Szczecin Hotels with Balcony

Good, good value for money

We arrived five minutes early 11:55 from Copenhagen at SZZ (Goleniów Lotnisko), which was fine as the transfer we booked would leave 12:20. It had seemed very short connection time when I booked and paid our seats with Follow Me - Interglobus. I shouldn’t have worried because we brought only hand luggage and the plane parked close up to a small airport building. We just walked into the building and in the end we found the waiting taxi bus 12:10. The transfer took us to Szczecin Central train station and the bus stop for Follow Me and Flixbus along the street ul. Kolumna. We just had to back track 300m to find the main entrance to the train station and the stops for both trams and local buses. I cannot tell you how to get tickets to trams and local buses as we could travel for free with our ID as both of us were over 70 years of age. We took tram 3 but realised later that we would have come closer to the hotel by taking three stops in bus 75 to Plac Zwyciestwa. (There is a church across the street where you get off and the bus stop for the return journey with bus 75 to the central station is on the other side of the church by the petrol station. The last stop is by the central station entrance but get out straight away before the bus starts picking up passengers for the journey back. ) Walk in the direction of the disappearing bus, pass two side streets and walk slightly right into the third street aleja Wojska Polskiego. Look for the triangular planting separating the different directions of the street. Walk up to the pedestrian crossing, and cross over and turn right and you should by Café Koch, walk on and turn left into a short alley and City Aparthotel reception is right in front of you. (Beware the little alley won’t appear on most smart phones as it isn’t a proper street and the phone might take you a round about way to the hotel.) City Aparthotel asks for a deposit of 30% when you make the booking. When arriving we paid the rest and added breakfast to the sum. The reception is open 8:00 – 20:00 hours. The hotel does not have its own breakfast room so breakfast is served 7:30-11:00 in Café Koch a hundred meters away. Breakfast is quite substancial with coffe, tea, juice, milk, cornflakes, fresh fruit, fruit shots, cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, ham, chorizo, sliced bread, breakfast buns, cheese, cottage cheese, egg halves and more. The hot stuff is scrambled eggs and sausages. My sister and I had booked an apartment with two bedrooms and a living room. We were really pleased when we entered the combined hallway and kitchenette. It was very well kept, looked new and the location kept traffic noice away. The bathroom with shower was of a good size. The provided fan was in good use during the hot days when we stayed there. The free Wi-Fi with a proper password and not open to the neighbourhood worked wonders. The entrance to the building has no steps and there is a lift serving all floors. I ckecked in our
