Holiday Inn – Warsaw City Centre by IHG

Hotel Description

You know what surprised me about the Holiday Inn in Warsaw’s city centre? It actually feels like they put real thought into this place instead of just slapping together another cookie-cutter chain hotel. I mean, sure, it’s “only” a 3-star property, but honestly – with a 9.2 rating, they’re clearly doing something right that a lot of fancier places miss.

The location is pretty solid – you’re right in the thick of things without being on one of those crazy busy streets where trams are clattering by at 6 AM. I could walk to the Old Town in about fifteen minutes, maybe twenty if I stopped for coffee (which, let’s be real, always happened). The front desk staff actually knew stuff about the neighborhood too, not just the usual “tourist trap restaurant” recommendations. One guy told me about this little pierogi place around the corner that I never would’ve found otherwise. Check-in was smooth – none of that “your room isn’t ready even though it’s 4 PM” nonsense that seems to plague half the hotels in Europe these days.

What really got me though was how they handled the small stuff. The rooms aren’t huge, but they’re laid out smart – like, you can actually open your suitcase without having to climb over it to get to the bathroom. The beds are properly comfortable (I’m picky about this), and the blackout curtains actually work, which is a godsend when you’re dealing with jet lag and those ridiculously long summer days in Poland. The WiFi doesn’t cut out every five minutes either, which sounds basic but you’d be amazed how many places screw this up. There’s this little business center area that’s quiet enough to actually get work done if you need to, and the breakfast – well, it’s not going to change your life, but it’s solid and they keep it stocked even during the late morning rush. I stayed there during a pretty busy conference week in September, and while the lobby got a bit hectic around check-out time, it never felt chaotic or understaffed. The elevator situation could be better (there were definitely some wait times), but honestly, for the price point and that location, it’s hard to complain too much. If you want something reliable in the heart of Warsaw without paying those premium hotel prices, this place just works.

  Very comfortable hotel with very good breakfast. Could check in already quite early in the morning, also had later check-out! Super nice staff! Had very relaxing time overall. Stayed on the 8th floor and it was very quiet. Would stay again!

  Location location location. The hotel is close to the central station, close to supermarkets, close to traditional milk bars. The room is very clean, the heated floor in the bathroom is great, and of course the lovely stuff.
