Le Royal Meridien Bristol Review

Le Royal Méridien Bristol
$$$-$$$$, Warsaw
User Rating: *** 2.9
Fodor's Review:
Built in 1901 by a consortium headed by Ignacy Paderewski -- the concert pianist who served as Poland's prime minister from 1919 to 1920 -- the Bristol was long at the center of Warsaw's social life. Impressively situated on the Royal Route, next to the Palac Namiestnikowski (Presidential Palace), the hotel survived World War II more or less intact. It continues to maintain a long tradition of luxury and elegance under the ownership of Le Méridien. Additionally, the hotel has one of the best cafés in town -- no one can resist its pastries.

Don’t make reservations at this hotel !
Posted by bakbowie from New Jersey on 11/12/07
I made a reservation for an Executive Room for my husband and myself for one night. My credit card was charged for the full amount. After an exhausting (nearly 9 hrs) trip by car, we arrived at the hotel, in the evening. We brought all our luggage in to the lobby only to find out that there was no room for us. First they tried to send us to some far away hotel, on our own, even when we told them that we were very tired and didn't know the town at all . Then we were sent to another, closer, hotel where we were given a room to stay. The room was not the same class of accomodation, with a leaking toilet. Not, to mention very unwelcome reception from the stuff. No adjustment was offered to the deposit amount, even though we were not given an equivalent room. Actually, the only help we got from the manager of Royal Meridien , besides transfering our deposit, was to point out the general direction of the other hotel. Needless to say we will never go back or recommend Le Royal Meridien Bristol to our family or friendsRATING: 1.0
Location with old world charm
Posted by Martin from FLorida on 1/24/06
I grew up in Warsaw and now after 30 years have returned on several occasions with my wife. The Bristol is perfectly located on the main pedestrian shopping street in Warsaw as well as a 2 minute walk from Stare Miasto (Old City.) Some of the best restaurants are stepps away. The Hotel has a pre war ambiance with a classic old world feel. The rooms are clean and spacious and allthe staff is fluent in english. Therefore, I did not have to translate for my wife. The only negative, although sligh, is that some of the antigue furniture and persian carpets are begining to show their age. We love the hotel and look forward to our return.RATING: 4.8
