Focus Hotel Premium Pod Orłem

Ours stay at the Focus Hotel Premium Pod Orłem was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the excellent service was apparent, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and memorable experience. Kamal the receptionist was polite, professional and supremely knowledgeable about everything in Bydgoszcz and the surrounding area. He helped us to get to the historic and cultural places around the city by tram. His recommendations for food and treats is second to none. What truly sets this hotel apart is its captivating history and style. Housed in a beautifully preserved 19th-century building, every corner exudes a sense of grace and old-world charm. Our balcony was overlooked by a golden eagle! The elegant historic decor, combined with modern comforts, creates a unique ambiance that is both luxurious and welcoming. It's a place where you can feel the echoes of the past while enjoying all the conveniences of the present. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a stay that combines historical elegance with top-notch hospitality. We were provided with slippers and ample fresh fluffy towels and toothbrush and coffee and tea and a kettle in the room and the vanity set, shoe cleaner, clothes brush. All the cold still & sparkling water that you need and a small lockable fridge. There is also a sauna and hot tub for your use. It was such a privilege to say such a beautifully elegant, stylish and historic establishment. There are more modern hotels in the city with my however if history, architectural design & culture is your thing you’ve come to the right place.

Stunning building in a great location. Exceeded our expectations. Very clean. Very comfortable. Large rooms with everything we needed for a short stay. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was amazing. Huge choice. Quality ingredients served in a beautiful restaurant. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed for one night and had to leave quite early for a flight and so did not try the breakfast. The restaurant for dinner was very nice. We arrived early at the hotel, about noon. Our room was ready which was a nice surprise. Even better: we had booked a standard double room. We were given a whole suite ('apartament'), including a balcony, a grand piano (I don't wish to exaggerate -- it may have been a baby grand), and a bust of Artur Rubinstein who stayed there. Even without the suite, the hotel was charming.

The location is excellent: just near the town center with many shops and restaurants nearby. The personal is very polite and friendly. The interior is awesome preserving the original art nouveau style of the end of XIXth century (one really feels inside a palace). Moreover, the hotel was linked with some celebrities (e.g. Piłsudski and Rubinstein). The price is very low for a four-star hotel: we paid around 1200 złotych (approx. $300) for 4 nights.

Location in the town centre, close to best attractions in Bydgoszcz. It is a beautiful hotel in a historic building, only one in its kind.
