Baluty Hotels, Łódź

"Clean room, comfortable bed and congenial staff."

"Overall, a fairly average hotel for the price. Before booking, I called to confirm the availability of sports channels and specifically asked multiple times about Canal+. I was assured there would be a wide selection, but in reality only Eleven Sports 1–3 were available—no Canal+ or even TVP Sport, which is a publicly available channel. This was disappointing, especially as the full channel list is readily available at reception, but I was not provided with that information during the call despite asking. Similar sports channel packages, including Canal+, are fully available at nearby Qubus and Novotel hotels, and could also be easily confirmed at their receptions. As a result, despite the hotel having a nice lobby with TVs, the available channels were not really worth watching. Breakfast was noticeably worse than at Qubus, which offered both greater variety and higher quality food and drinks, including absolutely delicious homemade dishes. Qubus is also cheaper on average, which makes the value here less convincing. Staff did not come across as particularly welcoming and at times seemed disengaged, with the exception of the buffet area where they were somewhat more helpful. Another downside is that the windows in the rooms cannot be opened, which was an issue for me. If I had to point out any positives, the bed was very comfortable and the gym being open 24/7 is a nice feature."

"Great place"

"The apartment is okay. In the photos, it looks like a high-standard place, but when I arrived, it was clear that it has been used by many guests. The beds were broken, there was no cable for the TV, and the bathroom had a very bad smell — at first, I thought there was a sewage leak, and the bathroom even got flooded. I called the owner, and to be fair, all the issues were fixed the next day. The apartment is quite noisy — you can hear everything the neighbors are saying from the kitchen. During the weekend, there were two parties in nearby apartments, so it was very loud. I asked the agency if there are many short-term rentals in the building, and they confirmed that there are — which explains the noise. On the positive side, the location is great — close to the city center and Manufaktura — and there’s also parking available, which is a big plus. The noise isn’t the owner’s fault, just the nature of the building and the type of guests staying there. Overall, it’s fine for a short stay."
