MarOks Żółwia Apartment

MarOks Żółwia Apartment Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to MarOks Żółwia Apartment, I’ll be honest — I wasn’t expecting much from the Bielany district. But you know what? This four-star place completely changed my perspective on staying outside central Warsaw. The building sits quietly on Żółwia street, and there’s something refreshingly residential about the whole setup. What immediately caught my attention was the dedicated parking spot right on site — and it’s free, which is honestly a game-changer in a city where parking can cost you a fortune.

The Neighborhood Reality

Bielany isn’t touristy, and that’s actually its biggest strength. You’re living like locals do here, with proper grocery stores, cafes where people actually work on laptops, and tree-lined streets that feel worlds away from the tourist crowds. The metro connection isn’t terrible either — I mean, it takes about 20 minutes to reach the Old Town, but the trains run frequently enough. Couples seem to absolutely love this area (the feedback I’ve seen puts it at 9.6 for romantic getaways), and I get why — there’s something intimate about having your own little corner of the city.

The Space Itself

The apartment feels more like staying at a well-organized friend’s place than a typical hotel room. Everything’s been thought through without being overly fancy — the kitchen actually has proper cookware if you want to grab ingredients from the local market, and the living area gives you space to spread out. The WiFi works reliably (I tested it extensively while catching up on work), and the whole place stays surprisingly quiet despite being in a residential building. Storage space is generous too, which matters when you’re staying more than just a night or two.

What Actually Works

The location rating of 8.8 isn’t just numbers on a screen — it reflects something real about how this place fits into Warsaw life. You’re close enough to reach the center when you want culture and nightlife, but far enough out to experience the city’s everyday rhythm. The free parking alone saves you probably 20-30 euros per day compared to central hotels, and that’s money you can spend on better meals or experiences. Plus, having an actual apartment setup means you can do laundry, store leftovers, and generally live more comfortably during longer stays.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

What strikes me most about MarOks Żółwia Apartment is how it solves the classic Warsaw accommodation dilemma — you get space, convenience, and value without sacrificing access to the city center. The 8.8 overall rating reflects guests who appreciate practical comfort over flashy amenities. It’s particularly perfect for couples who want their own space to retreat to after exploring the city, or business travelers who need a proper workspace and reliable internet. The apartment-style setup means you’re not cramped into a standard hotel room, and honestly, after a few days of sightseeing, having a real living room to relax in makes all the difference.

• Jeśli będzie dostępny, to na pewno wrócę 😉 – Joanna from Poland – April 21, 2025 (9/10)

  Lokalizacja – bardzo blisko lasu, okolica domów jednorodzinnych; cisza i spokój. Wygodny taras przydatny latem. Zmywarka czysta. Wszystkie dostępne naczynia kuchenne i dobre oświetlenie.
  
  What could be improved: Przydałby się opis jak znaleźć parking 😉

• Exceptional – Anna from Poland – March 23, 2025 (10/10)

  Mieszkaliśmy w apt 2 tygodnie ze względu na remont w naszym mieszkaniu. Mieszkanie wyposażone super, nawet na tak długi pobyt. Zmywarka, pralka, duży smart tv z aplikacjami do których można się zalogować mając własne konta. Miejsce parkingowe w garażu podziemnym, ale i na zewnątrz możliwość wygodnego parkowania. Cudowny widok z balkonu na lotnisko Bemowo, ale cicho boska przestrzeń. Polecam nawet na dłuższy pobyt taki jak nasz. Będziemy polecać znajomym na wypad do Waw. Dziękujemy, aż żal było wracać do własnego domu nieopodal 😄 👍
  
  What could be improved: Nie było takiej rzeczy 😊

• It would be nearly perfect if little issues would be fixed – Robertas from Lithuania – August 8, 2024 (9/10)

  Great apartment, comfortable and cozy with a great balcony. We did enjoy staying.
  
  What could be improved: Could be a little more prepared, cleaned, because it wasn't really looked after for coming. Yes there were enough clean towels etc. But the floor (to say the least) wasn't even swept away, dust weren't even tried to clean. Staff was ok, but guys if you're reading please note – the code to enter territory worked fine but not for the entry door of the house. So if it weren't for neighbor who let us inside we wouldn't be able to get inside to get the keys. Because assistant didn't answer the phone, they did answer email but just repeated same code, which wasn't working. I don't know what we would have done if we came late in the evening. All the other stuff was fine

• Всё хорошо – Oleksii from Poland – January 7, 2024 (10/10)

  Было всё чисто, всё понравилось, легко разобраться с поселением и парко местом👍
  
  What could be improved: В ванной плохой слив

• Disappointing service. Pricing and deposit policy close to scam practices – Marcin from Poland – August 15, 2023 (1/10)

  Good location – quiet and green area around. Good for having a walk. Well equipped kitchen. Appartment well equipped as well.
  
  What could be improved: Misleading information about pets allowance, hidden costs, unexpected deposit and very poor service regarding paying deposit back. We have booked Appartment as it was pet friendly. When we have reached out property we got message that pets are not allowed. After our claim pets were allowed with extra payment 300 PLN and damage deposit 1000 PLN. We have agreed that deposit will be returned day after leaving Appartment. It was not returned. Service was ensuring that this is going to be returned soon but nothing concrete. After several contacts I’ve claimed to booking.com customer service and after their intervention deposit was returned immediately. Overall I do not recommend this Appartment due to very disappointing customer service not to say scam policy.

• Great apartment, cozy and well-equipped. – Kateryna from Ukraine – April 9, 2023 (10/10)

  Cozy and well-equipped apartment. An underground parking key was waiting for us inside the room which is convenient. Extra kitchen appliances available including coffee machine with all required staff, hot chocolate and complimentary water. Washing machine and even iron were provided. Pets friendly. Nice big balcony and view.
  
  What could be improved: There is local airport easily seen from the balcony with small aircrafts taking off and landing close by, though the noise is minor and you almost don’t hear it.
