Lofthotel Sen Pszczoły

The bed was tiny and uncomfortable, and getting into the building and then the room was far more complicated than it needed to be. The inside stairs were narrow, the shared areas had confusing lighting, and the entrance directions were hard to follow. Details in the listing were missing or misleading too. One colleague had paid in advance and still didn’t have a room. The place may look appealing on social media, but our stay didn’t meet expectations in several important ways. I was glad mine was only one night. It seems better suited to backpackers or digital nomads than to travelers who need dependable, comfortable service.

I loved the distinctive rooms with their 70s feel. Everything was quiet and very clean, and breakfast in the morning was good. It’s easy to reach, only a few minutes from Warsaw central train station. I recommend it.

We stayed in the zebra room, and the bathroom was modern and very clean. The shared area was spotless too, and the staff were super friendly. Breakfast costs extra, but there were some delicious choices. The themed rooms are really cool, and everything felt clean and well kept. The hotel itself is lovely. The bed was the main issue. It’s a small double, maybe about one and a half times the width of a single, and we struggled to fit as a couple even though neither of us is large. Sleeping wasn’t easy. There was also a lot of noise outside our window from a nearby building site that started at 5am. In winter the heating was cranked up so high that we had to leave the window slightly open, which meant choosing between overheating and being kept awake by the noise.

The room was clean, the view from the window was great, and breakfast was nice. The whole stay was okay, though the bath water pressure was underwhelming. I ended up in the 'piggy' room, while my folks got the 'Gold fish' room. Photos below. Getting inside was quite a quest. First you type 100 and then the four numbers the hotel sent in a message. Then there’s an ancient lift, which was an experience in itself. After that, you face two doors and a bunch of little key boxes. You enter another code you received, and then you can get to your room.
