Marszałkowska White & Black Apartment

Hotel Description

You know what? The Marszałkowska White & Black Apartment is one of those places that grows on you. I’ll be honest – when I first walked up to the building on Marszałkowska Street, I wasn’t blown away by the exterior, but once you’re inside, it’s actually pretty solid for what you’re paying. The black and white theme isn’t just a clever name either – they really committed to it throughout the space, which I found kind of charming in a minimalist way. The apartment setup means you get more room to spread out than your typical hotel, and honestly, after a long day wandering around Śródmieście, having a proper living area to decompress in was exactly what I needed.

Location-wise, you’re right in the thick of things without being in the absolute chaos of the Old Town tourist crowds. Marszałkowska is this major artery that cuts through central Warsaw, so you’ve got trams running regularly (which locals will tell you is the best way to get around anyway), and you’re walking distance to both the Palace of Culture – love it or hate it, you can’t miss it – and some really decent restaurants that aren’t just serving pierogi to tourists. I mean, don’t get me wrong, the pierogi around here are good too, but there’s this whole food scene happening in Śródmieście that a lot of visitors miss. The street can get a bit noisy during rush hour since it’s such a main thoroughfare, but by evening it settles down considerably.

What I appreciated most was how the place felt lived-in rather than sterile – the kind of apartment where you can actually picture yourself staying for a week or two. The kitchen setup is practical enough that you could grab groceries from the Żabka down the street (there’s always a Żabka down the street in Warsaw) and make breakfast instead of hunting for café options every morning. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward, none of that awkward hovering around a lobby situation. Sure, it’s a 3-star place with a 7.3 rating, so you’re not getting luxury touches, but the fundamentals are solid – good wifi, decent water pressure, and the heating actually works properly, which honestly matters more than fancy toiletries when you’re dealing with Warsaw winters. The whole experience felt authentic in a way that bigger chain hotels in the area sometimes don’t – like you’re getting a genuine slice of how people actually live in this part of the city rather than some sanitized tourist version of it.

Reviews

• Good option to stay in Warsaw – Valentyna from Canada – March 9, 2025 (8/10)

  An excellent place to stay in Warsaw. The location is ideal; a tram stop is only 3 minutes away, and a metro station is only a 10-minute walk. The apartment was very clean and cozy, with all of the conveniences and furniture you'd need for your stay. The host was really polite and gave us clear directions.
  
  What could be improved: There are just two things to note about our stay: noise from the street might bother you at night (ambulance car sirens and trams). And if you want to sleep beyond 9 a.m., be prepared to hear someone walking on heels in the apartments above you.

• you get your money’s worth – Ionut from Romania – August 5, 2025 (6/10)

  good positioning, pretty modern
  
  What could be improved: we arrived at 16:00 which was the check in hour mentioned after being told that no early check-in can be made for us. everything was a mess, pillows and blankets on the floor, dirty bathroom, a sign that the apartment wasn’t cleaned after the previous visitors. at 16:30 the cleaning lady came and mentioned something about an email that we shoud’ve received saying that the apartment wasn t ready =))). of course there was no email, probably she must’ve overslept as she was kinda dizzy. Anyways we checked in at 18:00 after she was done with the cleaning. When it was time to leave we asked for a checkout at 12:00 instead of 11:00 as a way to pay us for the 2h lost at the check-in and to help us as our train wouldn’t leave until 15:00. The answer was no because, and I cite, “We have to make sure the next guests have the apartment ready before check-in”, then why wasn’t mine ready before check-in?

• Great opportunity to improve – Luz from Spain – July 8, 2025 (7/10)

  Location
  
  What could be improved: I filtered places with 2 bathrooms since we are a group of 5 people. It happened to be only 1 bathroom divided into 2 rooms: a toilet in one and a shower in the other room. The ventilation didn't work out and no windows in the bathroom, so imagine the situation for 5 people 😳.
  They need to put another 🗑 trash can in 1 of the "bathrooms "
  Also something in the shower to put the personal care products.
  No air conditioning and only 1 fan in the whole apartment for 3 bedrooms .
  Beds should be separated rather than double 😒

• Perfect location and cleaning but check the third room if you will book for more than 4 people – İrem from Turkey – May 21, 2024 (10/10)

  Location is perfect and easy access to center and everywhere. And it was super clean and cool. Also it was fully equipped as it was mentioned in the descriptions.
  
  What could be improved: It shows like 3 bedroom but one bedroom’s enterence is inside of the other bedroom which would be a problem if we would be 3 couple staying or more people basically. So that 3rd room is actually might be better for children whose parents wants to be close to them

• Nice spacious apartment in center. – Annemarie from Germany – December 4, 2023 (9/10)

  Its very central. Check in went smoothly. The apartment was very clean and well equipped. Questions were answered fast and helpful. I was there in winter and the apartment was nicely warm. There's a lift. You only have to walk up a few stairs to get to it. I can recommend it.
  
  What could be improved: The description said that there are 2 bathrooms, but there's really just 1 bathroom ( shower + sink) and then there's a separate toilet room (toilet + sink) next to it.

• Wonderful – Antonio from Brazil – October 4, 2024 (9/10)

  It was a little difficult to find the keys, as the address does not indicate that the keys are on the side of the building.
  We missed the floor cloth and the shower drain was a bit clogged.

• Very Good – Wiktor from Poland – August 5, 2025 (8/10)

  Lokalizacja, wykończenie obiektu
  
  What could be improved: Nie było takiej rzeczy

• Very Good – Kamila from United Kingdom – August 15, 2024 (8/10)

  bardzo czysto i schludnie. Lokalizacja apartamentu idealna, z okna widać pałac kultury.
  
  What could be improved: Obiekt nie posiada dwóch Łazienek jak to jest podane w opisie, byliśmy większą grupą i zależało nam na dwóch Łazienkach. Są dwa pomieszczenia, w jednym jest toaleta z umywalką a w drugim prysznic z umywalką. Bardzo mylący
  opis.

• Very Good – Marina from France – August 21, 2023 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Il manque four et four à micro ondes

• Poza tym wszystko ok. – Robert from Poland – August 4, 2025 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Drzwi wejściowe jak do schronu. Takie zimne, nieprzyjemne.
  Nie ma to wpływu na przebywanie wewnątrz.
