It was a quick walk to the Central Station from our hotel, four blocks at the most. That took a…read morewhile as we continued to sight see the whole walk there. We already had our tickets so we just had to make our way down to the train tracks. This station was like any other big city train station with lots of food and beverage vendors and lot and lots of activity. We found our track number and started working our way down. Cleary, and easy journey. Once we got to our platform we needed to find the spot to stand at. That was a bit more of a challenge as we did not clearly understand the signs. As things go, we figured it out, the train came and we boarded, stowed our luggage and prepared for the ride to Krakow. All in all, a decent experience.

Central station is the hub for train travel in Warsaw. The ticket counters are easy to use and…read morestaff are communicative, but be prepared with a translator app just in case, if you do not speak Polish, since you may have questions. There are many shops (coffee, drugstore, convenience stores, etc) and the station is also connected with the mall. Remember to bring some coins with you when you travel in case you will need to use the restroom (3 zl). The restroom is very clean and well-serviced. The station is located right in the heart of downtown (Śródmieście) so connections to everywhere else or your hotel is easy. The tram, buses, and metro are all within a few minutes' walk (and you can purchase tickets directly onboard the buses and tram).

Warszawa, Poland. Modern. As good as it gets. Staff are polite if a bit restrained, it's a French…read moreestablishment oui oui :). Polish people are reserved anyway so its a good vibe here not uppity like most high end Sofitel products. First the rooms are comfy modern , clean and love the soft pillows. Ask for rooms with a view of the square if available. The brunch layout is very good. There's sooo many options when you just walk out for a few minutes and it would benefit your visit if you ventured out sometimes. Once staff here figured out Im not obnoxious (as I'm told many Americans visitors here can be) staff warmed up. Then theres the pool and massage services. Its a warm 85 degree pool, not chlorinated offensively. After a sauna and massage I was set for the night. The small gym and dry sauna are open 24x7, are adequate and good. Love the attentive service and vibe. End of Yelp.

I really, really want to give the Sofitel Warszaswa Victoria Five Stars. It's modern, well…read moreappointed and first class in sooo many ways, but... We asked for and checked into a smoke-free room. I have never begrudge smokers a place to enjoy their habit. My parents were three packers each. But I have "asthmatic allergies" and find I eventually cannot breathe in their presence. After dinner and getting into bed, I started coughing. Didn't think of anything at the time. But after hitting my pillow, I knew the previous guest, or guests were smokers. My wife offered her pillow and I put a moist towel from the bathroom on top of it and suffered throughout the night (after taking a Claritin). I spoke to the Front Desk and they offered us both new pillows and a room change. They were great and very understanding. Five Stars in fact.

Alicia and Jedrzej were extremely welcoming to us. We very much enjoyed visiting here. I would…read morehighly recommend it.

Oki Doki Hostel is located in the heart of Warsaw. You are close to the Old Town Square and are…read moreclose to several restaurants and shops. The minute I saw a sign for AIR-CONDITIONING UPGRADE, I immediately signed up for it. When you stay in Europe during the summer, you'll understand. This hostel is very chill, they have planned activities, but aren't pushy. My room was clean and I stayed in a mixed room with 7 other people. I wish there was more space and amenities, but when you are paying dirt cheap, you can't complain.
