OW Gromada Pod Topolami

It's a budget option if you plan to spend most of your time on the beach or exploring nearby, and you get what you pay for. The place seems past its better days, with a distinctly early-eighties feel. Wi-Fi is very weak, and not every bungalow has a fridge. If you're looking for a certain standard or quality, this isn't the place.

This was one of the worst places I've stayed, even after visiting different countries in Asia and Africa. My girlfriend was afraid to go to the toilet by herself because the place felt so creepy, and the walls between rooms were paper thin. I had to pay for the full stay even though I hadn't seen the room beforehand. We paid for three nights, but left after one and booked somewhere else. Don't book this place, look for another one. Sorry to the people who work there, but that's the truth.

It's cheap, and that's about all it has going for it. The bathroom hadn't been cleaned after the previous guests: there was sand in the shower and an old razor left behind. The kettle was sitting on top of the fridge, the torn net curtains were nailed to the window frame, the walls were dirty, and the beds were very uncomfortable. Everything felt old and dirty, with paint peeling off the exterior walls. Forget the free Wi-Fi. They give you a password, but the signal is so weak you can't connect unless you get up at 5 a.m. I'm sure this place had its good days, but it doesn't anymore. It's the 21st century.

We showed up without a booking, and the room was clean with the bed all ready. It felt like stepping into Poland's past, but in a cheerful way. We were happy with our stay, thanks.
