Cilantro Bed & Breakfast

Cilantro Bed & Breakfast Overview

So I ended up staying at Cilantro Bed & Breakfast mostly because I needed somewhere quiet after a few nights in those louder hostel dorms, and honestly? Best last-minute decision of the trip. It’s tucked away on Pomorska Street, which you might not even notice if you’re just walking through – it’s one of those narrow little side streets off the main drag but still close enough that you can hear the tram rattling by every now and then. The building itself is pretty unassuming from the outside, but once you step inside, there’s this lovely smell of homemade pastries that I’m pretty sure followed me around the whole time I was there.

The owner, Anna, met me at the door like we’d known each other for years – which, I mean, is exactly the vibe you want from a place like Cilantro. She gave me the quick tour and immediately I could tell this wasn’t your typical cookie-cutter B&B. The rooms are actually converted apartments, so mine had this cozy living area with a little kitchenette that I didn’t end up using, but it was nice to have the option. The bed was seriously comfortable, and I appreciated that the windows faced the courtyard rather than the street – way quieter, especially since there’s that little café on the corner that gets pretty lively in the evenings. You know what surprised me? The Wi-Fi actually worked properly, which sounds basic but half the places I stayed in Poland had internet that was more of a suggestion than an actual amenity.

What really sold me on Cilantro was how it felt like a local secret. Anna had this whole binder of recommendations for places that definitely weren’t in my guidebook – this amazing milk bar called Bar Pani Józefa that’s literally two blocks away, and she warned me about which restaurants close early on Sundays because “tourists always get caught by that.” The breakfast was simple but thoughtful – real Polish breakfast, not just whatever they think foreigners want to eat. I’m still thinking about that apricot jam. Check-in was smooth, though you do need to arrange times in advance since it’s such a small place. Parking’s tricky in that neighborhood, but Anna helped me find a garage a few streets over that wasn’t completely outrageous. Honestly, if you’re looking for somewhere with character that doesn’t feel like every other place you’ve stayed, this is it – just don’t expect anything fancy. It’s three stars, but it’s three very particular, very charming stars.

Apartments in Wroclaw provide travelers with authentic local experiences, allowing them to explore traditional Polish markets and cook with regional Silesian specialties.
