Old Town Home

Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve stayed at plenty of places in Warsaw’s Old Town, and Old Town Home really hits that sweet spot between location and authenticity. The address says it all – you’re literally on the main square (Rynek Starego Miasta), which honestly can be a double-edged sword. During the day, you’ll hear the clip-clop of horse carriages and street musicians, but it actually quiets down nicely in the evenings when the tour groups head back to their buses. The building itself has that classic Warsaw charm – I mean, it’s been reconstructed like most of the Old Town after the war, but they’ve done it right. Walking up to apartment 5 on the second floor, you get this feeling like you’re staying in someone’s actual home rather than a sterile hotel room.

The thing about this place is that it’s genuinely a 3-star experience, but the location bumps it up significantly in terms of value. You’re steps away from the Royal Castle (literally a two-minute walk), and if you head down Świętojańska Street, you’ll hit all the little amber shops and pierogi joints that the locals actually frequent – not just the touristy spots right on the square. I appreciated that the apartment felt lived-in without being worn down, if that makes sense. The kitchen actually has proper coffee (not just instant), and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. Parking is… well, it’s Old Town Warsaw, so forget about driving here. But the tram stop at Plac Zamkowy is right there, and you can get anywhere in the city pretty easily.

What really sold me on the place was the little details – decent water pressure in the shower (trust me, this matters in older Warsaw buildings), windows that actually keep the sound down when you need to sleep, and honestly, the host seemed to know the neighborhood inside and out. They pointed me toward this tiny milk bar on Piwna Street that I never would’ve found otherwise. The 8.1 rating feels about right – it’s not luxury, but it’s solid and authentic. During summer, the square can get pretty busy with wedding photos and festivals, but there’s something magical about having your morning coffee while watching Warsaw wake up below. Just don’t expect hotel-style room service or a concierge desk – this is more like borrowing a friend’s apartment, which is exactly what makes it special.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Warsaw through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best neighborhoods for experiencing the city’s rich history and modern development.

Reviews

• Wonderful – Vanderstok from United States – August 2, 2025 (9/10)

  Location and very nice facilities!!
  
  What could be improved: We were uncomfortable to open the windows since we had small children and there was no screen or protection from falling out. Also the wifi was mediocre but did work

• Good value for money – Ruslan from Canada – July 31, 2025 (7/10)

  Right in the city centre, historical part of the City
  
  What could be improved: Bathroom is located separately and shared with the other people 🙁

• Friendly host and good value for money. Would stay there again. – Cornelius from Denmark – June 17, 2025 (9/10)

  Great communication with the host, simple access and good facilities.
  
  What could be improved: Lack of black-out curtains on a window that is 24/7 brightly illuminated. I could improvise a fix, but it would have been great if the owner thought of that themselves.
  
  TV did not work too well. I am guessing due to poor internet connection.

• Would stay here again – loved the location and the room was very clean – happy about the stay – John from Vietnam – May 15, 2025 (9/10)

  Location is everything — plus a nice room — beautiful view and lots of history
  
  What could be improved: Too many complicated codes — 3 separate ones to get in your door – could make it a little easier — phone ran out of battery — so not remembering the codes was difficult— also an adapter would be nice 🙂

• Very nice – Gabi from Poland – March 28, 2025 (9/10)

  Perfect location
  
  What could be improved: There was no soap in the bathroom

• Very Good – Edita from United Kingdom – March 8, 2025 (8/10)

  The view from the window is of course amazing. And the rooms are beautifully designed and look cosy. They also left me a bottle of water in the room and some mugs and glasses. I thought these were nice touches. 🙏🏼
  
  What could be improved: If you need to rely on good internet during your stay, this might be the issue. I had to end up using my own data. Also, I came when the ice skating rink was still there, so they play loud music until 9pm, but from 9pm it was fine and really quiet 😊 Having said that I was visiting during the work days, not the weekend. Not sure if that makes a difference 😊 Also, when someone was using a shower or perhaps there was something else that caused it, there was some sort of a pipe sound in my room, which was sometimes irritating. I think the place is great for a short stay like a night or max too, but not for longer stays 😊

• Good – Parkinson from United Kingdom – December 15, 2024 (7/10)

  Location
  
  What could be improved: Shared bathroom

• excellent place to stay in old town – Robert from United States – November 23, 2024 (9/10)

  this is an excellent place to stay. I always stay here, in the large room, when in Warsaw. location is incredible!

• Wonderful – Bartosz from Romania – November 2, 2024 (9/10)

  View from the window.

• Pleasant, central location to take in the sights of Warsaw – Mark from United Kingdom – October 21, 2024 (8/10)

  Very central location on the Old Town Square so within easy walking distance of main attractions or to get on a tram to go further afield.
  All-in-one room with double bed, sofa, television, kettle and microwave if you don't want to eat out.
  The hosts communicated necessary information to me and checked in everything was all right.
  I would recommend some restaurants within easy walking distance: Restauracja Świętoszek Tartuffe; Gospoda Kwiaty Polskie; and Sambal Restauracja Indonezyjska
  
  What could be improved: The en-suite was remote so I had to access it via a shared lobby which was inconvenient, particularly in the middle of the night.
