Okay, thanks for the advice.

I know but I was just wondering if any Brits had been and could say, "I'm with HSBC and got 3.95 and charge 1%" or something like that.

Cheers

Travel / Low cost airlines from the Midlands to Warsaw, when, anyone know? [28]

I've been told to avoid Central Wings! BMIBaby have flights to Poland from East Midlands, may be worth checking them out.

After reading that, FinT, I am glad they cancelled the flights and we are now going with BMI and coming back with Wizz!

Looks like we will be staying at the Lucky Hotel in Sopot, reasonably cheap and lots of room. It is the price and location that sold it for us.

Thanks

Yes they are but if you click on the link it will give you an error. Try BMIBaby.

We are coming back in to Doncaster via Wizz. If that flight is delayed we won't really mind as long as we are not too delayed going out :-)

Thanks Spiritus

I have been emailing apartments, etc with no luck. I have the feeling we made need to split up and stay in apartments that are close to each other.

I have also enquired at the Miramar but that seems to be full. Another hotel I have emailed is the Novotel Marina.

Thanks for your advice and I will let you know how I get on.

Hi Spiritus

We prefer to arrange things ourselves to try and cut down on costs. Also stag organisers usually have a deal with certain hotels and bars and so send you there even if they are no good.

If you know differently and can recommend anyone then I would gladly look into it.

Thanks

Travel / hotels Gdansk [14]

We are going to Gdansk / Sopot in the summer and have been looking at hotels. I have been using gdansk-life.com and Trip Advisor. The Novotel Marina looks good for price and location but is not great for comfot and food. The other one someone has mentioned is the Hotel Poseidon.

The Pensjonat Zosienka looks nice as well. There are a few hotels hotelspoland.com that aren't on Trip Advisor.

Thanks for all your help, guys.

Okay, my main concern is that there may be 15 of us rolling back in from the clubs in the early hours and we wouldn't want to be disturbing people and getting ourselves in trouble.

Thanks for the information.

Thanks Ranj, is it more of a hostel type place?

Thanks

Travel / Visiting Gdansk / Sopot for first time [27]

Hi Scottie

Thanks for taking the time to reply. From what we have read Sopot seems the livlier place to be but friends have stayed at the Novotel in Gdansk and said it was okay. I have also seen a place in Sopot called mokwy14a and have emailed them but not heard anything back. Our budget is probably £30 per person, per night (140PLN I think).

I will check out the Posejdon, thanks.

I know it is not much help to you but we want decent cheap places to eat and drink in the day and early evening but would go more upscale later at night.

Even if you just tell me where not to go that would be a great help.

Thanks again.

Hi Scottie

We'd usually do pubs first and then bars and clubs later on at night.

If you know good places to eat that would be good too.

Thanks

Hi

Yes I did, sorry! I spelt it correctly in the title and then got it completely wrong!

I will check that site, thanks.
