Nice country view, staff very nice, stafff speak other languages.
Stayed at this motel in oct 2007 and I see this is the first review.It has a few names but the Karczma Michelle seems the most popular.It's a building in the middle of nowhere on the side of a main road ( A94 i think) between Jankowice and Olawa.I was there for two nights on a business trip.
The first thing is there is no reception.You check in at the kitchen.The whole place seems to be made of wood including the best part of a tree up in the rafters.
The food is fantastic.I know what you are thinking.It's Poland - how can the food be that good.?
It is.
Wonderful steaks - great salads - soups and chicken that will have you going back for more.
But oh dear - The rooms.It's an eating place rather than a motel and it shows.(It always had plenty of locals eating)
There are about six rooms and they are right next to the main area.It's ok because the place closes up at 10-o-clock and you only have to contend with the security guard pacing up and down the one corridor all night.There are more rooms somewhere else but we never saw them.
Take ear plugs as the kitchen staff fire up at five thirty in the morning.My colleague had room one that had a double bed but was inches away from the pub/eating area and complained about the noise early in the morning.I had room two which had two singles (both about 4 inches off the floor).One was so worn it was like a hammock.Bathroom is ok with a decent shower.No cups for brushing teeth ect which is odd.
The room was not cleaned during our stay.Housekeeping seemed to consist of mopping the corridor.
Get up early for the traditional continental breakfast as legion's of house-fly's are quite keen to race you there.They don't seem to notice them.
You check out and pay the evening before you leave as there are no qualified staff at breakfast.Even our Polish colleagues were surprised at that one.
The only place to sit is out in the pub area on rock hard wooden chairs. Best not to pay cash for anything as some of the waiters "forget" the change.I asked for a taxi on the morning we were leaving and although the waiter understood me perfectly they had no taxi numbers.Take a mobile and always have a Polish speaker on hand.
Wroclaw airport is about an hour away and is £20 in a taxi.Incidentally we had some colleagues that stayed in the "old town" and they said the food was awful.
All in all I would stay there again ( and probably will in a few months) just for the food and the fact there is no-where else close to the site I visit.Two nights - half board - including a truckload of stone cold Carlsberg beer was about £80.
Bargain.
