Elektrownia Powiśle City View Apartment

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about the Elektrownia Powiśle? The name basically tells you everything – this place sits in Warsaw’s old power plant district that’s been completely transformed into this hip riverside area. I mean, when you first walk in, you can still feel some of that industrial DNA in the bones of the building, but they’ve done something really smart with the space.

The apartment itself is honestly pretty solid for what you’re paying. That “City View” part of the name isn’t just marketing fluff – you actually get decent sightlines over Powiśle, and if you’re lucky with your specific unit, you might catch glimpses of the Vistula. The four-star rating feels about right; it’s not trying to be some luxury palace, but everything works and the finishes are clean and modern. I stayed here during one of those gray Warsaw Novembers (probably not the best timing for showcasing city views, but whatever), and the heating was solid, the WiFi didn’t drop out, and the kitchen had everything I needed to make coffee and heat up pierogi from the market down the street. Speaking of which – and this is something you won’t find in most hotel descriptions – there’s actually a really good food scene developing right in this neighborhood. You’re walking distance from some excellent spots along the river, plus the whole Powiśle area has been gentrifying like crazy, so there are new cafes and restaurants popping up constantly.

Here’s the thing about the location that actually matters: you’re close enough to the city center to walk or grab a quick tram ride, but far enough out that you’re not dealing with Old Town tourist chaos. The check-in process was straightforward – they use one of those keycode systems, so no awkward timing issues with front desk hours. Parking can be a bit of a hunt if you’re driving (honestly, most of central Warsaw is like this), but there are options nearby if you’re willing to walk a few blocks. The only real downside I noticed was that weekend nights can get a bit lively since this area attracts younger locals, so if you’re someone who needs total silence to sleep, maybe pack some earplugs. But honestly? That energy is part of what makes staying here interesting. You get to experience Warsaw like someone who actually lives here, rather than bouncing between tourist attractions and hotel lobbies. The 6-point-something rating seems harsh to me – I’d bump it up a point or two, but I suppose it depends what you’re comparing it against and what time of year you visit.

  Гарна двокімнатна квартира на девʼятому поверсі з панорамним виглядом на все місто. Місце розташування зручне адже близько до набережної р. Вісли і сполученні до центра. Квартира з старого житлового фонду але зі зробленим простим ремонтом і дуже чисто, в якій є все необхідне як і у ванній кімнаті так і на кухні. Особливо біла нова постільна білизна.
