I keep finding a list of the same hotels over and over no matter which website I have tried, including Polish websites as well.

If we take a taxi, about how much will it cost? Lastly, can you recommend any good restuarants / friendly bars near the hotel? Many thanks Martiman

Hi there! I'm about to book a room for 3 nights at the Sofitel Wroclaw in January but am having some difficulty understanding the rates! I’m trying to book through the official site – accorhotels.com/accorhotels/... Basically it is giving me 3 options - Early Rate - available until D-15, CC prepaid no refund, modification fee Smart Rate - available and flexible until 3 days before arrival Premium Rate - fully flexible Which one am I to book? I obviously want to go for the Early Rate as it is cheaper. Does it mean the amount has to paid in full 15 days before arrival to benefit from the discounted rate? I'm very confused! Any help will be appreciated!!!

I have clients wanting to travel from Wroclaw to Liberec in the Czech Republic. I have found the train timetable, but it involves two changes in Gorlitz and Zittau. Looking at a road atlas, it appears that there is a fairly direct road connection between the two points, via Jelenia Gora. Can anyone tell me if there is a bus service on this route, or else if it would be feasible and not horrendously expensive to hire a car and driver (not a rental car). And also if possible, how long the journey would take. Many thanks in advance.
