We booked the BW on Hotwire at a rate of $170 thru its secret hotel program. Having never stayed with BW, I didn't know what to expect. I had BW match my HHonors Gold. They offered me Diamond which is top-tier in their program. I didn't care that status matches are once per lifetime of account because I figured that since I wouldn't stay with them again, why not make my only stays nice.
We arrived by the Metro line 3 to Wagram station, from which the hotel was a 2 minute walk. It was an old and narrow pink building. The lobby looked ok. The elevator was a small closet that me and my 2 small Cary-ons barely fit in and actually got caught in on the way out. I asked about the Diamond benefits. The only Diamond benefit was a space available upgrade. She said the hotel is full tonight, but tomorrow we could give you upgrade.
We were assigned to room 620, one of about 5 rooms on the floor. The room was little and had the tiniest double bed I've ever seen. The in room phone was broken. There was barely room to move because the tiny bed took upmost of the tiny room. The bathroom had a toilet and shower cubicle with no bath. The toiletries on offer were body lotion and shower gel. No shampoo, conditioner or soap. By the time I realized it was late and I didn't feel like making a fuss. The shower cubicle was tiny. I couldn't turn around in it without turning off the water and pushing the door open, getting water all over the bathroom floor.
The next day, we were upgraded. The new room had twin beds pushed together, a bit more space, and a decently sized bathroom with a bath tub. To anyone who stays here I strongly recommended paying for the next category because otherwise your room will just be too small.
The hotel had free wifi, but it annoyingly required you to log in with user ID and password every time, and wasn't able to remember a device.
The hotel didn't have an official concierge, but the receptionists were very eager to help us out with all of our trip planning needs and I was quite satisfied with the level of service.
Verdict: A great hotel if you want a budget friendly property in this part of town 17/8 districts). Close walk or metro ride to most big sites. Book a deluxe room for optimal space to better enjoy your stay.
