POL: Metropol Hotel

Marszalkowska 99A, Warsaw, Poland

Welcome to the capital city of Poland! My BFF and I were looking for a hotel with easy access to go to Warsaw Chopin Airport as we'd eventually be leaving the country early in the morning. Metropol Hotel (3*) was our choice, which has stood the test of time since 1965.

At Warszawa Lotnisko Chopina railway station, each of us purchased a 24-hour public transport ticket from one of the ticketing machines. One ticket costs 15.00 zł (~S$5.50).

We took a train to Warszawa Srodmiescie railway station. 

Don't forget to validate your ticket by inserting it into one of the yellow-coloured machines.

It wasn't too long a walk to reach the 8-storey hotel building.

The standard check-in time is at 2.00pm, but since our room was ready at 11.30am, we were allowed to check-in earlier without additional charge.

Expect a jazz performance at Metro Jazz Bar & Bistro every Tuesday and Thursday.

We went up to the second floor.

When doing the booking online, I didn't notice that the standard rooms have got no air-conditioning. However, the room didn't feel stuffy.

The glass bottles are refilled with soda water daily.

All I needed was a refreshing cold shower after I was done taking photos of the room. I certainly enjoyed the powerful shower.

There's a very small balcony attached to the room.

Buffet breakfast is served daily at the restaurant located on the ground floor. Find out more about the spread here.

The colourful chairs make the dining area vibrant.

Are you a lover of cold cuts?

To aid digestion when travelling, I usually take some yogurt at breakfast.

Take note that there's neither a swimming pool nor a gym at the hotel.
