I found the Qubus Wroclaw generally very pleasant - I had a spacious room on a higher floor which was cool and well-ventilated with the door to the wrap-around balcony open; the aircon was not icy cold but was adequate. The area is really convenient - on the edges of the Old Town but just a few minutes walk to the central square with a really good supermarket about a block away and close to several tram lines. The immediate vicinity was a bit noisy at night - there was a cafe very close by playing loud music, but it stopped around midnight.
The one outstanding disappointment for me was the quality of the internet access. I booked the room via hotels.com, which stated that the hotel has both wired internet and wifi available in all rooms at no cost to the guest. When I checked in, the receptionist told me that the internet connection was via cable, gave me a code to log in, and described how to plug the cable in to my laptop. However, when I went to connect in the room, there was no cable and in fact no port. I found the wireless network and connected to that, but it was literally the slowest "high speed" connection I have ever seen. The status showed a possible connection speed of 11 mbps, but over the course of three days, I was never able to get an...I found the Qubus Wroclaw generally very pleasant - I had a spacious room on a higher floor which was cool and well-ventilated with the door to the wrap-around balcony open; the aircon was not icy cold but was adequate.

I went down to the front desk and found a different receptionist and inquired about the possibility of a wired connection. She said the hotel does not have wired internet at all, and that all rooms have wifi. (This is consistent with the hotel's own site, but not with the described amenities on their hotels.com listing.) When I reported the issues with speed and connectivity, she gave me a new log-in code. It didn't help. I ended up using the data connection from my tethered mobile phone for the duration of my stay.
Long story short - still a nice place for a purely leisure visit, but if you'll need to do anything on line, bring your own connection or stay elsewhere. Give that the hotel describes itself as a business class hotel, the lack of a usable internet connection seems like a significant drawback - though not one every traveller will care about or even notice.More
