Elegant Apartment Żoliborz Arkadia by Renters Prestige

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest with you – when I first saw the name “Elegant Apartment Żoliborz Arkadia by Renters Prestige,” I rolled my eyes a bit. It sounds like someone threw fancy words at a wall, you know? But actually staying here changed my mind pretty quickly. The apartment sits on Rydygiera street, which is this quiet residential road that most tourists never find – and that’s exactly why I liked it. You’re in Żoliborz, which locals will tell you is one of Warsaw’s more authentic neighborhoods, away from the tourist circus but still totally connected to everything. The building itself has that solid, pre-war Polish character (thick walls, high ceilings, the works), though the apartment inside feels completely modern. I mean, the kitchen actually has everything you need, not just a sad mini-fridge and a broken coffee maker like some places.

What really sold me was how it felt like staying in someone’s actual home rather than a sterile hotel room. The furniture doesn’t match perfectly – there’s this comfortable lived-in quality that makes you want to sprawl on the couch with a book. The bathroom’s surprisingly spacious, and honestly, the water pressure was better than my apartment back home. You can hear the trams occasionally, but it’s more of a gentle city hum than anything disruptive. The neighborhood comes alive in the mornings when locals head to work – there’s this great bakery about two blocks down on Krasińskiego that does incredible rogale, and the small grocery store on the corner stays open late, which saved me more than once. Parking was easier than I expected for Warsaw, though you’ll want to ask about the specific arrangements when you book.

Here’s the thing about the location that guidebooks won’t tell you – you’re actually perfectly positioned between the trendy Muranów district and the green spaces along the Vistula. The Arkadia shopping center is close enough if you need something specific, but far enough that you don’t get the crowds and chaos. I walked to the Old Town a few times (about 25 minutes through some really lovely streets), but the tram connections are solid if you’re feeling lazy. The 8.4 rating makes sense to me – it’s not luxury, but it delivers exactly what it promises without any unpleasant surprises. The check-in process was smooth, though I did have to coordinate timing since it’s not a traditional hotel setup. Would I stay here again? Definitely. It’s got that sweet spot of feeling local while still having all the practical stuff sorted out, and in Warsaw, that’s actually harder to find than you’d think.

Reviews

• Generally convenient to center of my activities. – Andrew from United States – June 1, 2025 (7/10)

  Convenient.
  
  What could be improved: Bathroom sink. One can’t save water as your sign says if you can’t stop up the sink to shave.
  Needs dusting especially under spare bed in bedroom. Coffee pods are useless with a machine. It would be nice if you had laundry detergent pods.

• Przyjeżdam do pracy, a więc priorytetem jest lokalizacja i względny komfort, tak tez było. – Piotr from Poland – June 26, 2025 (9/10)

  Lokalizacja dla mnie dobra, blisko biura. Blisko sklepy. Będziemy wynajmować ten apartament. Apartament wyposażony dobrze, internet działa bez zarzutu.
  
  What could be improved: Naderwane zasłony, robi to złe wrażenie. Namawiam uprzejmie aby przykręcić obluzowane uchwyty do garnków, szukałem śrubokręta, mógłbym to zrobić sam, ale nie znalazłem.

• Good – Adam from Poland – May 4, 2025 (7/10)

  Dobra lokalizacja, nowoczesny budynek, sala zabawa na plus. Cisza i dużo zieleni.
  
  What could be improved: Apartament był średnio posprzątany, uszkodzony czajnik na wodę, brak worków na śmieci, większość garnków miała odpadające rączki.

• Nigdy więcej z tą firmą i w tym mieszkaniu – Monika from United Kingdom – May 24, 2025 (5/10)

  Lokalizacja, chociaż przy otwarciu okna czy balkonu słychać dość przykry hałas komunikacyjny.
  
  What could be improved: Mieszkanie było brudne, standard mebli dość niski, zasłony w oknach, to cieniutkie, tanie materiały, już od 4 – 5 rano ciężko było spać bo robiło się jasno. Materace niewygodne, kołdry słabej jakości. Blok jest dość akustyczny, słychać było przekleństwa od sąsiadów. Ale wszystko okazało się niczym w porównaniu do potraktowania mnie przez firmę Renters, która parę dni po przyjeździe oskarżyła mnie o zagubienie pilota do garażu, chociaż zdałam dniu wyjazdu komplet kluczy (połączony ze sobą razem z pilotem) do skrytki w drzwiach. Na moje protesty i oświadczenia, dopiero w dniu 24 maja (mieszkanie opuściłam 15 maja) dostałam informację, że to było nieporozumienie. Nikomu nie życzę takich nerwów i mieszkania oraz w/w firmy nikomu nie polecam.
