I think I found a winner. One way ticket cost only $1 and it doesn't stop at regular bus stops, just in front of the hotels.
It goes to the following hotels:
Hotel Gromada / Airport Hotel
Hotel Novotel / Business Garden
Hotel Sobieski / Hotel Golden Tulip
Hotel Marriott Holiday Inn / Intercontinental
Hotel Polonia Palace / Hotel Novotel Centrum
Hotel Jan III Sobieski
and at the end to the Central Train station / Metro Centrum.

For Westin people; I would get off at Intercontinental stop and walk 2 or 3 blocks on the same street (Aleja Jana Pawla II).
Check if your hotel is listed

Taxi from the airport to the central train station cost between $30-$40. Rip off. If you don't speak Polish I wouldn't be surprised if they charge you $50. Always negotiate the rate

If you have early AM departure out of WAW back to AMS or CDG I think you will have to take the taxi, but at least going to town you will save some money.
The bus stop is near Terminal 2 and the bus departs at these hours:
09.03 , 10.34 , 12.05 , 13.27 , 14.58 , 16.29 , 18.00.

Who is arriving on the 25th on KLM from AMS at noon? We can take the bus together. (BTW - I speak Polish)

Hope this helps a little.

I just got back from Warsaw, had a great time there. bwiadca's 3 zloty fare is pretty good from airport to Central Rail Station/Centrum, but another option that might work for people is the 12 zloty ticket which covers public transportation (tram/bus/metro rides) for Warsaw for a 24 hour period, including bus rides to/from the airport terminal. Might be useful if you want to get around - depending on what you plan to sightsee in Warsaw city on a short stay. There are a couple of bank ATMs right in the terminal, so after pulling out some zlotys I bought a 24 hour ticket at the Ruch newspaper kiosk a few steps away. Across from the terminal entrance is the public bus stop, you can take #175 or #188 into the city (#175 includes stops by Centralna and Centrum, so people might take #175 over #188, since more hotels in the city are along #175's route).

I stayed at the Sheraton Warsaw, a short walk away from #175's Smyk stop on Aleje Jerozolimskie. Thanks SPG points and cash!

and click on the specific stop for its schedule. #175 may not work for those flying out of WAW really early in the morning, but I rode it leaving Warsaw city to the airport since my flight was early afternoon. No problem.

Make sure you validate/timestamp the ticket in the little machine as you get on the bus. A transportation official stepped on a few stops into the journey from airport to city center and was checking tickets and passes.

Have fun!
