We jsut finished a three night stay in Warsaw on our way to Moscow and could not have asked for a better place to enjoy the city at a reasonable price. The room and bath were clean! The location was easy walking to Old Town, museums, parks, shopping, and the Water Palace. We like to walk, but Warsaw Central is only two blocks away. Taxi from airport was 50 pln (late night rate) and 40 pln during the day. Hotel is directly across from Novatel and Culture Palace. Breakfast is phenomenal. Lots of very good street food in the area-kebabs or pizza open past midnight. The many nearby parks are beautiful places to stroll. The noise is there, but hey, you are in the middle of the city! The shopping mall next to stattion is unique, modern, and a fun place to visit. Definitely a city and hotel worth another trip.

When I booked this hotel for a bargain price for 2 nights, I fully expected to get what I paid for - actually so much better than that. OK, the rooms are a tad small but big enough for a couple of nights. The full length opening window was an absolute bonus on a very hot weekend and the bed was comfy and clean. The included breakfast was the best I have had on trips to Poland. Plenty of continental style options and a typical Polish stew which other half loved! Location is very central and therefore pretty noisy till late at night - lots of Vodka helped with sleeping tho!! However we loved looking out the window at the busy roundabout downstairs - watching the sun go down and the city lights coming on.
Reception staff helpful with giving us info on getting the train to a town 100K away for a wedding. Couple of decent bars nearby, 24hr deli and 24 hr kebab shop.
Walk to the old town took around 20-30 minutes stroll.
We only had a day and a half but managed to fit in Uprising museum, old town, gestapo headquarters and walked for about 15km just looking at parks and buildings. Managed to find the remaining piece of ghetto wall (not as hard as I thought), and also the 2 remaining tenemant buildings from the ghetto which look like they may be made into a museum at some point.
All in all, a great budget-mid price hotel which gave us everything we needed (and a little bit more by way of fantasic late summer weather!). Would definitely use again - we shall return to Warsaw as still so many things to see. Our Polish friends were amazed at all the things we had found to do....

I chose the Metropol because of its proximity to the railway station,it was only for one night as I had a conecting rail journey next morning,I had advised the hotel that I would be arriving late,( 10-45pm) this was fine with them, on my arrival I was shown to a very nice room with fantastic views of the city at night,the problem arose when I tried to get something to eat, i was told that room service was closed but i could get a coffee from the vending machine, I was told that i could walk to a take away around the corner if i was hungry,i left the hotel and was accosted by a "lady" who offered more than food !!.I retreated and went to bed.Lovely Hotel just needs to try a little harder.

The location of the hotel is just amazing... we took a tram from the Warsaw central station and were surprised to get off at the very next stop which was just about 400metres away.... the hotel is located right outside the tramstop and the metro stations... actually the Metro of Warsaw Central is outside this hotel...

There are lot of shopping malls near the hotel.

The Breakfast buffet is very good although at that price it had to be...The room was not bad. Very clean and maintained.

The restaurant downstairs has live jazz on some evenings..check with the hotel and it was a real treat. They were just amazing.. the food in the restaurant is not bad either.

The bed was too small for two people. Otherwise there is nothing to complain about.
