Hotel Willa Park

This place is very much a mixed bag, so I will start with the positives. Location - for visiting Stalag Luft III, it's just about perfect and from the outside the hotel looks pretty grand. Cleanliness was okay, and although the bedding was old, it was fresh. Now for the bad. The rooms were cluttered with an unnecessary amount of old cupboards that take up too much room. The wiring was sub-par, with one of the sockets literally hanging off the wall. The bed was old and to get to the far side, you had to climb over the first person. The mix of styles in the hotel is frankly bizarre - a sort of Kontiki style bar with Egyptian decorative panels. Lilac walls, frilly curtains in the corridors and an odd stone cladding style in the breakfast room. The evening meal was acceptable, but I always suspect the worst when there are too many choices. It always suggests some items are frozen or not made freshly. I fear our fries were done in the oven. We were in Poland and Germany for 8 days and overall the food was fab. This particular day, our service-station lunch was better than the dinner we had here. The breakfast was about the worst I have ever had - scrambled eggs shouldn't be crunchy and bacon shouldn't be grey - if indeed it was bacon - it could have been old insoles. The bread was hard and stale, and the orange juice was some sort of cordial and water. The continental elements were marginally better, but not by much. But at least we had some choice, we sat down at 8.00am for a breakfast that ran from 7.00am to 9.00am. By 8.15am there were no eggs or sausages left and although people were coming in to eat and a member of staff came in to check quantities, she did not lift the lids of the hot food trays. If she had, she would have seen they were empty. Apart from the lady who served us dinner who was smily, the others looked miserable and barely engaged with us.

Great area in Zagan, good service and great staff. Additionally staff is accommodating and speaks English. Hotel is kept clean and in good condition. Hotel is located not too far from downtown Zagan. It is only a short walk. The restaurant in the hotel has really good food.
