Novotels in large cities are often skyscrapers, however here the hotel has only 3 floors in order to fit into the surrounding landscape. There are also other reasons why this Novotel is "truly Masurian" - it is located among forests on the Ukiel Lake. Several dozen steps separate us from a beach, there are quite a few beautiful walking paths around and it's possible to take a boat ride or a bicycle trip around the area. After excursions, when we become hungry, a rich menu awaits us in the restaurant and there's also a summer grill bar and a terrace where we can have some coffee after dinner.
As usual in Novotels, quite a strong emphasis is placed on ensuring a comfortable stay for entire families thanks to offering a special children's menu, playground and special discounts.
Businesspeople traveling by car will appreciate good access from the direction of the road to Gdansk and Torun, as well as comfortable rooms equipped with long desks.
Rooms
Nearly 100 rooms offered by the Novotel are up to the chain's good standards. The rooms are doubles, similarly furnished, modern and well maintained. They are also quite spacious and the hotel's location ensures quietness and a view full of greenery from the windows.
Standard equipment of the rooms include TV Sat, radio and telephone. As far as the internet access is concerned, in some rooms we can enjoy wireless connection; other ones are only equipped with a modem.
The Novotel has one room for disabled guests. There's no problem with reaching upper floors thanks to a lift.
Nearly half of the rooms are for non-smoking guests.
Restaurant
The restaurant, as usual in Novotels, is called "The Garden Brasserie" and offers meals of Polish and European cuisine. On a warm day, we can have our meal on the terrace and let the fresh air whet our appetite even more.
If we don't feel like leaving our room, we can have our meal delivered thanks to room service, which is available until 9:30 PM.
In the summer nothing beats grilled sausage and beer. At the Novotel this is within a hand's reach thanks to a garden grill.
Conference rooms
The hotel offers two smaller meeting facilities - Business Rooms - and 3 larger, typical conference rooms. Thanks to the possibility of connecting them, we can have a 250-square meter room with the capacity to hold 180 people. All conference rooms are equipped with modern audiovisual and sound gear (overhead and transparency projectors, digital video projector, wireless microphones, flipcharts and CD players) as well as air-conditioning.
Additional Services
Wireless internet is free of charge and available in public areas of the hotel.
We can leave a car in the hotel's car park. However, we must be prepared to pay a low fee of 20 PLN for 24 hours.
The fee for a pet is also 20 PLN per day.
We won't have to worry about the cleanliness of our wardrobe. The hotel offers laundry service and we can pick up clean clothes the same day.
Families with children will have plenty to do here. Not only there's a lake near the hotel, but also a specially prepared playground and a summer grill.
Fans of fishing and those who like to spend time actively on the water will also have plenty to do here.
