Before your arrival to Poland

It is advisable, before your arrival to Poland, to check whether the inviting institution or company will provide you with accommodation. Many higher education institutions and research institutes have their own accommodation facilities for their staff. Some institutions have concluded contracts with hotels, and thus their visitors can benefit from various discounts. Information about accommodation arrangements can be obtained from the Department of International Co-operation of a given institution. When your prospective employer does not provide accommodation, then you might find the following information on the accommodation and housing system in Poland very useful.

Guest houses, guest rooms, hotels, apartments, hostels

Currently, Polish hotels sector is being developed intensively. At present in Poland you may find the global chain of very luxurious hotels (Marriott, Radisson SAS, Sheraton, Holiday Inn, etc.), tourist chain hotels (Ibis, Etap) as well as small private hotels.
