Accommodation
HOTELS: Most major international hotel chains are represented in Poland. International Student Hotels offer better facilities than youth hostels and are inexpensive, comfortable and pleasant. Grading: Hotels in Poland are graded in five categories: luxury, 4-star, 3-star, 2-star and 1-star. In addition there are tourist hotels, boarding houses and motels, each graded into three or four categories. For further information, contact the Polish Hotel Association, Ul. Nowogrodzka 44 m 2, 00-695 Warsaw (tel: (22) 622 6991-3; fax: (22) 622 6992).
GUEST-HOUSES: Three categories are available in all towns and run by regional tourist boards. Reservations can be made from local offices.
CAMPING/CARAVANNING: There are many campsites in Poland, nearly 75 per cent of which are fitted with 220-volt powerpoints and several with 24-volt points for caravans. Facilities also include washrooms, canteens and nearby restaurants and food kiosks. The main camping season is June to August. Holders of an international camping card (FICC) qualify for a ten per cent rebate on rates. Grading: There are two categories. Category I sites cover an area of 100 sq m (10,764 sq ft) and have 24-hour reception and lighting.
