Villa Promenada

That morning view from the windows is “gorgeous,” as the photos show. The balcony looks out over rooftops, with food smells too, and there’s no TV in the living room, just one in the upstairs bedroom. This place is behind a tiki bar, so the music goes until midnight, then deliveries start in the morning. You can also hear loud bar music until 3 a.m. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re really into partying.

Even being close to the sea and promenade didn’t make up for this terrible room. The photos don’t match reality, and cleanliness was far below standard. We booked for three, but there was bedding for only two beds and no towel for the third person. Parking costs extra, yet there was nowhere to park, or you had to scramble to find a “snuggle.” The walls are paper thin, so we heard everything, including the guests above walking around and making the ceiling creak. I don’t recommend it. A waste of money.

It was clean, but the beds kept sliding apart. There was only cold water in the evenings. The guesthouse connects directly to the Tiki Bar below, so you can hear the music, and the thin walls let through neighbors’ voices and footsteps from upstairs.

The location is a plus, and the cottage is behind a tiki bar where we got 15% off the total bill. The finish inside is pretty average. In the morning, water use in the neighboring cottage made enough noise to wake the tenants and keep them from sleeping. Parking costs an extra 40 PLN per day.
