I could suggest this hotel...

Liked: Generally good hotel, i accommodate here very often
Disliked: This time The given room has terrible bed which supposed to be big but clearly 2 small beds was merged and there was gap between them and the mattress obviously out of its time, you cant sleep at all, definitely must be changed . It caused Totally sleepless night with back pain

Hotel with paper thin walls...

Liked: The hotel is nearby the city of Katowice, and it's easy to get transport to and from the hotel. The hotel is clean, neat and there is no other filth like bad smell.
Disliked: First problem is the interior of the hotel rooms. The whole concept of the hotel is the "old style" of furniture and design. Unfortunately that includes the ergonomics of the bed, which is more built for a medieval peasant than for the modern society. It had one of the thinnest mattresses I have ever slept on and with only one small pillow. If you didn't have a bad back before coming to this hotel you are guaranteed to have it after a couple of days of stay.The walls are also paper thin. If your neighbor is having a conversation with his wife or in my case a room party at 04:00 in the morning you will experience the sound like you are in the same room. You will basically hear everything that is happening around you, so be prepared — unfortunately I was not prepared.The cleaning lady will knock on your door 09:30 in the morning, even on Saturdays. I know it was my fault for not putting the Do Not Disturb- sign up. But it has never happened to me on all other hotels that the cleaning will start so early in the morning, and that they will forcefully knock on the door, so you feel like you are a landless serf who needs to go out to the field to work.So after you had a couple of hours of bad sleep you can visit the hotels' spa, bath and sauna facilities. They are surprisingly good for the size of the hotel, but like everything with this hotel there is a catch. The facility is also open for everybody and not only hotel guests, which makes your experience like a visit to the public bathhouse. The saunas and jacuzzi are always full of people and there are swimmers doing laps in the small pool. The tiny changing room were full of men and women. Good thing you can at least walk to your hotel room in your wet swimming trousers to change and shower.This was not a good hotel experience for me or my friends. One of my friends even got an angry call to his hotel room that he needed to check out immediately.

Very good

Liked: Excellent breakfast, very close to both a tram stop and the Silesian Stadium (Stadion Śląski). Nice spacey rooms with large bed.
Disliked: The shower head was minuscule and mounted not high enough for me to use it comfortably (I'm 192cm). The double bed was actually 2 single beds put together and the mattress was not thick enough to not feel the hard wooden frame in the middle when you roll over in the middle of the night.
