Hotels near Szczecin-Goleniów "Solidarność" Airport

The name is misleading: the airport is not in Szczecin but in Goleniów, about 45 km north-east of the city, and in Goleniów itself there is no hotel of a standard useful to those arriving by plane. The only realistic option remains Szczecin, linked by a direct Szczecin Główny-airport train in about 40 minutes, by bus (lines 107 and 124 or coaches like Flixbus) in around 40-50 minutes, or by a taxi that costs like a longer-than-expected ride. Those with a dawn flight or a short layover therefore have to reckon with almost an hour of transfer in any case: there's no way to shorten it by staying closer to the terminal.

Pros

The direct train from the central station avoids depending on traffic on the road to Goleniów
Szczecin's most recent chain hotels are concentrated in the centre, a few steps from the station and from Brama Portowa

The train and buses to the airport aren't very frequent: it's worth checking the timetables before booking an early morning flight
