Sofitel

The Sofitel hotel chain is my go-​to chain when traveling. It’s a hotel that oozes luxury and comfort for me and as I’m one of those people who rather lie in the comfortable bed and order room service rather than go sights I could care less about (hey, at least I’m honest), I value a great hotel.
We booked the Prestige suite when staying at this hotel, which as luck would have it, was newly renovated and in absolutely awesome condition. The room was absolutely gorgeous and very high-​tech. It came with two bed and baths, a large living room and an absolutely heavenly bed (I fell in love). Everything in this hotel room was perfection — so perfect, that we actually extended our stay for three days just to lie in that bed for a bit longer. Yep. We’re that crazy.
As a Platinum member with the company that owns the Sofitel brand, we were well received by the person we pre-​arranged some things with at the hotel. Unfortunately, this hotel has a big issue and it’s service. The people here unfortunately seem incapable to smile, which honestly is such a big pity, because the hotel itself and the dining options at the hotel are absolutely awesome.
Let’s get to the good part: food. The dining options at this hotel are absolutely amazing. It hosts a great upscale restaurant which actually has really good prices. We did a 3-​course dinner for four people with wine for around $ 200 if I’m not mistaken, which was absolutely fantastic value considering the food was great. We ordered room service probably 10 times during our stay (don’t judge me), and it was great comfort food. The prices are honestly what kept us ordering here, we could order two dishes off the room service for around $ 30 for two people which is absolutely unbeatable. A shabby Hilton in the states would run you more than that and give you much less.
Overall: stay in this hotel, but don’t be surprised if you are met with surly faces at times. Also, not all the rooms are renovated, so make sure you try to arrange one.

I went there for the sunday brunch with a friend and my familly even though it was good there were not enough choice nothing special, it was not the best brunch a did.
Je suis allee pour le brunch du dimanche avec une amie et ma famille, malgres que se soit bon, le choix etait limité, et rien d’extraordianaire. Ce n’est pas le meilleur brunch que je connaisse

This used to be my second home in a previous job, very strange to be back.
The hotel is in a perfect location. It has been nicely renovated since I last stayed, the staff are as friendly and helpful as they always were.
The rooms are divided into classic (not renovated) and a more modern version after renovation. I stayed in classic as it was always OK for me before but check that what you reserved is what you saw in the published photos.
The loss of a star is down to a fairly common issue in Poland, overheating in the bedroom. It was like sleeping in a hot wet towel. The climate control was noisy and ineffective so not so easy to sleep.
Breakfast is truly epic, choice, freshness and the ability to order freshly cooked items. The eggs benedict were great, although not on English muffins :(A big choice of coffees served fresh at the table.

Nice hotel central to the city and close to old town. Big negative was the front desk staff very unfriendly and unhelpful

Das Sofitel Warsaw Victoria ist ein sehr gutes und doch preiswertes Luxushotel mitten im Zentrum von Warschau.
Wir waren hier 6 Tage über Silvester/​Neujahr zu Gast und haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen.
Unser Zimmer war eine Junior Suite, diese ist geräumig, stilvoll älter eingerichtet und immer sehr sauber. Man kann wirklich nichts beanstanden. Die Schlafqualität der Betten war top!
Der Service war ebenso gut, die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Schade nur, dass die Reinigung des Zimmers teils erst sehr spät am Tag erfolgte und es teils auch nachmittags noch nicht aufgeräumt war.
Das Hotel selbst hat einen schönen Frühstückssaal, indem alles sehr modern und farbenfroh eingerichtet und total sauber ist.
Der Swimmingpool ist sehr schön und modern, aber etwas klein.
Die Preis/​Leistung ist hervorragend, auch für polnische Verhältnisse. Als Gast aus einem westeuropäischen Land geradezu ein Schnäppchen. Das gilt auch für die Speisen und Getränke.
Das Frühstücksbuffet war sehr gross, es hat an nichts gefehlt. Die Bedienung war ab und zu etwas langsam, aber das ist Kritik auf hohem Niveau. Die Speisen des Zimmerservice waren ebenso grossartig und schön angerichtet. Viel Lob auch an die Bar, diese war stilvoll und hielt ein reichhaltiges Angebot an Getränken bereit.
Fazit: Von wenigen Details abgesehen, war dieser Aufenthalt einfach toll! Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.
Tipp: Am besten ein Zimmer mit Blick auf den Piłsudski-​Platz buchen, dann kann man die Soldaten bei der Ehrenwache-​Ablösung des Grabmal des unbekannten Soldaten beobachten.

One of the best hotels i’ve been visited. Hotel staff are very helpful and always smiling. Breakfast may sound expensive (65 zl) but definetily it’s worth of it! Hotel looks outside like 80’s soviet complex, but inside it is very nice and decorated like 60 – 70 style. Room were nice too w/​two separate rooms and two bathrooms. It was somekind of suite. We were not able to get our room in time, so we got that suite. That was very nice too!

Yes, yes, and YES!
Gorgeous lobby remodel, and I hope they extend it to the rooms soon.
Terrific location to Waszawa Centralna (the main train station — it’s a very short cab ride away), the Warsaw Uprising museum, old town, Ogrod Saski (a lovely lovely park), University of Warsaw, Tomb of the Unknown Solder, and all the shopping and eating to be done along Nowy Swiat. Several good restaurants within walking distance.
The daily breakfast in the hotel lobby is wonderful, and the staff speaks terrific English.
This is storied hotel in Warsaw’s history as well — locals are always very impressed when you say you are staying there and usually have some story to share about it.
Wi-​fi is not free for guests (boo), laundry services were prompt and good, free bottled water in the room was nice, and the wine list in the lobby lounge is rather good. Valet and bell staff are warm and helpful.

Very elegant, recently renewed hotel in absolutely best location, walking distance from old town, Warsaw University, many parks and river bank, so most beautiful part of town.
Above accompanied by very clean and nicely arranged rooms, spacey hall and professional service make this hotel great spot for conferences a well as private trips.
I just held there 240 people conference and all there was no single voice of disappointment. So this is the best recommendation.

Absolut traumhafte Zimmer, ein schöner Ausblick, das Kingsizebett war der Hammer! Im angrenzenden Park kann man morgens schön joggen und um das Hotel herum befinden sich diverse Möglichkeiten zur Abendgestaltung

Das Sofitel Viktoria liegt direkt am Pilsudski-​Platz in direkter Nähe zur Krakauer-​Vorstadt (Krakowskie Przedmieście). Zur Altstadt läuft man nur 10 Minuten zu Fuß und zum Kulturpalast 15 Minuten. Es ist von der Lage daher ideal. Die Architektur ist ein Paradestück des sozialistischen Modernismus aus den 70er Jahren. Von innen her unaufgeregt und eher langweiliges Standartinterieur, kann das Sofitel aber durchaus durch sein guten Service punkten. Die Zimmer sind OK, allerdings könnten die Betten einen Tick größer sein, so wie man es von anderen Sofitels gewöhnt ist.

Hôtel de bon standing architecture un peu soviétique. Idéalement placé en plein centre de Varsovie, proche du centre historique et du château.
J’y suis pour un séminaire, les salles de réunion sont bien adaptées, pause identiques a ce que nous avons en France. Restauration correcte (buffets) avec des spécialités locale.

I didn’t stay here but we came for a coffee. A EUR21 euro coffee to be precise! Which is amazingly expensive 2 café latte’s, apple juice and Sprite.
However the Concierge looked after our bags for the day (only after a bit of an argument) so all was forgiven.
Our friends stayed here and said it was fabulous, though.
