Central Station Apartments

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard “Central Station Apartments,” I was expecting some generic business hotel near the train tracks. But this place actually surprised me in the best way. Yeah, it’s on Emilii Plater, which is basically right in the thick of everything in Śródmieście, but here’s the thing – you’re not dealing with constant train noise like you’d think. The apartments are tucked away on the upper floors (I stayed on the 5th), and honestly, the street buzz is more energizing than annoying. You know what I mean? It’s that good kind of city hum that makes you feel like you’re actually in Warsaw, not hiding from it.

The apartment itself was… well, it’s definitely more spacious than your typical hotel room. I had this little kitchenette situation going on – nothing fancy, but perfect for making coffee in the morning without having to venture out immediately. The bathroom was surprisingly modern too, which I wasn’t expecting from a 3-star place. I mean, the shower pressure was actually decent, and trust me, I’ve stayed in some “luxury” places where that wasn’t the case. The décor is sort of minimalist-meets-functional – think clean lines, neutral colors, maybe a bit sterile if I’m being picky, but it works. What really sold me was the fact that I could walk to basically everything. Złote Tarasy shopping center is literally a few minutes away, and if you want to hit up the Old Town, it’s an easy stroll or quick tram ride. Plus – and this is key – there’s a Żabka right around the corner for those late-night snack emergencies.

Here’s what I really appreciated though: the check-in process was refreshingly straightforward. No weird hidden fees or surprise charges, and the staff actually seemed to know the neighborhood when I asked about good pierogi spots (they pointed me toward Zapiecek, which was solid advice). The Wi-Fi worked without any drama, which honestly shouldn’t be noteworthy in 2024 but somehow still is. One small thing – the elevators are a bit slow, so if you’re in a rush, factor that in. Also, if you’re a super light sleeper, maybe pack earplugs because while it’s not loud, you’ll definitely hear some city life filtering through. But honestly? That 8.1 rating feels about right. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it delivers exactly what it promises – a clean, comfortable base in an unbeatable location without breaking the bank. Sometimes that’s exactly what you need, especially when Warsaw itself is the main attraction anyway.

Reviews

• A cozy stay close to the central station with most utilities and a reasonable price. – Rokas from Lithuania – February 12, 2025 (9/10)

  The property is really cozy, close to the central station (Warszawa Centralna) and within a reasonable price range. There's no breakfast option but they do have a fridge and all other necessities if you want to prepare something yourself. You have the kitchen for yourself (you don't need to share it with other guests) and are free to use it. You also get a kettle and some tea bags, the tap water is good, so bringing a water bottle is a good idea.
  
  What could be improved: One of the windows was missing the blinds but it's a minor inconvenience.

• Nice experience overall – Anya from Ukraine – December 19, 2024 (9/10)

  A good apartment for a short stay. Great location – close to the central train station where the airport bus arrives.
  
  What could be improved: The only thing that felt a bit odd to me personally was that the apartment is on the ground floor, but you can’t fully cover the windows with curtains. In other words, anyone could see into the apartment while I was there. Especially when the lights were on, I felt completely exposed.
  Even though the apartment is in a quiet courtyard, I still didn’t feel 100% comfortable with that

• Wonderful – Roxana from Poland – December 13, 2023 (9/10)

  The location is just perfect. Trams, buses, metro and Warszawa Centralna Railway Station are all within walking distance. There are also dining places and shopping options nearby. Good value for your money.

• Very Good – Ivy from United States – October 9, 2023 (8/10)

  Great location

• Excellent location and excellent host. Apartment was as photos and with good amenities – Ιωαννης from Greece – January 20, 2023 (9/10)

  There is nothing that I didn’t like. Host accepted my early check in, when arrived the temperature at the apartment was great. She was there for anything I needed and communications was absolutely perfect.

• An ideal apartment for an overnight or weekend stay in Warsaw. – Mike from Poland – October 7, 2024 (9/10)

  Great location near the central station and surrounded by many restaurants and cafes. Apartment was clean with a new bathroom, in a quiet area off the main street. Easy to contact the owners when we had difficulties in using the door code.
  
  What could be improved: A small coffee table by the sofa, and a place to hang your coats in the apartment would be nice. The bathroom needed an extractor fan. These are really minor things though.

• Amazing stay – Sara from Italy – September 20, 2024 (8/10)

  Second time here. Very convenient location close to university, many bars and restaurants around but quiet area
  
  What could be improved: Some glasses were dirty from previous guests, and more than three coffee capsules could be provided for two people and a three nights stay
