What guests report

View

9th floor and above offer excellent Vistula River and Palace of Culture views; lower courtyard-facing rooms are very dark with minimal natural light

Bed & mattress

Large, comfortable beds with high-quality silk sheets and premium linens; some guests note beds are slightly firm; excellent mattresses praised by frequent sleepers

Bathroom & water

Marble-clad bathrooms with heated floors, standing bathtubs, quality fixtures; weak water pressure reported in some rooms; shower head sprays jets in random directions in some units

Wi-Fi

Guests report connectivity issues and unreliable internet in some reviews; one review mentions internet went down for entire day

Breakfast

Fresh, varied, beautifully presented when buffet-style; à la carte system causes 15-40 minute waits for hot dishes; limited warm options; good coffee quality but dependent on barista service

AC / heating

Air conditioning unreliable in many rooms; frequently broken or only working sporadically; rooms reported as too cold/dry at night or too warm without working AC

Elevator

Unreliable

Local knowledge

Request a room away from the main street (Chmielna side) to avoid traffic and street racing noise that continues late into the night.

The spa operates 24/7, making it perfect for jet-lagged business travelers or insomniacs seeking a midnight swim or sauna session.

Breakfast is offered à la carte with ~15 minute waits for hot dishes; go early (7am sharp) to avoid crowds and long kitchen waits.
