Hilton Warsaw Hotel & Convention Centre 4* – hotel review

Autor pawi dn. 9 stycznia 2015

Hotel Hilton Warsaw Hotel & Convention Centre is 4-Star hotel located at Grzybowska 63 in Capitol’s city centre. Not long ago it had 5-Stars, but for many different reasons has been decided to downgrade its rating. It doesn’t mean poorer service, but more about it later on.

Warsaw Hilton has been opened in March 2007. Even though general refurbishment wasn’t done since then, hotel looks very good considering its 7 years of service.

For the most demanding guests hotel provides exclusive car rental Supercar Club. It is located on level -3 and includes cars like Lamborghini Aventador, Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, Ferrari FF, Ferrari 458 Italia, Maserati Quattroporte GTS, Bentley Conti Flying Spur and Aston Martin Rapide. Additionally, there is a choice of various Porsche, Nissan, Mercedes, Subaru and Chevrolet cars.

Room

Our 64 square meters corner apartment Executive Corner Suite no. 2113 was located on 21st floor. There were two rooms – large bedroom with king-size bed and living room featuring sofa, chair, desk, table and LCD TV. In addition, there were minibar (with alcohol, sweets, nuts and … condoms Durex) along with tea and coffee making facilities. We were welcomed by bottle of champagne in the bucket of ice and fruits placed in our room, which was very nice gesture.

We had superfast wireless internet connection in our room.

Our view from the window was sensational. Given the fact that on this occasion the Polish Army military parade took place we had an extraordinary views.

Bathroom

Our apartment had a large bathroom with bath and separate shower, which was also a toilet and a separate, second toilet. It is very good solution not only for business customers but also for tourists for example families with children. In the bathroom we found number of clean towels and set of cosmetics available in all Hilton hotels.

Breakfast

The choice of two places was available when it came to breakfast. We could go to Executive Lounge or Meza restaurant. To make sure we can compare their offers, we visited both. Meza restaurant offered wider choice of hot and cold dishes, although lounge offered much nicer, intimate atmosphere. Additionally, Meza’s chef served omelets with ham, cheese, chives, peppers and many more.Also, there was large selection of breads, meats, fruit and dietary food – sprouts, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc.

Executive Lounge

Executive Lounge was located on the top floor, however it has been moved to, maybe less convenient, ground and first floor. Newly build facility is much more spacious and modern with amazing, colorful design. This is the first hotel we visited where the popular „exec” is at the front desk level. You can use the Internet there at Lenovo ThinkCenter terminals. As already mentioned in the Lounge the breakfast is served along with cocktails and snacks in the evening. For dinner we had fish and other delicacies which you can see in the pictures.

SPA & Wellness

Fitness club Holmes Place Premium considered one of the best in Warsaw is located next to the Hilton Hotel. It features a good-sized pool with swimming lanes and aqua aerobics, small and large hot tub, sauna, solarium and well equipped gym. This facility is not a part of Hilton Hotel, however guests have free entry. Unfortunately, the place was so busy at the time, we didn’t want to disturb by making photos, so we don’t have any to show you.

Summary

Hilton Warsaw has been rated as 6th class in Hilton Honors loyalty program, however it has only 4. Why ’only’? In our opinion service is offered on a strong 5 * level. Very tasty food, pleasant and helpful staff. It is located a little bit out of way, 15 minutes walk from Central Station. Tram stop is located 300 meters from the hotel, so there’s an access to public transport. Hotel parking lot with 350 spaces is relatively expensive (120 PLN per day) and that’s probably the only downside of Hilton Hotel.
