Hi helosc,

Do hope you enjoy it as you are staying 5 nights, take your bathers and enjoy the pool.

Look up eurocar there were some bikes outside and I think you know Poland is flat,

Will love to try the DT Krakow but I will wait for your review , just think I can't be bothered with all the hassle of trying anymore to maintain Diamond, just left DT and now in Warsaw H but not my usual room and no FRUIT CAKE OR WINE and you would never have Jelly beans.

Hi Helosc,

Hope you are enjoying your time at the Warsaw doubletree, which one in Poland would you say was the best because you just stayed at Krakow.

Sorry for the late reply - I haven't checked FT for a little while.
I just came home from Warsaw on Wednesday.
The Doubletree in Warsaw is absolutely the better hotel.
I was very impressed with everything about it.
The lounge is much better than the one in Krakow.

(I also liked the Doubletree in Krakow though. I was not so impressed with the lounge there though - for one it closed at 8 pm which is a bit early as I like to go for a cup of tea later in the evening.
The Spa area in Krakow is very nice with jacuzzi, steam room and sauna.)

I really, really enjoyed the hotel and I'll certainly come back.
It's perfect for a nice, relaxing break.
I was upgraded to a very big room on the top floor (deluxe, I think) with a view of the nice park.
The room had a sofa with a table, 2 easy chairs, one of them with a table and the bathroom was very big with separate bathtub and showerstall.
I very much liked the window in the roof which gave a lot of light.
The room was very clean and there were plenty of toiletries which were replendished every day.
And it was very quiet at night even with the window open (only a little very distant traffic noise).
The lounge is excellent : 3 kinds of hot food (vegetarian, fish, and meat), assorted canapees, cakes. And the food was interesting and good quality.
They still serve red and white wine (but not sparkling) and vodka, gin, and whisky.
Very nice with the outdoor lounge area with tables and chairs.
The breakfast in the lounge is also fine, I only ate in the restaurant once, just to try it out.
Staff is very nice and friendly.
Access to the Level-Up Spa area (with the very nice Jacuzzi) is 30 zl.

Hi helosc,

Glad you enjoyed it , I am a bit disappointed I am back in Warsaw in Sept but have not booked to stay here again, will have to look at early next year.

Did you find it too far out of the City? I do like it for the peace.

For my purposes it wasn't too far away from the city. I actually liked the remote location - very relaxing.
And the public transport system is very good in Warsaw.

Access to the Level-Up Spa area is again complimentary for Diamonds.
It says so in the welcome letter and I've accessed it without issues.

According to the telephone conversation Level Up area is complimentary for GOLDs as well. I will confirm soon

Hi Al,
Staying once again and it is a pleasure to say that standard of this hotel remains high if not improved from my 1st stay over 3 years ago when it first opened.
I look forward to my next trip back.
Helsoc did you enjoy it?

The point about DoubleTree properties is that they're wildly variable. Some are very good, others far from good. It's kind of a catchall brand.

WAW is one of the better ones and certainly can be good on the value front. For most tourists, however, the location rules it out.

Okay, I will do a Wizla, a live report.
This is my 3rd of 4 night stay. I really shouldn't say how good it is in case it becomes popular. Glad Mmorgan enjoyed it.
Booked basic upgrade to a nice large room on 2nd floor, can't fault it.
In lounge now 3 hot dishes of pasta parcels with blue cheese, Cod and pork pieces. Everything is tasty. Cold salad selection and cakes.

​​​​​Four Spirts Vodka, Gin , Campari and Grants Whisky. Red and White wine

I will be returning.

Hi all,

Booked a stay using hotels.com at the Doubletree Warsaw. Was a great experience.

My hotels.com email is under [email1] whereas my normal Hilton account is under [email2].

At checkin I asked if I could add my Hilton number (under [email2]) to the reservation. As expected, it was a no since it was booked under a 3rd party (Hotels.com/Expedia).

5 days after the stay I receive two emails to [email1] with the subjects: "Your Temporary Hilton Honors Account Password" and "Welcome to Hilton Honors". This was when I was asleep. It contained a brand new HHonors number.

Being curious, I decided to reset the password on that account (since I own the email) and log into the new account, and look at the personal information section (en/hilton-honors/guest/profile/personal-information/). Here I see my "address" has been set to a redacted address with the country in Poland. The account that was created for me has 0 points.

My questions: Why was an account created for me? Does the reservations system automatically do it if the email does not show one exists? Or did someone manually go through my information 5 days after my stay and create one? And if so, why?

Maybe employees get a small bonus when opening up Hilton accounts for non-members?

Sounds like one of the FD staff was a Cwaniak (wise guy) and decided to game the system. I'd try to pursue it as it's well out of order. What exactly do you mean by the address being 'redacted'. Do you mean you see the address but redacted it for FT or you somehow can't even see the address on your profile? It all sounds very fishy and you definitely should not have been signed up without your consent.

If you can see the address you can PM me the details and I can check it out for you, as that's my neck of the woods. I'm not due to visit in the near future but it wouldn't be hard to get to the bottom of this.
