Finding accommodation in Warsaw was never an easy task in days gone by. There used to be only high-end hotels and some official hostels, but very little in between. There was also little choice if you were seeking smaller hotels with character and charm. Fortunately, the situation has improved rapidly in the last few years, and continues to do so. Prices are starting to creep up and many places seem overpriced for what they offer.
Where to stay
From deluxe five-star hotels to youth hostels, there is now a wide range to choose from. However, while there are many new places that have opened, it will be several years before there are enough hotels to meet the constantly growing visitor numbers. Hotels serving the top end of the market are generally good, partly due to the growing importance of Warsaw as a commercial centre.
Some of these upscale hotels are on a par with anything you will find in western Europe. Most of the international hotel chains are represented including Mariott, Sheraton, Novotel and Holiday Inn. If you are looking for the best that money can buy then the Bristol Hotel is in a class of its own. Considered to be one of the finest hotels in the world, it's a lesson in luxury and worth visiting even if you are not staying there.
In the past few years, a range of moderately-priced hotels have opened. Some of them have interesting historical backgrounds and notable architecture. Look out for the MDM Hotel, which has been extensively renovated and has a prime location in the downtown area.
For budget travellers, the standards can be more unpredictable, but there are some good-value options if you search carefully. Warsaw has always been able to offer summer student accommodation (Dom Studencki) at bargain prices. Many of the student dorms are slowly being renovated and the standards are becoming much more reasonable. There are also two youth hostels, which are open year-round. They don't offer the facilities of a good European hostel, but they provide tolerable budget accommodation for a stay of a day or two. Camping is available in the suburbs, but the site is a lengthy journey by public transport from the centre.
Booking a hotel
Advance booking is definitely recommended for all accommodation, especially during the summer months. If you arrive without a reservation, the tourist offices at the airport, train and bus stations will help arrange hotel and hostel rooms. Bear in mind that they often have long queues and the staff may not be well informed about the places they're recommending.
