This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Thanks Alby

It's a bit of a blow isn't it? However I expect it would be far more here in the UK or on your side of the pond in Canada.

Anyway, have a great trip and I hope you get the results you're after.

Will

Alby have a safe trip and i hope that my husband and me will see you in Katowice

looking forward to it, and check your pm inbox.

Ooh, we could have a party!! Or meet in a restaurant somewhere???

sounds good to me as long as gonna be easy for people on wheelchair.

claire,
you've got my info, i PMed you.

Hi there!

As a Qubus Hotel representative I can recommend not only our hotel rooms, but also a Sky Bar, located on the highest, 27th floor of the hotel. The place is avaible for oor guest - you will be able to enjoy a stunning panorama of Katowice from there.

I can tell you that some time ago our guest Phil Collins was impressed by the Sky Bar and Katowice's panorama.

Have a nice stay!

LOL Qubus Hotel!! What a shameless piece of marketing. Just guests, or guests of guests and can you get up there in a wheelchair??

Hi Claire its hanna where are you staying in Katowice

Claire, it's not that bad.

dear QUBUS hotel, with all due respect this forum is not an advertising avenue for anyone or anything, let people write about everything as they experience.
The best thing you can do is to offer 10% or 20% discount for people coming there because of their M.S., and let word of mouth get you the business.
I myself am staying there, but you are more on the expensive side, especially this time of year, I'm not sure if I did the right thing anymore. People stay in different places, mainly because of the cost, and sky bar or panorama as nice as they may be, are the last thing in their mind.

AND TO ALL MSers, if you have to tell each other where you're going to stay, only send PM. Let it be a fare competition for the hotels, otherwise, soon we will be flooded with all sorts of ads.

Dear forum members

Im sorry if you received my post as a shameless piece of marketing. I've simply read about the idea of your meeting in Katowice and I thought the Sky Bar may be the right place.

If you have any question about the hotel - let me know.
Once more: sorry and regards.

Hi Qubus Hotel

From a personal perspective I took no offence from your post but viewed it merely as welcoming and informative. Several posters on this forum have stayed at the Qubus and because they spoke well of the experience, others - including myself, have booked in the coming weeks.

I think that many of us just feel a little unsettled because of recent changes in the administration procedures relating to the treatment. Please don't take offense because I'm sure that none was meant. I am sure that you will appreciate the fact that our trip to Poland is for medical reasons rather than the more normal sightseeing issues associated with tourists. Having said that we will obviously try to enjoy our trip as much as we can.
