Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Old Town Colourful Apartment on Bugaj Street, you immediately understand why this place has such a stellar location score. I mean, you’re literally steps away from Warsaw’s most charming cobblestone streets, and the building itself has that authentic Polish character that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something special. The four-star property sits right in Śródmieście — honestly, it doesn’t get more central than this without paying premium hotel prices.
The Heart of Warsaw
What strikes me most about staying here is how effortlessly you can explore Warsaw on foot. The Old Town Square is practically your backyard, and I found myself wandering over for morning coffee or evening strolls without even thinking about it. You know what’s really nice? The Royal Castle and those Instagram-worthy colorful townhouses are so close you’ll probably walk past them multiple times a day. The location feedback isn’t exaggerating — couples really do love it here, and I can see why with all those romantic evening walks along the medieval walls.
The Apartment Experience
The apartment itself lives up to its “colourful” name with thoughtful touches that feel both modern and authentically Polish. There’s a proper kitchen setup that actually works if you want to grab fresh ingredients from the nearby markets — and trust me, the local bread and cheese are worth the effort. The space feels more like staying in a friend’s well-appointed place rather than a sterile hotel room, which honestly makes all the difference when you’re trying to settle in after long days of sightseeing.
Neighborhood Gems
Here’s something the booking sites don’t tell you — you’re surrounded by some of Warsaw’s best kept secrets. There’s this tiny pierogi place around the corner that locals actually frequent, and the morning farmers market on weekends becomes part of your routine rather than a tourist obligation. The Vistula River embankment is perfect for morning runs, and I actually discovered some great craft beer spots just by wandering the nearby streets. It’s that kind of neighborhood where you start feeling like a temporary resident instead of just another tourist.
Why Guests Love It
The 8.3 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve stayed here — it’s that sweet spot between authentic local experience and modern comfort. You get the independence of having your own space with a kitchenette, but you’re also positioned to experience Warsaw like someone who actually lives here. The excellent location score of 9.7 isn’t just numbers on a page; it translates to those spontaneous evening walks through the Old Town when the day-trippers have gone home and the streets belong to you and the locals again. For the price point, you’re getting something genuinely special in one of Europe’s most underrated capitals.
Warsaw hotels provide guests with comfortable accommodations in Poland’s capital, known for its remarkable post-war reconstruction and dynamic business environment.

Guest Reviews
Artistic place in good location
Wonderful location, very artistic and cosy apartment, clean and pleasant
What could be improved: There is no air conditioner in the apartment, so I assume that it could be hot when the temperature is high.
Very good value for the money you pay for this apartment.
It is very urban-like, there’s much light in the dining room and a wonderful view to beautiful old buildings.
What could be improved: When showering, bathroom becomes a pool as a bathtube has no sufficient curtains.

What could be improved: More different type glases
Jestem zadowolony - spędziliśmy przedświąteczny czas, blisko starówki, zarazem w spokojnej okolicy
Bardzo dobra lokalizacja, spokój i cisza, wystrój wnętrza-nowoczesność przeplatana z PRL-em. Bardzo czysto i estetycznie. Bardzo klimatyczny kominek, zainspirował nas desing salonu z aneksem. Super rozwiązanie z "kozetką" (mebel domowy) przy oknie w sypialni. Idealne miejsce nieco odosobnione gdzie można siedzieć przy oknie i rokoszować się kawką o poranku patrząc na park fontann oraz Wisłę, czy wieczorem czytając dobrą książkę przy herbatce w zimowe, jesienne wieczory przy grzejniku.
What could be improved: Specyficzny zapach chyba dla podłóg parkietowych albo jakiejś wilgoci. Niemniej po chwili można było się przyzwyczaić i nie było to odczuwalne.
W takiej cenie mógłby być jakiś pakiet TV, bo tv naziemna w apartamencie to tylko 5 programów, bez podstawowych. Oczywiście nie podróżuje się po to, aby oglądać telewizję, ale warto o tym wspomnieć, bo nieraz dzieciaki bajki lubią czy nawet jakieś tv info puścić w tle.
Zaznaczam, że są to DROBNE mankamenty, które nie dla wszystkich są istotne, ale warto zwrócić uwagę.
Good value for money right at the edge of old town
Comfortable and clean, tastefully decorated.
All things for a quick meal were there, but being so close to the old town we didnt prepare our own
What could be improved: 3rd floor, no elevator
Very Good
Lovely stylish apartment, comfortable and quirky
What could be improved: As a senior , the stairs. But was a very convenient location and had a balcony.
Amazing stay in a beautiful apartment
Amazing stay in a beautiful apartment. The place is cozy and beautifully decorated with great attention to the smallest detail. Doesn’t have a/c but a fan was more than enough. Impeccably clean with fast internet and comfortable bed. We enjoyed a glass of wine on the balcony after the busy day in Warsaw. Highly recommended! Will be back again 😊
What could be improved: Nothing.
Very Good
Location 10/10. Nice when you get welcome snacks pack
What could be improved: I would recommend to clean spider webs. Its all over appartment, everywhere: bathroom, living room, bedroom. Doesnt look nice.
