Novotel Wroclaw Centrum

Novotel Wroclaw Centrum stands on Powstańców Śląskich street in the Krzyki district, a shopping and business area south of the old town and close to the main railway station. It is a four-star hotel with a restaurant, a coffee shop and a bar, a 24-hour gym, a sauna and a games room, along with free Wi-Fi, a business centre, laundry services and an electric car charging point. Pets are accepted for a fee, bikes can be rented and the hotel offers a paid airport shuttle. The position suits travellers arriving by train, those who prefer a less touristy neighbourhood and people who want reliable chain standards with good facilities. The Market Square is a longer walk than from the old-town hotels, about twenty minutes on foot.

The location is the key trade-off. The railway station is about twelve minutes away on foot, which makes arrival and departure easy, especially with luggage, and trams and taxis connect the area to the old town and to Centennial Hall. The Market Square is roughly a twenty-minute walk, so you will use trams or short taxi rides in the evenings, particularly in winter or when it rains.

In return, you get a quieter surrounding area, practical shops and restaurants nearby and, on average, a less crowded feel than the streets around the Rynek, which is useful in busy periods such as the Christmas Market season.

The facilities are strong for a hotel of this type. The sauna and 24-hour gym suit travellers who want to unwind after a day on cobbles, and the restaurant and bar mean you can eat in without leaving the building. Parking is available for a daily fee, with an electric charging point for guests with electric cars, and a paid airport shuttle is offered, so check rates and book in advance.

Breakfast is available as a paid continental option. Rooms follow the chain standard, so expect a practical, comfortable room rather than a quirky one, and ask for a higher floor if you want quiet.

Choose Novotel Wroclaw Centrum if you arrive by train, travel by car and want parking and a charging point, or want a reliable mid-priced base with a gym and sauna. Choose an old-town hotel such as the Wyndham or PURO if you want to step out of the door onto the Market Square.

Families will appreciate the practical facilities and the option of a pet-friendly stay, and business travellers will like the meeting facilities. Check the current rates for the dates you plan to visit, as prices vary with events and fairs, and compare the cost of a taxi or tram against a more central room.
