Hotel Roko

The receptionist was warm and professional, and the staff were exceptionally friendly. That was the bright spot in a three-day stay that cost about 807 Polish zloty (188.60 euros), breakfast included. For that price, the services fell short of what I expected. Getting into Warsaw's center can take a while. The hotel is about 7 km away, and traffic around the nearby bus stop is heavy, especially at peak times. The room was quite small, with two small beds, two chairs, a TV, and an attached bathroom. The bathroom is cramped enough that water spreads everywhere, and a larger person may find it hard to stand comfortably. There is no lift, which could make heavy luggage or mobility concerns a problem. Breakfast was the same each day, with a limited choice of small breads, jam, butter, sausages, scrambled eggs, and milk with cornflakes. Guests get only two small bottles of water at check-in, with no more complimentary water. Extra items from the hotel menu cost noticeably more than at nearby restaurants, so eating in the hotel isn't very cost-effective.
