Labo Apartment Nowolipie

Hotel Description

Honestly, when I first walked up to Labo Apartment Nowolipie, I wasn’t sure what to expect – it’s tucked into this classic Warsaw building on the third floor, and you know how those old Śródmieście staircases can be. But once you’re up there, it’s actually quite charming in that understated way that a lot of these converted apartment hotels manage to pull off. The location is what really got me though – Nowolipie Street puts you right in the heart of things without being on one of those tourist-packed main drags. You’re literally a five-minute walk from the Palace of Culture (love it or hate it, it’s useful for getting your bearings), and the Old Town is close enough that you’ll find yourself wandering over there pretty much every evening. I mean, who doesn’t want to grab pierogi at one of those little spots near the market square?

The apartment itself feels lived-in rather than sterile, which I appreciate – there’s something about places that try too hard to be hotel-perfect that just doesn’t sit right with me. The rooms are clean and functional, though I’ll be honest, the furnishings aren’t going to win any design awards. But you’ve got everything you actually need: decent wifi (crucial for staying in touch or planning your next day), a little kitchenette that’s perfect for making coffee in the morning or heating up some of that amazing bread you’ll inevitably buy from the bakery downstairs. Speaking of which – the street level has this great little café that locals actually use, not just tourists, which is always a good sign. The noise level is pretty reasonable too, especially considering you’re in the city center. Sure, you’ll hear some trams rumbling by and the occasional late-night conversation drifting up from the street, but it’s more like a gentle urban lullaby than anything disruptive.

What I really liked was how the staff (well, the one person I dealt with during check-in) actually seemed to know the neighborhood. She pointed me toward this fantastic milk bar about two blocks away that I never would have found otherwise – you know those places where babcias still come for their daily lunch and everything costs about three złoty? Pure gold. The 7.1 rating makes sense to me; it’s not luxury by any stretch, but it’s solid and authentic in a way that a lot of chain hotels just aren’t. If you’re the type of traveler who wants to feel like you’re actually staying in Warsaw rather than some international bubble, this works really well. Just don’t expect a concierge or room service – this is more about having a comfortable base while you explore one of Europe’s most underrated capitals. The tram connections from nearby are excellent too, so getting out to Wilanów or even Praga is pretty straightforward when you want to venture beyond the center.

• Ogólnie na plus w stosunku jakości do ceny (jedyny większy minus to brak papieru, duże faux pais) – Piotr from Poland – October 15, 2024 (7/10)

  Dobry układ mieszkania (oddzielne pokoje, kuchnia, łazienka, przedpokój) i dość przestronne (na 5 osób na jedną noc w zupełności wystarczające).
  Jest lodówka, czajnik, suszarka – czyli najpotrzebniejsze sprzęty.
  Na plus dobra lokalizacja (3 przystanki tramwajem z dworca centralnego).
  
  What could be improved: Brak papieru toaletowego – duży minus, bo to podstawa organizacja noclegu. Brakowało też ręcznika papierowego w kuchni, ale to jeszcze do przeżycia.

• Very Good – Jarosław from Poland – July 16, 2025 (8/10)

  Super lokalizacja – Blisko Centrum.

• Very Good – Mercedes from Spain – April 19, 2025 (8/10)

  El apartamento estaba bien aunque el baño era un poco pequeño. La ubicación genial.
  
  What could be improved: La vecina de al lado estuvo molestando toda la estancia hasta tal punto de no estar agusto intentando estar todo el tiempo lo más en silencio posible (íbamos con un bebé).

• В целом, все хорошо – Irina from Lithuania – May 18, 2025 (9/10)

  Все было как в описании. Основной плюс – очень близко к центру города и в целом хороший район.
  Чисто, аккуратно.
  
  What could be improved: Не очень удобная ванная комната. Очень маленькая и нет занавески в душе, поэтому все вокруг было залито водой.
