robolots 35 Posted July 15, 2006 Has anyone got any decent Bydgoszcz hotels they could recommend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rico 210 Posted July 16, 2006 Pod Orlem undoubtedly the classiest. City is modern and a very good standard . After that you are looking at the Brda as the best of the rest. Rico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob B 1,263 Posted July 16, 2006 If you are talking about for the GP, doubt you will get one, we struggled and that was back in March. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob B 1,263 Posted July 16, 2006 I can't remember but we tried Pod Orlem, Brda etc and they were full. If you get in great, maybe they've had some rooms become available since then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robolots 35 Posted July 17, 2006 Is Bydgoszcz the size of a very small village then?? I made a fairly late booking to Wroclaw and found a hotel no problem. I made a reservation yesterday with supposedly "live" vacancies and today it has come back with none available. It did however come back with an alternative in Krakow!!!!!! As it is i'm flying to Poznan and hiring a car so don't mind driving a wee bit, so if anyone else has any suggestions please post them or i will be packing my tent me thinks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob B 1,263 Posted July 17, 2006 Yep from what I gather there is only about 5-6 hotels and none of them are that big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you can't get any joy getting a room in Bydgoszcz itself then I'd suggest booking a back-up in Torun (about 30 km away) and seeing if you can get something last minute in Bydgoszcz itself. Normally the organisers release the rooms they don't want around a week before the GP and all of a sudden the likes of the Pod Orlem and City have spare capacity. Also, depending on your required standard of accomodation, there are a few other hotels in Bydgoszcz. The official city site is a good source of other hotels - link here.

If interest, e-mail me privately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rico 210 Posted July 18, 2006 Thanks PolskiZuzel - I could have sworn I was looking at it in English when I copied the link. Rico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PolskiZuzel 329 Posted July 18, 2006 Thanks PolskiZuzel - I could have sworn I was looking at it in English when I copied the link. Rico <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're welcome I think you are right. When I first opened your link it came up in Polish so to help our English speaking friends I found an alternative "English" button. When I tried your link just now it opened in English :-) Funny how things are, aren't they. Ps. see you at Reading (perhaps ?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rico 210 Posted July 18, 2006 Yes - look forward to hopefully meeting you. I'll leave it to the boy (Mateusz) to sort out details. Rico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
