Five Stars Bed&Breakfast

Five Stars Bed&Breakfast Overview

Five Stars Bed&Breakfast sits on Ruska 35, right in the heart of Stare Miasto, Wrocław. I was there last spring, after a day of wandering the cobbled lanes and popping into the unassuming Targowica Market. The building itself is a charming flat‑roofed brick duplex, a relic from the interwar period that still feels alive. When I pulled up the gate, the automatic door opened to a small vestibule lined with hand‑picked walnut wood paneling and a hand‑written welcome note that read, “Ciesz się pobytem!” The front desk was run by an elderly gentleman named Stanisław who, with a wink, offered a map marked with his personal favorites—like the hidden courtyard behind the old library and the best spot for sunrise over the Oder.

The rooms are modest but thoughtfully designed. The queen‑size bed is covered in a silky, locally woven linen that feels like a hug. There’s a tiny kitchenette with a kettle that’s perfect for a quick espresso, and the bathroom—yes, there’s a shower, not a bath—feels surprisingly spacious thanks to a glass partition that lets the light in. I’d say the noise level is decent; you can hear the distant hum of the tram line on 1st Street, but the walls are thick enough that the evening chatter from the street below doesn’t intrude. The AC is a bit weak on hot August afternoons, but there’s a fan and a nice window that lets you watch the city breathe. Privacy is great; the curtains are thick, and the door’s lock feels solid.

Parking is where it gets a bit tricky. There isn’t a dedicated lot, but the building’s alley has a handful of private spaces if you’re willing to negotiate with the residents. I ended up parking on the next block, about 100 meters away, which is a quick walk on a nice day. The staff told me the same thing: if you’re staying for a weekend, you can just take the bus to the city center—Route 9 stops right at the corner of Ruska and Wilińskiego, and it’s a 10‑minute ride. The check‑in was quick; a few minutes after my arrival, the front desk had my room ready and a stack of local flyers in the lobby. One flyer, “Stary Rynek – best pierogi spots,” made me laugh because it was a joke Stanisław always used to tease guests about.

If you’re a foodie, the breakfast is where the place really shines. It’s not like a fancy hotel buffet; it’s a spread of freshly baked rye bread, a selection of cheeses from the Kłodzko valley, and a pot of homemade mushroom soup that smells like a forest in the early morning. The highlight for me was the homemade compote, a secret recipe that Stanisław swears is passed down from his grandmother. Pair that with a steaming mug of strong Polish coffee, and you’ve got a breakfast that feels like a hug in a mug. The bar at the back of the hotel, called the “Bistro”, is a cozy corner with a small table by the window and a view of the market square. It’s the place to sit on a rainy afternoon and watch locals sip their tea while they talk about the latest football match—or the new art exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art.

I’ll be honest—there’s one thing that could use a touch of polish: the Wi‑Fi is a bit spotty, especially in the older parts of the building. I had to move closer to the kitchen to get a solid signal. But that’s a tiny price to pay for the hostel‑like community vibe that makes you feel like you’ve known the place forever.

Overall, I’d say is a gem for travelers who want to be in the thick of the old town, with easy access to local coffee shops, bakeries, and the bustling river promenade. The staff’s personal touches—like the map with insider tips—make it feel less like a hotel and more like a home where you can hear the city’s heartbeat. Whether you’re a solo backpacker, a couple on a romantic getaway, or a small family looking for a quiet spot to unwind, this place offers a genuine slice of Wrocław life, complete with the occasional quirks that add character rather than detract. In sum, if you’re looking for an authentic, heartfelt base in the heart of Stare Miasto, this is where you’ll want to stay—just bring a spare charger and a sense of adventure.
