Though I've done a lot of traveling, I have to admit I made a huge mistake booking this hotel. Though the Hotel overall experience was quite good (rooms, breakfast, staff...) and it seemed to be the "congress inn" place (there were at least three or four during my 3 night stay), the location is quite inconvenient. It's about 18-20 kms (12-13 miles) from the city and a cab ride is about 45 U$ from downtown! Just too expensive!
I decided to try public transportation, which by train was cheap (U$2.50/each way) and just about 25 minutes from the CENTRUM station (downtown). On my way into town I only waited about 15 minutes (morning), but when I came back, I had to wait around 50-60 minutes for my train to get back there, needless to say it was quite confusing to find the platform itself... (90 minute overall experience). It's only four blocks from the hotel. It was fine, but not worth it!
If you're driving, stay there!!! If not, well... good luck with the cab overspending or with the extra time spent in trains (or buses, even worse!)
By the way, Warsaw it's really worth visiting!
