd go back.
