I gave a lot of thought to where I would stay in Sopot, before opting for the Sheraton. It was an excellent choice, being very well located near everything I needed for my stay. The hotel itself is quite 'old school' in its rooms (e.g. retractable washing line across bath, actual telephone), reminding me very much of the sorts of places I stayed in the days when the pound was stronger and you could get more for your money across Europe. The room was large, with the promised partial view of the sea. It wasn't terribly well soundproofed, if I'm honest, but that was only a problem on bin day and I am sure that the other hotels on the seafront would've been impacted by the cacophony I heard happening outside. The lobby area was very nice indeed, as was the spa, hotel bar and restaurant. It really was a 5 star experience all the way, and the staff spoke very good English meaning that the lines of communication were very open!
Thank you everyone at the hotel for making my first trip to Poland such a comfortable one. I shall return to your beautiful country soon, I feel sure.
