The long-stay hotel that my employer was originally going to put me up in for the first 30-days (while I look for an apartment) was fully booked for my arrival date. So for the first week or so, I'm staying at the IBB Andersia hotel. This is very nice because not only is the IBB a higher-quality hotel, it also happens to make my commute exceptionally short. The IBB Andersia occupies the first 10 floors of the Andersia tower. And my employers offices take up floors 13 through 18 of the same tower (My cubicle is on the 16th floor). This means my morning commute consists of going down the elevator to floor 0 (ground level), out the hotel door, about 40 feet to my right, in another door, and up the elevator to the 16th floor. If only things were always this easy.
Like most European hotels the bed feels like it is made out of plywood with a quarter-inch of cotton batting spread over it. And the pillows are the hardest I have ever found that aren't actually made of wood or rock. However, the IBB Andersia does have at least one quirk you might find interesting. From the picture below of my room (excuse the immediate clutter cause by just dumping my bag out), you would think that the Andersia is a basic "luxury" hotel.
And if you look out the window, there is a nice view to the old Stary Browar shopping center across the street. Stary Browar is an old coverted brewery that has won several shopping center awards.
But if you are feeling like a bit of an exhibitionist, this is the view of the hotel room, looking in from that nice big window overlooking the mall.
It's a beautiful bathroom. And you do have curtains on your room window and in the bathroom that you can close. But I do wonder just how many people don't bother with either? So if you want the chance to show any hidden exhibitionist tendencies you have, come to the IBB Andersia hotel in Poznan, Poland. =)
And before anyone asks, no I have absolutely NO exhibitionist tendencies and my curtains stay firmly closed!
