Poddebice Holidays

Reasonable hotel. Tricky to find and not the cleanest. Main issue for us we're the glass blocks that meant we could see each other in the bathroom.

I booked this apartment for our family of four. The listing was for a 2 bed apartment, although it seems to have been clarified a little, but it only has one bedroom. There is a good sized double sofa bed in the lounge, but that is the ONLY seating there. We had to make up the sofa bed on arrival. Putting the bed back to a sofa and getting the cover on wasn't the easiest job, and it wouldn't have seated us all in comfort anyway. There was a huge coffee table and the space would have been better used by a couple of easy chairs. The 'separate dining area' can only have been the table and chairs in the kitchen. The apartment was very clean and in good condition. The bed and sofa bed were comfortable. The shower was brilliant; lots of hot water and powerful jets. There was lots of storage space. There was a full size cooker, kettle and coffee maker, but I would ideally liked to have a microwave also. The apartment was central. We could walk nearly everywhere we wanted to go. The downside was that it was very noisy. The front was on a busy main road with constant traffic noise and frequent sirens. The apartment was hot, but we couldn't have windows open. There was building work going on nearby with loud banging until 8pm. It wasn't too much of a problem for us as we were normally out, but it would have been when the children were younger. The address of the apartment caused problems for our taxi transfer as there were 2 numbers. 42 is the block number and 134 is the apartment.

the apartment wasn't at the address, I've received a confirmation email on the day and it was showing a different address, not far but it feels weird when you go to a city you don't know. The apartment was not as modern as in the photos there's no photo on the website which would actually show the place where we stayed. The communication was very bad, felt like I'm bothering the guy, I've asked by Expedia message how does it work a week before we went, there was no reply for 3 days, then i wrote it's worrying me a bit that there's no response, very poor communication, I've booked apartments in other cities and this time I've felt that I'm troubling that guy. The place was clean, but there was not even 1 bag of tea nor sugar sachet nor bottle of water (we've stayed for 1 night). the apartment was situated in a very good location with shops nearby. overall it was very stressful for me not to know where we're gonna sleep til a few hours before the booking.

The property is basic and a bit worn however very clean. Two good shower rooms and 3 double bedrooms are a rare find in central Warsaw. Excellent location. ShortStayPoland's communication was very very good and clear. I would recomend the accomodation for familes
