ibis Warszawa Stare Miasto, part of Accor's budget ibis brand, sits on Muranowska Street on the northern edge of the city centre, about a kilometre from the Old Town Market Square. It is a large, modern hotel with 333 air-conditioned rooms, and while it has none of the character of the historic hotels, it delivers what matters for a budget stay: comfortable beds, a clean modern design and a good location for sightseeing on foot. Breakfast is served on site and guests rate it highly. The IBIS KITCHEN restaurant serves burgers and Polish and international dishes, and there is a bar for an evening drink. Drivers will appreciate the underground car park, rare in central Warsaw, though the spaces are tight. The Dworzec Gdański metro and railway station is about seven minutes' walk away, and the Old Town is roughly an eight-minute walk. Check-in is from mid-afternoon.
Location and getting around: Muranowska is on the edge of Muranów, a residential district built on the rubble of the former Warsaw Ghetto, so the hotel is also well placed for POLIN Museum and the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes, both within walking distance. Walk south to reach the New Town and the Barbican, and the Old Town Market Square beyond. The metro from Dworzec Gdański takes you to the city centre, the Palace of Culture and Nowy Świat in a few stops, and trams run along the main roads nearby.
The rooms: standard ibis rooms are compact and practical, with air conditioning and good soundproofing. Family options are available, and higher floors are quieter and have better views.
Who it suits and good to know: budget travellers, families and drivers who want a central base at a sensible price, and anyone planning to focus on the Old Town and POLIN. Book breakfast with your room, as it is good value. The trade-off is atmosphere: the surroundings are more residential than charming, but the Old Town is a short stroll away.
