Hotel Ambasada

We were so happy to find lodging in Boleslawiec, Poland, at the last minute and hadn't read anything about Villa Ambasada. Imagine our surprise when we found ourselves in one of the nicest hotels that we've stayed in during our time in Europe (6 months). While the section of town leaves something to be desired, the accommodations were very clean in what appears to be a newly refurbished home. We parked our car in the secure parking out back, I think that would be necessary. We stayed in the four person room for our family (2 adults and two young children) and had plenty of space as well as a bathroom in our room. There was a flat-screened TV (Polish channels only, but that's half the fun!) as well as a table and four beds. There is a bar/restaurant in the basement of the home which is decorated beautifully--I think the owner is a former actor and has a very keen eye for artwork. We ate dinner in the restaurant and couldn't have been happier--my husband had a traditional Polish meal, I had a cheese/salad plate and the children shared spaghetti. Our dinner was fantastic, the service superb and the atmosphere totally welcoming. At dinner, our waitress asked what time we'd like our breakfast in the morning. Breakfast... ahhhh breakfast! It was an unbelievable assortment of breads, meats, cheeses, mueslix, fruit, you name it! Truly a delight for the eyes as well as for the stomach. All was served on Boleslawiec Polish pottery (from Manufaktura) which just added to the ambience. We were so taken with this hotel that we wanted to write about it immediately. While the owner and staff speak broken English only, I believe they are all fluent in French and Polish. Even with our small language barrier, we were able to communicate easily. Our total bill including dinner (with drinks and desserts) was 395 zloty--about $150--unbelievable. Considering the area of town which Villa Ambasada was located, we truly considered it to be a "diamond in the rough."

Hotel Ambasada is a luxury Boutique Hotel, in my opinion this a unique place. Not only it offers all the comfort of a 4 star Hotel but the Hotel is very special in its beauty. I recommend this place as number 1 to stay. Breakfast was delicious buffert, parking and internet is free. Reception in open 24h. The Hotel is walking distance to the city square centre

Second time staying here and really enjoy it. The decor has a very personal touch, parking is free and convenient, restaurant food is outstanding, walking distance to Old Town and the staff are very friendly. Breakfast is ok, now I will say this if you stay on the weekend, they have a dance downstairs that is loud. My advice is to go join in and have fun.

Paulina Hotel is having weekend parties till 3am so avoid this hotel if you travelling and want to sleep. There is no information on the website and until after our pay and confirm, without option to opt out, they send you message saying they run a very loud party. Unfortunately cleanliness is weak as well - we got dirty towels in the bathroom. Breakfast takes place in the same dancing hall - whole floor was sticky from the night before and the alcohol smell was there still. Lastly - don’t lean on charging EV car there - the “charger” hotel is stating they have is just a 220v plug - not for charging a car for sure. Very disappointing experience

Short summary of one night family stay + free parking spot for hotel guests + clean and spacious rooms + sufficient number of power outlets + tasty breakfast + quick check in/out - not working TV in the room - strong ‘chemical’ air freshener scent in the room - very noisy disco in the hotel’s restaurant (every Fri & Sat night)
