Riverside Retreat on Parkowa

Riverside Retreat on Parkowa Overview

Riverside Retreat on Parkowa sits just a stone’s throw from the market square, tucked between the old brick bakery on Głogowska and the new art gallery that opened last spring. Walking out of the front door, the scent of freshly brewed espresso from the café on 5th Street mingles with the faint citrus of the flower stalls on the nearby square. I remember the first time I checked in, the front desk clerk greeted me with a warm, almost conspiratorial, smile and handed me a key card that felt oddly heavy in my palm—like a promise. The reception area is surprisingly spacious for a four‑star spot; you can actually sit on a plush sofa and sip a latte from the minibar while you wait for your room key. The staff were quick on the draw, and they even recommended a secret tram stop that takes you directly to the university’s botanical gardens—no more wandering through congested streets.

The rooms themselves are a mix of modern minimalism and cozy Polish charm. The décor is understated, with linen curtains and a small brass lamp that flickers softly in the evenings. I found the bed to be a solid, supportive mattress that didn’t leave me with a sore back, and the ensuite bathroom is surprisingly spacious—there’s a rain shower that actually feels like a spa in your own private space. The windows face the river, and at sunset, the water turns a molten gold that you can watch from the comfort of your room or from the balcony if you’re lucky enough to get one. Honestly, the noise from the street is minimal; the only sounds you catch are the distant chatter of tourists and the occasional honk from a passing taxi—perfect for a peaceful night’s rest. On the flip side, the kitchen area is a bit cramped, and the minibar’s selection of drinks is more limited than I’d hoped, but that’s a minor gripe you can easily overlook.

When it comes to amenities, the hotel offers a surprisingly comprehensive package for its price class. The on‑site gym is well-equipped, with a few free weights and a treadmill that runs smoothly. The sauna is a highlight—Steam, the local sauna brand, has installed a small but effective infrared unit that you can use after a long day of sightseeing. If you’re a foodie, you’ll love the breakfast buffet that opens its doors at 6:30 a.m.; the freshly baked rye bread and the creamy pierogi are a must‑try. The hotel also provides free Wi‑Fi, but the signal can drop during rush hour—so if you’re working, grab a coffee at the café on 5th Street instead. Parking is a plus; there’s a covered lot right next to the building, and you only pay a modest fee. Overall, feels like a home away from home, with a few quirks that add to its charm rather than detract from it. My stay was memorable, and I can’t wait to recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxed yet vibrant spot in Wrocław.

• Beata from Poland (9/10)

  Apartament ma bardzo fajny klimat. Dużym plusem jest bogate wyposażenie kuchni w naczynia. Można spokojnie puścić zmywarkę po całym dniu, a nie szorować talerzyki po każdym użyciu.

• Michał from Poland (9/10)

  Bardzo ciekawie zaaranżowane mieszkanie – ma charakter przechodni, można po nim chodzić w kółko (przechodząc przez łazienkę :-)). Do tego pianino i stare, ale dobrze zachowane meble wymieszane z nowym wyposażeniem. Bardzo przestronnie, jasno, wygodne łóżka i wielka sofa. Miejsce z charakterem. Dojazd do ścisłego centrum bardzo łatwy – tramwajem kwadrans, a przystanek zaraz obok. Spacerem można w 15 minut dojść do Hali Stulecia i Zoo.
