Hotel Bristol Warsaw Poland
For almost 120 years this stunning hotel on the celebrated Royal Route, next to the Presidential Palace and just a short stroll from the Old Town, Royal Castle, National Theatre and Opera House, has graced Warsaw with its presence.
I stayed here as part of a challenge with my wife. My middle son of three was approaching 1 year old and it was suggested it would be extremely difficult to travel with a child of that age, let alone for 3 or 4 days as a lone parent. Warsaw here I come….
I looked at options through various websites and decided I would stay somewhere a little more upmarket for me, given I was travelling with a 1 year old and if things did go wrong, help would be more readily available at a better hotel. I booked my flight and hotel deal through Expedia and when I came to pay the great value add on’s appeared.
Would you like a limo from the airport (for less than the cost of a taxi as I had been to Warsaw before), absolutely.
Would you like breakfast included for an extra few pounds, why not…
Would you like a room upgrade, again a few pounds for a superior room or a little more extra for a top floor suite, yes of course.
So for an extra £60 on an already good deal, I ended up with a limo (nice Mercedes) to and from the airport, a huge buffet breakfast (including all the nice things one would expect at a 5 star hotel, champagne, salmon, off the bone ham, omelette chef etc) on all 3 days and an upgrade to a top floor suite. On arrival and speaking to other guests it turned out I had paid less for my deal than others had paid for a basic room, good old Expedia.
The hotel was great, fabulous service, a really nice bar for the late evening nightcap when baby Josh was asleep in his pushchair, I loved the old McLaren pushchairs which folded back flat when baby falls asleep. The room was very nice especially the journey to the top floor in the “crystal lift”. Being a jeans and tee shirt type rather than a suit type of guy, I received some strange looks off other guests when asked what floor I wanted, top floor please. There were on or two wife’s or partners who gave the other half that, “you never take me too a penthouse suite” look. My wife asked that very same question when she saw my trip itinerary before I left.
A fabulous hotel in a great location, I have been back since but not in a suite….
