Chopin Apartments – Eco

Hotel Description

You know what? I was honestly a bit skeptical when I first saw the name “Chopin Apartments – Eco” – it sounded like one of those places trying too hard to be trendy. But after spending a few nights there on Żelazna Street, I’ve got to say it actually delivers on what it promises. The location in Wola is pretty solid if you know Warsaw at all – you’re not right in the tourist chaos of Old Town, but you can hop on the metro at Rondo Daszyńskiego (maybe a 7-minute walk) and be anywhere in the city pretty quickly. The building itself sits on this quiet stretch where you’ll hear some street noise during the day, but honestly, it dies down by evening. I mean, it’s Warsaw, not the countryside, so you’re going to get some urban sounds.

The apartments themselves feel… well, lived-in in a good way. Nothing fancy, but everything works, and there’s this genuine attempt at being eco-friendly that doesn’t feel forced. The kitchen actually has proper pots and pans (not those flimsy things you usually get), and I noticed they’ve got decent recycling bins set up throughout the building. My room faced the courtyard, which was quieter than I expected – though I heard from another guest that the street-facing ones can get a bit noisy with the trams. The Wi-Fi is solid, which matters if you’re working remotely, and the heating worked perfectly when I was there in March (trust me, you’ll want that in a Polish spring). Check-in was straightforward – no fancy lobby or anything, just a simple process that gets you settled without fuss.

What I really appreciated was how the place sits in an actual neighborhood rather than some sterile hotel district. There’s this great little pierogi spot called Bar Prasowy just down the street that locals actually eat at, and you’ve got a Żabka convenience store practically next door for those late-night snack runs. The Palace of Culture is maybe a 15-minute walk if you’re feeling ambitious, or you can catch the bus right outside. Parking can be a bit tricky – street parking is hit or miss, and there’s no dedicated hotel garage, so factor that in if you’re driving. The staff speaks decent English, though they’re more helpful than chatty, which honestly suited me fine. For a 3-star place with a 7.9 rating, it hits that sweet spot where you’re not paying luxury prices but you’re also not dealing with broken fixtures or sketchy Wi-Fi. It’s the kind of place I’d book again if I needed a base in Warsaw for a few days – comfortable enough to relax, practical enough to actually live in for a bit, and positioned well enough that you feel like you’re experiencing the real city rather than just passing through it.

Reviews

• Good – Georgios from Greece – December 30, 2024 (7/10)

  The apartment is in the centre of the town which it was very convenient for my every day routine.
  It provides internet access.
  
  What could be improved: I didn’t like having to go all the way up 15 floors with the elevator and one more with the stairs . Going up there with heavy luggages is a challenge.

• Very Good – Cip2006is from United Kingdom – July 15, 2024 (8/10)

  Close to where I needed to be
  
  What could be improved: Could do with more cleaning and put some more soap and shower gel.

• I recommend this place, perfect location and view, it is pretty and clean and there is a self check in available. – Nikolova from Bulgaria – August 11, 2023 (9/10)

  Perfect location, it is central, and there are many landmarks, restaurants, bars nearby. The room is clean, well-designed with the perfect city view. The location is easy to find with the provided instructions by the host, and there is a self-check in option in the late hours, which is a life saver. The building also has a very good security system.

• Very Good – Anastasiia from Lithuania – December 4, 2023 (8/10)

  the location of the apartment was very comfortable, the closed area. clear instructions on how to check-in, and allowed to check-in earlier.
  
  What could be improved: In the bath there were empty shower shampoo and shower gel dispensers, there was one cup available without any spoon at least. The safe locker wasn't functioning. The shower doesn't have any protective glass, so all water was going on the floor and since no foot towels it was required going out of the shower very carefully

• Wonderful – Diana from Latvia – February 21, 2023 (9/10)

  the location is super, but the labyrinths are not very good for me personally

• Exceptional – Gupta from Poland – November 12, 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment is located at the centre and met the expectations.
  
  What could be improved: There is only one curtain and which is not enough for the big window.

• The amount of the money I paid is enought for the apartment. – Frank from Peru – March 24, 2025 (6/10)

  Nice place, quite! The kitchen was not so good and the washing machine was too old and small.
  
  What could be improved: Small kitchen and old washing machine.

• Pleasant – Kekeletso from South Africa – May 15, 2024 (6/10)

  I liked the view a lot from the room. And the location.
  
  What could be improved: I didn't like that it wasn't clean enough. But then again I made a late booking.

• Fair – Kostas from Greece – December 15, 2023 (5/10)

  What could be improved: I didn't stay at the place I booked instead to another flat . It didn't meet my expectations.

• Dissapointment – Evelina from Lithuania – November 29, 2023 (1/10)

  What could be improved: Very disapointing experience. Instructions on where to find the key were provided only an hour before check in, it's not entirely clear how to get into the place, a lot of labirinths. The appartment itself is tired to say the least, there are a lot of things that should be replaced, also could not call it clean. They knew that 2 people will be staying, yet there's only one glass provided, only 2 towels for 4 days… Kettle is provided but no cups that could take the heat of the water. Sevage work is terrible, while using the sink you can constantly hear the water coming out of the shower drainage. WC doors do not close properly, even when "locked". Wifi is extremely inconsistant, keeps turning of for no apparent reason. Also, the apartment is on 16th floor, but elevator goes up only till 15th floor, so you have to you stairs for the last floor, not comfortable and not wheelchair or baby friendly. Appareantly there is a mini kitchen with microwave and etc, this info was not disclosed and we didn't know anything about it for majority of our stay. In important info there's notet that we will need to leave deposit of 200 zl, but it was not taken, so we have exchanged this amount for nothing. There was no contact with any person at all, despite one short call from our side stating that we cannot find the place – the person was extremely rude and hung up on as without proper phonecall ending. Would not recommend, you can definetaly find better options, most likely for cheaper as well…
