When is a bedroom not a bedroom? When it doesn't have any beds.

This cheap hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the main town square and is in a nice area. The reception is on the first floor and gives a jaded first impression. The staff are ok, you must ask for the price of the room, this seems to be a secret only given away under pressure. It is cheaper on the weekends - about £20 a room without breakfast.

We had phoned up and booked a double room. What we got was something "different". From the main door there is a small room with a small bathroom with shower leading off it. On through another door is a larger room with a table, two chairs and two sofas. After much investigation we realised that the sofas fold out for you to sleep on the back rest or seating part of the sofa. Underneath this was a pile of sheets, blankets, duvet etc.

Arriving back in reception I enquired as to why we didn't have a double bed or even a couple of beds. The receptionist was astonished! Why do we want beds when we can sleep on the couch?! She told me they only have one double room in the hotel and that was taken and that all the other rooms were like ours. She was very confused as to why we were questioning the accommodation. There are plenty of sheets underneath, she said. We have to make the bed up ourselves? I responded. Of course! Came the reply with another look of astonishment.

We decided to stay, more through tiredness than anything else. At least it seemed clean - although the rooms weren't touched after we arrived.

Wroclaw is lovely. Pay the extra and stay somewhere else, most hotels seemed fairly central, particularly the Art Hotel.
