Travel information
By car:
The Hotel is easy to reach, by taking the E -77 main road Warsaw - Zakopane and near the A4 motorway, which has a good connection with the Balice Airport.
By public transport:
The hotel is located 300 metres from a bus stop, it is walking distance. You have to go two stops by bus and then get out, walk to the tram stop and go directly to the city centre. It takes ca. 30 min. – 40 min.
We recommend taking a taxi service to get to the city centre. It is much easer and not so expensive.
