Rabien Holidays from £284

Excellent location in Nowy Swiat, a very lively area full of bars and restaurants. Luckily our room was quiet, being at the back, and double glazed. Rooms and public areas nicely decorated, good breakfast buffet. Staff were great, especially Oleksandra, who could not have been more helpful. Only negative was the air conditioning - there is no independent control in the room, so you have to call reception to turn it on or off, which is ridiculous.

Quality of the apartments was decent. We booked several apartments for a family trip. Unfortunately we had units on various floors, this was an issue because you can only go to the floor of your own apartment (key fob needed for elevator only allows you to your floor).

I booked this apartment for our family of four. The listing was for a 2 bed apartment, although it seems to have been clarified a little, but it only has one bedroom. There is a good sized double sofa bed in the lounge, but that is the ONLY seating there. We had to make up the sofa bed on arrival. Putting the bed back to a sofa and getting the cover on wasn't the easiest job, and it wouldn't have seated us all in comfort anyway. There was a huge coffee table and the space would have been better used by a couple of easy chairs. The 'separate dining area' can only have been the table and chairs in the kitchen. The apartment was very clean and in good condition. The bed and sofa bed were comfortable. The shower was brilliant; lots of hot water and powerful jets. There was lots of storage space. There was a full size cooker, kettle and coffee maker, but I would ideally liked to have a microwave also. The apartment was central. We could walk nearly everywhere we wanted to go. The downside was that it was very noisy. The front was on a busy main road with constant traffic noise and frequent sirens. The apartment was hot, but we couldn't have windows open. There was building work going on nearby with loud banging until 8pm. It wasn't too much of a problem for us as we were normally out, but it would have been when the children were younger. The address of the apartment caused problems for our taxi transfer as there were 2 numbers. 42 is the block number and 134 is the apartment.

It was a little challenging to find and access the place, initially. Really good value for the price and local restaurants were a big plus. Highly recommend.

Perfect hotel for a short stay in the city. Tasty breakfast and the most comfortable of beds. Bathroom and spa were stunning too
