Betmanowska Main Square Residence Adults Only

Betmanowska Main Square Residence Adults Only

10/10 Excellent
"I could not believe how quiet this hotel was! Main Square is full of activity, but when you get to your room, you can’t hear any of the noise! The bed was super comfortable, the room was beautiful and clean, and the service was above and beyond all expectations! Free breakfast was excellent and saved us so much! The staff really goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. I look forward to returning here again someday."
