Janow Podlaski Vacations from $848

The location is great, you step out of the hotel and you are in Castle Square looking at the Royal Castle. The room was clean, good shower with plenty of hot water. I was on the third floor room 33 which had a great view of Castle Square. If you have a room facing the square make sure you bring earplugs because the street noise and bands playing music can be extremely loud. There is no elevator so just stairs to think of if that’s an issue. I was okay with it. There was no safe in my room or air conditioning. I had their breakfast the first morning,it was good but I thought overpriced and only attended once. They claim to have a 24 hour front desk but most of the time nobody is there. The morning that I departed I had to pay for my one breakfast but nobody was at the front desk at about 3:00 and 3:30 am. I did ring the bell. I had to pay for it later which created a bit of a problem.

Chopin Boutique was the most delightful place I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. All of the staff were helpful and kind, and the owner Jarek made me feel so welcome there. The bed was comfortable and the shower was the best I’ve seen in a hotel. As a lover of Chopin, I loved the Chopin concert that happens right there in a pre-war salon setting. I was pleasantly surprised that bikes were available to use, and riding is quite easy and accommodated in Warsaw and the surrounding areas. The breakfast was delicious and I had an incredible dinner at the restaurant as well. So much care has been put into every inch of this place. I have been telling everyone about it, and can’t wait to return!

Staff was very friendly and helpful.
