Zgierz Holidays from £221

We stayed here overnight on a 23 hour layover through Warsaw on LOT Polish Airlines, but I would have preferred two nights. It is a charming place, with lots of character, including period furnishings from I believe the first half of the 20th century. Our room, with its small attached sitting area, helped me imagine for a moment that I was living in pre-War Poland. Breakfast was delicious and well-rounded, and we enjoyed it among greenery and flowers on the patio. There were many hearty options, as well as sweet choices, vegetables, and fruits. Cappuccinos were included – or whatever coffee of choice. It seemed like they took a lot of pride in the quality of everything they served, despite it being a “free hotel breakfast.” For example, they offered their own honey as a condiment, harvested just two weeks before our arrival. And when we checked out they gave us a small jar of it. They were kind enough to hold our bags securely while we walked to Old Town Warsaw for the day. We had a delightful time exploring the restored Old Town area, ordering coffees and pastries and pierogies, buying Polish pottery, visiting the Cold War Museum, working on perfecting our pronunciation of the words for “thank you” and for the Polish currency. (But don’t ask me to spell them!) If you are coming from the airport, I recommend waiting in the Uber line, not the taxi line. I’m pretty sure we were overcharged in our taxi, despite it being the amount on the meter.

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).

Great place. Staff was great.

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.

Great boutique hotel conveniently located about 15 mins walk to old town and easy access to a lot of food options. Great service by hotel staffs. Clean rooms. Am def recommending 👍

The only draw back when ordering a Uber is that the addresses are not really recognized by the drivers. They just drive around, and not all of them have the Uber sign on the roof, some only have the Warsaw taxi logo on the door. Makes confusing for travellers like me. But I will say that they are very nice and polite. All and all great place to stay and lots to see
