The Art Hotel Wroklaw

Wroclaw
Lower Silesia Province
Poland

After a pit stop at the Toalety and an admonishment from a Polish rent-a-cop to stop taking pictures in baggage claim, we exited the terminal, walked across the arrivals lane and hailed a taxi from the taxi queue. "Do you speak English?" No? No problemo. I've written down the name and address of the hotel. "Yes. Yes. Gooood."

A good 20 miles and half hour later we pulled up to the Art Hotel. The meter was hidden so I didn't know what to expect but was shocked when the driver showed it to me. 60 Zt or all of $18 or so. I'd heard that Poland was inexpensive but with $7 a gallon gas, how do these guys make a living? He seemed ecstatic when I gave him 80 Zt and told him to keep the change.

I didn't tell Mrs. SFO but I used Tripadvisor to pick the small (50-ish room) boutique Art Hotel, rated #2 of 61 by TA. I booked a suite (Apartment) based on hotel website pics and TA comments for 760 Zt or about $237 a night. Beautiful one bedroom suite with two baths and balcony, lovely hotel, great location. Mrs. SFO was very happy. Happy wife. Happy husband.
