The hype
Travelers love the renovated rooms and the beds, but the lack of a pool and the street noise are constant gripes.
Sheraton Grand Warsaw
$150-250/ night
Book this if You want a power-player location near Parliament with a club lounge that actually serves a full dinner, and you don't care about having a pool.
Why People Love It
- The Club Lounge is legendary—one of the best in Europe with hot meals and free alcohol
- inAzia isn't just a hotel restaurant; it's a legitimate culinary destination with an Omakase table
- Location on Three Crosses Square puts you between high-end fashion and the hipster bars of Nowy Świat
Quick Take: A polished, corporate machine that delivers on sleep and service but feels a bit like a fortress of solitude in a chaotic intersection.
Reviewed by @markrich5000: I booked this Club Room for a business trip and it was exactly the sanctuary I needed. The marble bathroom with a separate tub was a highlight, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Plus, having Nespresso on tap kept me going. Highly recommend for a stress-free stay.
Guest Who Stayed Here Said
Reality check
Elite members rave about the lounge, but regular guests often feel the standard rooms are just 'okay' for the price without the perks.
- You hold Marriott Platinum status or higher (the lounge value is insane)
- You need to be near the Embassies or Parliament for work
- You prioritize a high-end gym (Technogym equipment) over a pool
Cleanliness & Maintenance
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some reports of missed refills (water/coffee).
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly sparkling, but a recent verified review flagged 'hair and mold' in the shower and a 'bad odor' from the toilet—check immediately upon entry.
- Maintenance: Renovated rooms are sharp. Older complaints about peeling paint have mostly vanished since the 2019 update.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, white, and high quality. The 'Sheraton Sleep Experience' bedding holds up.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like signature Sheraton fragrance (white tea/fig). Hallways usually neutral, though one report of smoke smell.

- Renovated Junior Suites for a 'residential' feel with separate living areas
Rooms to avoid
- Low-floor rooms facing Plac Trzech Krzyży (unless you like watching traffic)

Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I would appreciate a renovated room on a high floor, specifically facing the inner courtyard to minimize street noise from the square. If available, a room away from the elevators would be ideal.”

Insider Tips
- ✨
Ask for the 'Omakase' table at inAzia—it's a window right into the kitchen where you can watch the chefs work.
- ✨
The 'Cucina Mia' restaurant doubles as a spillover lounge during the day for coffee if the main lounge is too busy.
- ✨
Don't buy water—there are dispensers on the floors (though housekeeping sometimes forgets to leave the carafe, so check your room).
5 things to know before you go
💡The 'cold-hearted' service style—efficient, but don't expect a warm welcome from every staff member.
💡The shower pressure is usually fantastic, a rare win for older buildings.
💡The 'view' from many rooms is just the office building across the street.
💡You can hear the protests if there's a demonstration at the Parliament nearby.
💡The sauna closes earlier than you'd expect (often 9 or 10 PM), so check the hours.
