HOTEL REVIEW | SOFITEL WARSAW VICTORIA

Last weekend me and Sean took advantage of cheap flights and spent the weekend in the gorgeous city of Warsaw. I'll have a vlog up soon on my channel but right now I just want to talk about the luxurious 5 star hotel we stayed in for two nights.

Location

The Sofitel Warsaw Victoria is located in the centre of Warsaw, between the Central Station and the Old Town. The hotel stands just in front of the largest square in Warsaw - Piłsudskiego Square - and is just metres away from the presidential palace. It can be easily accessed by bus, taxi, foot, or by bike - we actually used all four modes of transport while we were there.

Check in

We were very promptly greeted, checked in, and upgraded within a few minutes of arriving. The receptionist was lovely and spoke perfect English, as did every member of staff we encountered that weekend. We were asked if we needed any help taking our bags to our room but as there were three elevators we chose to just take them up ourselves.

Our Room

I'm not really sure where to even start as our room was just so huge. We were upgraded from a Junior Suite to what I think was an Opera Suite which was twice the size of our original room. The main features of our suite were the two decent sized bathrooms, the king size bed, a living room and rather large desk area. Both the living room and bedroom had large windows which looked down onto the square and park.

Bedroom

In our massive bedroom we had an incredibly fluffy king size bed which came with a pillow menu so we could pick and choose which pillows we wanted brought up to us. The bed was one of the comfiest beds I've slept in and honestly my bed at home just doesn't feel the same since I've returned. We also had a long vanity area, tea/ coffee making facilities, a few chairs, a widescreen TV and a wardrobe. Inside the wardrobe there were two dressing gowns, two pairs of slippers, a sewing kit and other bits and bobs that we might have needed.

Living Room

It's very rare that I stay in a hotel room with a separate living area but this was easily the largest. This room featured hanging space for our coats, a wide screen TV, a two piece suite, a large desk, a coffee machine, a fully stocked mini fridge, and again some other bits and bobs for us to use. 

Bathrooms

Believe it or not we were blessed with two bathrooms; one just off the living room and one off the bedroom. The first bathroom was a decent size and had a toilet, shower, sink and lots of toiletries. The other bathroom was much larger and featured a toilet, a sink, a bath, a separate shower, a bidet, a nice vanity area and again lots of toiletries. 

Room Service

During our time in the hotel we ordered room service twice, both times our meals were delicious and brought up to our rooms very quickly. Neither me or Sean had ordered room service in any other hotel before but we found the prices to be quite reasonable here. If you are short of time, or just want to eat in the comfort of your own room, I highly recommend ordering from the room service menu.

Hotel facilities

The Victoria is a deceptively large hotel, housing a bar, two restaurants, a spa, an indoor pool, a fitness centre, several conference rooms and a casino. During our stay we only used the bar as we were quite short of time but if we were to stay again I would not hesitate to hop into the pool for a few hours.

Overall we throughly enjoyed our stay here. Our suite was easily the nicest hotel room we've ever stayed in and the hotel itself was just fantastic. The staff were all incredibly friendly and were happy to help us out with everything, they also all spoke fantastic English which really came in handy. This is probably my favourite of all the hotels I've ever stayed in and believe me I've stayed in quite a few hotels over the years! I would absolutely love to stay here again next time we visit Warsaw.

Do you have a favourite hotel? I've love to hear all about it!

Thanks for reading
