While the staff were exceptionally friendly and the rooms clean and spacious, I encountered several issues like poor wifi and some maintenance problems that detracted from my experience.

During my stay at Hotel Sympozjum & Spa, I had a mix of experiences. The staff were notably friendly and the rooms were clean, but the breakfast left much to be desired.
