Katowice is not one of Poland's top tourist destinations, but it's a pleasant working town and offers easy transport connections to other major cities in Poland. We attended a concert in Katowice & stayed 2 nights at the Novotel. After a 40 min. taxi ride from Katowice airport, we arrived at midnight and were greeted in a pleasant, professional manner... more

This was my 2nd stay at this hotel and probably my fifth visit to katowice. Checking in was easy enough, the room was a good size and contained the basics. Its about 15mins walk to the city centre and on a sunny day it is a pleasant walk as you get a better feel of the environment. The best bit... more

Well, I was dissappointed. With the hotel and the room. In fact, the room was not refurbished at all (it was a standard room), with an uncomfortable bed and a small bathroom with shower. Very expensive room service. Next time I will take a superior room and prepare supper by on own. more

Nice hotel, Friendly staff, clean room, breakfast is european... Free in-room internet access which is a plus. Spa, pool and Jacuzzi. A bit dated looking but clean and secure. Stayed here during a business trip a while back. more

Hotel is just outside the city centre but you can easily walk there. Hotel is standard Novotel style and service so you know what you are getting. The receptionist was very friendly... more

PRO: - pretty easy to find, you see it from a distance - modern, clean, comfortable - outstanding restaurant ... nouvelle cuisine style but sensible portion, innovative, appreciated the fact that the menu presented only one dish with pork ... extremely rare in Poland, a good variety of... more

Stayed here for four nights in August, hotel is one of the cleanest hotels we have ever stayed in , nice swimming pool , sauna, etc, stayed here before visiting Auchwitz, 45 minutes away by taxi. evening meal slightly expensive by Polish standards, would recommend this hotel. more

We went to Katowice for a gig -- which was much cheaper than going to a festival in the UK by the way. The Novotel had good reviews and we weren't disappointed. It's about half an hour from the airport (less if you get a psycho taxi driver like we did) and easy to spot. Check in was quick and... more
