Reviews from Google“My stay at Hotel Bristol, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Warsaw was absolutely extraordinary and one of the most elegant hotel experiences I have ever had. From the moment I arrived, the hotel impressed me with its majestic Neo Renaissance architecture, historic atmosphere, and timeless luxury. Built in 1901, the hotel perfectly combines Polish history with sophisticated modern comfort. The interiors are breathtaking, with refined Art Deco elegance, magnificent details, and a truly royal atmosphere throughout the property. Walking through the lobby and historic halls feels like stepping into another era of European luxury. The location is exceptional, right on the historic Royal Route near the Presidential Palace and Warsaw’s Old Town, making the experience even more special. The rooms were luxurious, elegant, and incredibly comfortable, while the service was impeccable professional, attentive, and welcoming at every moment. Overall, a world class hotel in Warsaw historic, sophisticated, and absolutely unforgettable.”
“I loved this hotel. The room was spacious and it had a lot of places to put things and charge things. The service was great. We got a bunch of gifts and welcoming food. They brought cake and stuffed animals even though we didn’t ask and they were super kind. The location is really good since you are close to old town Warsaw and also the presidential palace and many landmarks. There are also lists of restaurants nearby making the location great. The breakfast would have been a little overpriced but since it was included it was fine. They had a big buffet with lots of options. The staff also helped us with suitcases and luggage and were very welcoming. It was pricey but if I could then I would come again.”
“Love, love, love this hotel. Have stayed there three times and every time was great. Rooms are gorgeous. Service is top-notch and if you like fish (and maybe even if you don't), this hotel has one of the best breakfasts anywhere in the world. It also has a great location and a super-cool history. 5-stars on everything and in every way.”
“The staff is extremely professional and guests are treated very well. Our rooms were standard two beds. The bathroom was lovely with the marble but having a vent in the door affects the privacy if you are sharing the room. Some of our electrical outlets didn't work but we were only staying one night so I didn't have time to address it with the staff. Also, it seems to be a theme in most of the hotels lately that there aren't enough hooks to hang towels or travel toiletry bags in the bathrooms. If you drive here, they have limited parking out front. Otherwise, the hotel is more than happy to arrange for airport transportation. The breakfast buffet has many items to choose from and is worth a stop. I would definitely stay here again for more than one night so I could enjoy it more but I was rushed to meet up with family in another town.”
“Valeriia and Diana was super nice and the hosts were amazing. 10/10 best hotel in Warsaw felt really honored as a gold member. They were super nice and gave us great recommendations in Warsaw. Diana gave us such great service for breakfast. Amazing! Such an amazing location and even convenient parking out front. Give her and team a raise!”
