Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Emerald Residence Warsaw with Parking by Noclegi Renters, you immediately notice how quiet this corner of Mokotów feels compared to the bustling city center. The building has that solid, reassuring look that screams quality without being flashy — honestly, it’s exactly what you want when you’re looking for a proper place to stay in Warsaw. The fact that they’ve got parking sorted right in the name tells you everything about how practical this four-star property is.
The Mokotów Advantage
You know what I love about this location? Mokotów is where actual Varsovians live, not just tourists passing through. You’re on Gandalfa street — yes, like the wizard — which locals find amusing, and it’s this perfect residential area that still gets you into the Old Town in about 15 minutes by tram. There’s a Żabka convenience store practically around the corner, and honestly, that matters more than you’d think when you want a late-night snack or forgot to pack something essential. The couples who stay here get it — it’s romantic without being touristy, if that makes sense.
Your Space
The apartment setup here is what really sets this place apart from your typical hotel experience. Each room feels like someone actually lives there, not like it was designed by a committee. The kitchen isn’t just for show either — I mean, you’ve got proper counter space and everything you need to make breakfast or heat up those amazing pierogi you bought at the market. The beds are comfortable (couples especially seem to appreciate the space), and the windows actually open, which is surprisingly rare in modern hotels.
Practical Perks
Let’s talk about what actually matters when you’re traveling. The Wi-Fi works everywhere, the water pressure is solid, and you’re not fighting with other guests for elevator space because this isn’t some massive tourist factory. The building feels secure without being stuffy — you get your key card, everything works smoothly, and the staff knows what they’re doing without hovering. Plus, having guaranteed parking in Warsaw? That’s worth its weight in gold, especially if you’re planning day trips outside the city.
Why Guests Love It
Recent guests keep mentioning the same things, and I get why. It’s that sweet spot where you feel like you’re living in Warsaw rather than just visiting it. The neighborhood has character — tree-lined streets, local cafes where baristas remember your order, and you’re close enough to everything important without being in the thick of tourist chaos. The restaurant options nearby lean toward local favorites rather than international chains, which honestly makes for better meals and stories. When couples rate this place highly for romantic getaways, they’re not just talking about the space itself — it’s the whole experience of feeling like you’ve got your own little corner of the city.
Hotels near me in Warsaw offer convenient access to the city center, where guests can easily walk to Royal Castle, Market Square, and vibrant cultural venues.

Guest Reviews
Very Good
Czysto i bardzo miły personel
What could be improved: Nie można otworzyć okna brak świeżego powietrza, owszem jest klina ale nie każdemu to odpowiada
Hind ja kvaliteet ei olnud paigas.
Mulle meeldis asukoht
What could be improved: Liiga räpane oli, põrandad, nõud ja voodil.
Wonderful
Wspaniały klimat (pianino, książki, oświetlenie), piękna łazienka z podgrzewaną podłogą, przytulny szklany balkon, cicha i zielona okolica. Duży plus za miejsce na parkingu podziemnym.
What could be improved: Mały minus - w kuchni wbudowany ekspres do kawy, szkoda że nie da się go użyć, bo nie ma w apartamencie kawy (ja ze sobą nie wożę ziaren kawy) :)
Varšuva
What could be improved: Labai prastas savininko bendravimas, į pranešimus atrašo po daugiau kaip 24 valandų, todėl apie greitą susisiekimą pamirškite. Turėjau mokėti 216 eurų už dvi naktis, o sumokėjau 236 eurus, paprašius sąskaitos - faktūros, taip ir neatsiuntė.
Exceptional
Visādi citādi ok apartaments, bet baigi piepīpēts, es otreiz nepaliktu. Un par pārkingu, pirms tikt pārkingā ir jāpaņem pults dzīvoklī - epastā angļu valodā tas viss neskaidri sarakstīts. Virtuvē viss nepieciešamais gatavošanai, mājā lejā ir liels pārtikas veikals, brokastis, ja slinkums gatavot, var paēst mājā esošajā beķerejā. Forša apkārtne, ir kafeinīcas, veikaliņi.
What could be improved: Vannasistabā lietus duša krūšu augstumā - un bija taču kāds idiots, kurš to nopirka, un kāds idiots, kurš to uzstādīja :)
Good
Дизайн апартаментов, наличие паркинга, оценили кофемашину Siemens, холодильник Smeg, пианино, широкий диван, книги, месторасположение
What could be improved: Не обеспечили постельным бельём третьего человека, указанного при бронировании, не отреагировали на мой запрос, ребёнку пришлось спать без постельного белья. Кровать для пары очень узкая, душ в ванной установлен слишком низко

piękne wnętrze
What could be improved: nie dotyczy
Зручно, гарно та атмосферно
Дуже зручне розміщення. Двір, балкон з терасою, чіткі вказівки по заселенню.
Wonderful
What could be improved: Ac was not working or I didn’t know how to turn it on ?
It was a short stay over all nice place
Do Not Stay here. the 10 ratings are frauds and the owners did not help us with our issues at all!!!
Deck was critical since it was the only way to cool down on a hot day. No air conditioning is in this apartment and no working TV. The hosts did not respond to help to the next day, and then did not help at all. Do not expect help if you have issues, and there will be issues.
What could be improved: TV was not functional, it would only turn on. No remote control for the TV. We spent 4 hours the first night and 3 hours the next day trying to get help from Booking, from Renters, and from the owner. No help until the afternoon of the second day. The technician came and said we had no remote control. Uh yes, that is what we had been saying. They thought we did not know where it was or what it looked like. He search through everything and did not find it. Now the first night we found a way to turn on the tv and select inputs, but none of the 4 HDMI ports worked. So we navigated with the single button on the bottom of the Sony TV, to a netflix app, Oh the TV is not configured to access the internet! So we were there for 4 days and 3 nights and the TV was not functional.
Even worse than having the TV out, was the service help we received, about 12 phone calls, numerous chat messages and emails, and no help until day 2 of our 3 day stay. Service was terrible, non responsive, and once arriving they just said too bad, no remote will have to wait until next week to use the TV.
Second day the temperatures reach 90 degree F or 33 C. The apartment was not bearable even with the windows open. We had to make sure we were somewhere else. The night was so hot we slept on the outdoor deck from most of the night.
Now for the little things. Opening the door requires great effort and technique. It does not just open by turning the handle. They no this and have not corrected it and likely will not correct it. There was black mold in the corners of the shower. You would think they would clean this by now. Several lights in the apartment do not work, the lights in the bedroom do not work, one light in the living room flickers around the top of the room on and off, the light above the mirror in the bathroom does not work so you cannot do makeup in there. The bed is not a queen bed, and it is about a foot off of the floor. Table in kitchen is cramped, no livingroom tables
