Where do I sleep tonight?


There are a good selection of hotels, apartments and hostels in Warsaw, so after a hard day pounding the streets or a hard night trying to drink vodka, you can find somewhere to lay your head.

Expensive


High end hotels are actually relatively inexpensive compared to other parts of Europe but they still don't come cheap. Three of the best are The Marriot, The Intercontinental and The Bristol.

The Marriot was Warsaw's first sky scraper after being opened in the early 90's and is something of an institution in the city.It is also perfectly located next to the central train station. The intercontinental is one of the cities most stunning buildings and has a swimming pool on the top floor, which is offers beautiful views of the city from the comfort of the jacuzzi. The Bristol also comes highly recommended from those who have stayed there and is next to the Presidential Palace, just a few short steps from the Old Town.

Reasonably priced


There are two great places to stay if your looking at a fairly cheap price bracket. First of all, I couldn't recommend The Castle Inn more. This little hotel is situated in the castle square and has a number of individually designed rooms, each with a different theme. Check out the website and you'll see what I mean. http://castleinn.pl/?lang=en

Another great option are Old Town Apartments who offer acomodation in and around the most beautiful areas of the city. If your travelling in a group of four or more, this might be the best option, as the quality on offer is amazing when you consider the price you pay.

Cheap


Warsaw has a number of nice hostels for those who just seek a bed and somewhere to hang out. One great place is Oki Doki Hostel which is run by the same people as The Castle Inn, which means, individually designed rooms, amazingly friendly staff, good atmosphere and a cool bar. Strongly recommended for anyone who wants to meet  new people. For other cheap options check www.hostel-bookers.com
