Pałac Czarny Las

Looked very nice on website, but in reality it is a nicely renovated but boring place in the middle of nowhere. For sure not a 4 star hotel. No hotel bar, no real spa, restaurant opened until 21.00. Very poor breakfast. Rooms are very stylish and charming but also very dark and small.The single beds are extremely hard and small. Staff was helpful and friendly.

There is much to like about this hotel, much that is superb. The restaurant makes very good food, top notch, with great service. A little pricey, portion size can be on the smaller side, but the food is first class. Right now, though, what sticks out is what is frustrating about the experience. The WiFi is bad. It is unreliable, it fails, it is unavailable it is often useless, and being in the countryside, mobile internet from your phone is not good either. They need to sort out their WiFi. I took a star for that. Given the ambience and style, the lack of shampoo / shower gel, slippers, and bath robes is noticed. Other palace hotels we've visited had those. It adds a sense of cheapness to an otherwise superb place. It is disappointing. We stayed in a cottage across from the main building, which has plenty of parking, easy access and is roomy. Also, the wine bar shown on the web site and the wine bar when we visited were anything but the same. One does expect the pictures to match the place and description. It was just a room with empty shelves with no wine anywhere.

It's a hotel where you can really rest and disconnect (although Wi-Fi works perfectly). It has a large pond and a park to take walks. The service is excellent, they responded to any quieries we had. But the best was the restaurant, with a wide choice of wines and very tasty dishes. And you have a view on the pond and the garden while dining. Very cute and romantic hotel!
