Overview
You know what’s funny about Freta 41/43? I walked past it three times before realizing this was actually my hotel. It sits right there on Freta Street in Warsaw’s Old Town, but it doesn’t scream “HOTEL” at you like most places do – which honestly turned out to be one of my favorite things about it.
The building itself has this understated elegance that makes way more sense once you’re inside. Homeprime clearly knows what they’re doing because every detail feels intentional without being precious about it. The lobby – well, I mean, calling it a lobby makes it sound grander than it is – it’s more like walking into someone’s really well-designed apartment. And the staff actually remembers your name, which sounds small but makes such a difference when you’re dragging yourself back after a long day wandering around the Royal Castle area. Speaking of which, you’re literally a two-minute walk from Castle Square, but somehow the tourist chaos doesn’t really penetrate this little pocket of Freta Street. I could hear church bells from St. Martin’s in the morning instead of traffic, which was pretty perfect for someone like me who’s a light sleeper.
What really got me though was how they’ve managed to blend the historic character of the building with modern comfort without making it feel like a museum or a sterile boutique hotel. The rooms have these gorgeous original hardwood floors that creak just enough to remind you you’re in a centuries-old building, but the beds are absolutely fantastic and the bathrooms are spotless with proper water pressure – honestly, better than my apartment back home. There’s no air conditioning, which had me worried in August, but the thick walls and high ceilings keep things surprisingly cool, and you can actually open the windows for fresh air (revolutionary concept, I know). The Wi-Fi is solid throughout, which matters if you’re trying to upload photos or work remotely. And here’s something I didn’t expect – they have this little courtyard area that’s perfect for morning coffee. Most guests seem to miss it entirely, but if you’re up early enough, it’s this quiet little sanctuary before the Old Town gets busy. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward too – none of that overly complicated key card system or pushy upselling. Just friendly people who seem genuinely happy you’ve chosen to stay there.

Convenient apartment in great location
Location, super comfy beds, perfect for a city break in warsaw.
What could be improved: Spiral staircase
Abbiamo passato una bella e suggestiva vacanza.
Il punto di forza dell’appartamento è decisamente la posizione. Ampio e confortevole ottimale per due coppie. Siamo stati in inverno ma l’appartamento è molto caldo.
What could be improved: Le parti comuni del palazzo sono un po’ obsolete e mal tenute ma l’appartamento è decisamente un’altra cosa.
Superb
Location was exceptional! Right in the heart of the old town (no cars allowed so drop off will be a short walk, just to note if carrying a lot of luggage). The apartment was beautiful and clean and very spacious. Two bathrooms was particularly handy, as we were three friends travelling together.
What could be improved: There was very little in the way of amenities, so no dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, shower gel etc or tea towel. I have not experienced this before. Although there was tea, coffee and sugar. The apartment is actually on three levels, with one suite downstairs and one upstairs, with the living quarters and sofa bed on the middle floor. The spiral staircases are not suitable for children or anyone with mobility issues (the apartment is also on the top floor of the block with no lift). Whilst this was no problem for us, it mat be a consideration for others.
Bien
El apartamento esta muy bien ubicado, con muchos bares cerca.
What could be improved: Nos encontramos varios inconvenientes. El wifi funcionaba muy de vez en cuando, estaba algo sucio el apartamento y el agua salía templada a sabiendas del clima tan frío que hace en la ciudad, la mesa del salón estaba pegajosa. Aún así, buena estancia.
Great location, pleasant property
Location is absolutely great ! Property is spacious and comfortable with 2 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms.
System to collect the keys is perfect ! Property has good vibes.
What could be improved: The property could use a little love & care : little things could be fixed (couple of broken bulbs, lick of paint, etcetera ...), but no dramas, and we didn't want to annoy the owner over it.
No se ajusta a las fotos.
Lo mejor fue la comunicación con el personal y la ubicación. Los cuartos de baño son espacioso. Cocina equipada (sin microondas). Tuvimos algunos problemas y el personal respondió inmediatamente.
What could be improved: El edificio está muy viejo y deteriorado. El apartamento moderno pero muy deteriorado. Al llegar encontramos cucarachas sobre la encimera cocina, en el baño y sobre una de las camas. No teníamos toallas de ducha, sólo pequeñas. El sofá cama es muy incómodo para dormir.
La empresa respondió bien trayendo toallas de ducha y un insecticida que no valía para nada: las cucarachas pasaban sobre la zona con veneno y no morían..
The Flat is not Worth the Price
Location of the flat was good. 2 different bathroom is another good thing about the flat.
What could be improved: The flat was not clean at all. There were many insects and spiders inside the flat ( i took photos some of them). Some stuff like toilet paper, towel paper were not enough for our stay. There was no liquid for washing the dishes and washing the clothes. There were only 2dishwasher tablets for 5 days. Ground was quite dirty (i took photos of dirty floor). Bed sheets were clean but still there were too many old dirts since they are old. Washing them was not enough to clean them completely.
We requested early check-in, and at least we wanted to put our luggages and house owner sent us a message that they will inform us as soon as possible. But they did not inform us about anything at all.
Great
Cleaniness
What could be improved: Distance to tram snd metro
Perfect city trip!
Location was superb, nice restaurants nearby and old town within walking distance too. We had a wonderful spa day at a hotel within 3 minutes walk (just around the corner..). Warsaw is a great city with SO good food and service all around!
Filthy accommodation in a good location.
Rooms were large and there was a washing machine. The apartment was a five minute walk from the edge of the old town. The downstairs bathroom was large and well-lit. There were two small grocery stores within a few minute's walk. Overall value was good.
What could be improved: The apartment was pretty dirty, as if it wasn't cleaned after the previous guests. There were crumbs under the kitchen table, random hairs in both bathrooms, and the downstairs bathroom sink and countertop were dirty. There were dead flies in the windowsills and a live spider in the closet. Overall the facility wasn't in great shape - there were a few holes in the walls, plus a broken TV and box collecting dust in the corner. The sheets in the downstairs bedroom were stained. There wasn't enough toilet paper, but we didn't bother contacting the host about this or the cleanliness issue.
Although the lack of cleanliness was troublesome, we thoroughly enjoyed visiting Warsaw. Just know what you may be getting into before booking.
We arrived after dark which made locating and opening the lock box a bit more challenging (that's on us). Keep in mind that if you have large luggage, you'll be bringing it up 3 flights of stairs, plus either up/down a spiral staircase to the bedrooms once you're in the apartment.
