Mennica Residence Chic Apartment

Hotel Description

So I stayed at Mennica Residence Chic Apartment last spring, and honestly? It’s one of those places that grows on you. The building sits right on Grzybowska, which – if you know Warsaw at all – puts you smack in the middle of Wola’s transformation from old industrial district to this surprisingly hip neighborhood. I mean, you’ve got the Museum of Life under Communism literally around the corner, and you can walk to the Palace of Culture in about fifteen minutes if you don’t mind dodging the construction crews (there’s always construction in this part of town, but that’s Warsaw for you).

The apartment itself has this clean, minimalist vibe that actually works – none of that fake luxury nonsense you get in some places. The kitchen’s properly equipped, which matters if you’re planning to grab groceries from the Żabka downstairs or hit up Hala Mirowska market on weekends. What really surprised me was how quiet it gets at night, considering you’re on a fairly busy street. The windows must be decent quality because I barely heard the trams rumbling by on Towarowa. Speaking of trams – the Rondo Daszyńskiego stop is maybe a seven-minute walk, and from there you can get pretty much anywhere in the city without dealing with Warsaw’s… let’s call it “creative” driving culture.

The building’s got this interesting history too – it used to be connected to the old Warsaw Mint, hence the name Mennica. You’ll notice some of the original industrial touches if you pay attention walking through the lobby. Check-in was smooth enough, though the reception isn’t 24-hour, so don’t show up at midnight expecting someone to hand you keys. The elevator’s a bit slow, but honestly, that’s half the charm of staying in these converted buildings. One thing to note – if you’re here during summer, the top floors can get pretty warm since the AC isn’t the most powerful, but opening the windows at night usually does the trick. The neighborhood really comes alive in the evenings too, especially around the Browary Warszawskie area where all the new restaurants and bars have been popping up. It’s maybe a fifteen-minute walk, but worth it if you want to see how young Varsovians actually spend their time instead of just hitting the tourist spots in Old Town.

Reviews

• The place looks like the building of Harvey specter, location is great – Dragos from Netherlands – August 6, 2023 (9/10)

  What could be improved: Not enough toilet paper for 4 days, we had to go to buy it and also no paper in the kitchen. Breakfast could have been something more nice

• Exceptional – Gercik from Ireland – October 28, 2023 (10/10)

  Great locations, perfect size for a couple, I lived that we had breakfasts delivered – it doesn't cost much, but it was a nice touch!
  The location is amazing. I usually stayed in the other parts of Warsaw, but this was much better. So many food, drinks options around. The Norblin Factory 🏭(Fabryka Norblina) is just 5 mins away on foot. We lived it.
  
  What could be improved: There was a small issue with enyering the code downstairs – it was oversensitive and was getting double digits, so a few times we spent a good few minutes trying to get in. But luckily we always manged to get in.

• gone from good to terrible – Sergey from United Kingdom – October 30, 2022 (4/10)

  location and we stayed in the building many times before. But will think twice next time
  
  What could be improved: the apartment from these particular owners is neglected. The kitchen table was broken, the light was flickering. The bathroom flooded. there are half curtains in each room loose. I won’t stay in this residence again unfortunately due to this owner

• Mieszkanie bardzo dobre na krótki pobyt w Warszawie, ale nie warto brać śniadania. – Ewelina from Poland – September 15, 2023 (7/10)

  Lokalizacja idealna na zwiedzanie. Bardzo wygodne łóżka. Ładny wystrój mieszkania.
  
  What could be improved: Fatalne śniadanie – catering doniesiony rano pod drzwi ze starym chlebem i nieświeżymi pomidorkami. Nie polecam brać opcji ze śniadaniem.

• Schönes Apartment, aber bitte ohne Frühstück! – Marion from Germany – August 21, 2023 (8/10)

  Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll.
  
  What could be improved: Die Frühstücksbuchung war eine Katastrophe. Ungefragt bekamen wir süßes Frühstück bestehend aus Joghurt, Marmelade,  Müsli und Saft. Das liest sich korrigieren, und wir bekamen herzhaftes. Bereits am darauf folgenden gab es aber wieder Süßes, was wir nicht essen.  am Sonntag gab es gleich gar kein Frühstück.  auf unsere Hinweise reagierte des Personal gar nicht oder 6 Stunden später. Kaffee oder Tee oder Schokolade gab es gleich gar nicht zum Frühstück.
  Seifen und Duschgelspender waren leer. Geschirr Handtuch, Fehlanzeige.
  Am letzten Tag Auscheck, Zeit 11:00 Uhr, wurde bereits um zehn der Strom abgestellt 
  Alles nur Kleinigkeiten, aber in Summe ärgerlich.

• excellent – Cedric from France – January 29, 2023 (9/10)

  équipements, sécurité
  
  What could be improved: règles contraignantes , étant fumeur devoir descendre car balcon interdit et code à taper trois fois car pas de pass, légèrement pénible

• Schön und sauber aber zu wenig Ausstattung. – Andy from Germany – October 5, 2022 (7/10)

  Gute Lage, 10 Minuten zu Fuß zum Hauptbahnhof Centralna. Modernes Apartment, schönes Bad, schöne Küche, Großer Balkon, Smart TV mit YouTube, Prime Video etc. Stabiles und schnelles Internet. Unkomplizierter Check In.
  
  What could be improved: zu wenig Ausstattung zum normalen Wohnen (wenig Geschirr, nur 3 Löffel, aber nur ein einziger Spülmaschinen-Tab, kein Spülmittel für Handwäsche, kein Geschirrhandtuch, nur ein einziger Müllbeutel). TV Receiver reagiert nicht (Fernseher nur über Internet benutzbar). Tischplatte ist locker, keine Balkonmöbel zum Sitzen.

• Miło, spędzony czas, polecam. – Łukasz from Poland – May 3, 2023 (8/10)

  Ładny, schludny apartament położony niedaleko centrum Warszawy.

• Good – Grzegorz from Poland – June 13, 2025 (7/10)

  What could be improved: Brak mydła w dozownikach, zamiast tego mikrotubka na jedno mycie, przed zameldowaniem obowiązkowo trzeba kupić mydło – widocznie właściciela nie stać kupić w markecie najtańszego mydła za 20zł za baniak 5l. Połowy zasłon nie ma. Stolik uszkodzony, trzeba uważać aby blat się nie przewrócił w czasie jedzenia. Ogólnie nie jest źle ale w tych pieniądzach to już 100 razy lepiej pójść do hotelu.

• Exceptional – Joanna from Poland – November 30, 2023 (10/10)

  Powierzchnia apartamentu, widok z okna i przede wszystkim lokalizacja
