Ego Apartments Old Town

Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve stayed at a bunch of places in Warsaw’s Old Town, and Ego Apartments actually gets it right in ways that surprised me. The location on Piwna Street is honestly perfect – you’re literally a two-minute walk from Castle Square, but here’s the thing most people don’t realize: Piwna is just quiet enough that you’re not dealing with the constant buzz of tourists dragging suitcases over cobblestones at all hours. I mean, you’ll still hear some street noise during the day (it’s the Old Town, after all), but evenings are surprisingly peaceful. The building itself has this great restored feel without being overly precious about it – thick walls that actually keep sound out, which is rare in these historic conversions.

What I really appreciated was how they’ve managed to make the apartments feel like actual homes rather than hotel rooms with kitchenettes slapped in. The kitchens are properly equipped – I’m talking real knives that cut things, decent-sized fridges, and honestly good coffee makers. The bathrooms have this modern Polish design aesthetic that works really well, though fair warning: the water pressure can be a bit temperamental in the mornings when everyone’s getting ready. Check-in was smooth, and the staff actually knows the neighborhood – they pointed me toward this little milk bar on Freta Street that I never would’ve found otherwise. Storage space is generous too, which matters when you’re staying more than a night or two.

Here’s something you won’t read in other reviews: the location puts you right in the sweet spot for exploring both the reconstructed Old Town and the more authentic Praga district across the river. You can walk to the Royal Castle in minutes, sure, but you’re also perfectly positioned to catch tram 26 toward the more local neighborhoods where actual Varsovians hang out. Parking is… well, it’s Old Town parking, so forget about it unless you enjoy paying premium rates and navigating streets designed for horse carts. But honestly, you don’t need a car here anyway – everything’s walkable, and the public transport connections are solid. The 8.6 rating feels about right to me; it’s not luxury (the furnishings are nice but not fancy), but it delivers exactly what you want from an Old Town stay without the tourist trap markup. I’d definitely book here again, especially during shoulder season when you can really appreciate having that extra space and the option to grab groceries at the Żabka down the street instead of eating every meal at restaurant prices.

Reviews

• Exceptional – Shelly from Canada – August 9, 2025 (10/10)

  Location was unbelievable, apartment was spacious, clean, and just the right balance between modern and vintage.
  
  What could be improved: If I had to choose one thing it world be the stairway entrance. It gives a bit of a scary first impression. However, this was not a big deal for us.

• Perfect place to stay close to the main sights in Warsaw – Adam from United States – June 20, 2025 (10/10)

  Excellent location within short walk from main square. Very spacious, clean, modern rooms with everything you need, and huge shower.
  
  What could be improved: No air conditioning so we had to leave windows open at night and heard noise from the streets below during the night

• Fantastic!!! – Katarzyna from Greece – May 25, 2025 (10/10)

  Everything was just PERFECT! Location, cleanliness, super host! We were allowed to keep our laggage stored after the check out, which was really great! Definitely we will be back!
  
  What could be improved: Everything was excellent!

• Exceptional – Alessandro from Italy – September 8, 2024 (10/10)

• Location great! Air conditioning should be better! – Dorothy from Canada – August 26, 2024 (8/10)

  Location was great. The apartment was clean. Hosts were easy to communicate with and allowed an early check in. The beds were firm and the apartment was spacious. Wifi worked well.
  
  What could be improved: The portable air conditioner did not sufficiently cool the apartment and the window had to be left open for it to work. The air conditioner should be properly installed with a hose sufficiently long to fire through a hole in the window vs having to leave the window open which defeated the purpose. There were fans in the bedrooms but the first night of our stay was so hot that it was uncomfortable. We have never seen such a small hand soap for the bathtub and sink. More toiletries would have made the stay even better.

• Wonderful – Schwab from United States – August 10, 2024 (9/10)

  Perfect location in the old town. Very quiet and clean.

• Great location – Jim from Greece – May 17, 2024 (10/10)

  The location was spectacular to explore and be in the center of old town.
  
  What could be improved: They didn’t have a space to store your luggage.

• Great location to explore the Old City. – Shamil from Israel – November 14, 2023 (9/10)

  Location, spacious apartment. Checkout at 12:30(but this probably is based on availability)
