ibis Warszawa Reduta, Varsovia

The part of Warsaw the hotel is in is a little sketchy (not in terms of safety as the whole city is safe but pretty drab). However, it is within a very short walk from the Warszawa Zachodnia (Warsaw West) station. The station is 12 minutes from the Chopin airport (buy the cheapest - 20 minute ticket from the machine at the airport station) and 2 suburban train stops from the Warsaw Central Station. The rooms are reasonably spacious and clean. There are a few restaurants and grocery stores around. Good value for the money.

The hotel is a typical European hotel for a short stay. I don't remember how other rooms look like at that hotel, however our room was really small. One could negotiate in it with some care. For sure, it was not designed for a longer stays, especially for people with several pieces of luggage. In our case, we needed to spend the last two days in Warszawa somewhere not too far from the airport. It was also important not to break a bank for the price. Amenities in ibis include breakfast buffet. That was a big plus, since the room didn't have a coffee machine. The buffet is good. You can find there a typical Continental breakfast items plus local Polish food like 'nalesniki' - crepes, 'szarlotka' - apple cake that was very tasty, cold cuts and fresh bakery goods. Overall, the hotel was ok. The service also was fine. They allowed us to do a late check-out, which helped to shorten our waiting time at the airport. Again, if one is staying in ibis for a short time, it might be good place to do that. For longer stay, it might be a bit iffy.

All is good but I forgot how small the rooms are and felt claustrophobic a bit too much.

The room was clean at all time, but they gave us a room for a wheelchair person, which has a toilet quite uncomfortable. We asked for another type of room, but it was not possible. The Breakfast is good, but they closed the kitchen really early at night. Closed by the downtown by bus.

I was only here one night and it was much nicer than I expected.
