Hotel Augustyn
The staff was cheerful and very helpful. They booked a taxi for us and even tried to call me when they found my husband’s credit card on the ground outside the hotel! The breakfast was reasonably priced and delicious with all the selections we could have wanted. We had a wonderful stay!

The room was a suite and very spacious with a bedroom on the first floor ...
