Old Town Market Place Apartment

Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve stayed in a lot of places in Warsaw, and this apartment on Freta Street really gets it right. The location is honestly perfect if you want to be in the thick of Old Town without dealing with the tourist chaos on the main square every single morning. Freta runs parallel to all the action, so you’re literally a two-minute walk from the Royal Castle and Market Square, but you can actually sleep at night – which, trust me, isn’t always guaranteed in this part of the city. The building itself has that classic Warsaw charm (it’s one of the reconstructed ones from after the war), and while the entrance might look a bit unassuming from the street, once you’re inside, it feels properly boutique without being pretentious about it.

The apartment itself surprised me – I mean, you expect these Old Town places to be cramped or weirdly laid out, but this one actually makes sense. The kitchen is small but functional (I managed to make proper coffee every morning, which is my baseline test), and the living area has these big windows that let in tons of light during the day. What I really appreciated was the attention to detail – good WiFi that actually works, proper blackout curtains, and a shower with decent water pressure. The decor walks that fine line between modern and traditional Polish style without feeling like a museum or a generic Ikea showroom. One thing though – if you’re traveling with a lot of luggage, just know there’s no elevator, but honestly, most buildings in this area don’t have them, so it comes with the territory.

Here’s what really sold me on the place: the neighborhood knowledge you get just by being there. Your morning coffee run takes you past this tiny bakery on Nowomiejska that locals actually use (not the tourist traps), and you’ll figure out pretty quickly that the best pierogi in the area are at this unassuming spot called Zapiecek – but not the one everyone knows about, the smaller one tucked away on Piwna Street. The 4-star rating feels right – it’s not trying to be the Ritz, but everything works properly and feels thoughtfully put together. At an 8.5 rating, you’re getting solid value, especially considering you’re basically living in a UNESCO World Heritage site. The only minor downside is that weekend nights can get a bit lively (you’re in the heart of Warsaw’s nightlife district, after all), but weekdays are peaceful, and honestly, the energy of the area is part of why you’d want to stay here in the first place. If you’re the type who wants to walk everywhere and soak up the atmosphere rather than just check monuments off a list, this place gets it.

• Great location, super stylish apartment! – Steve from United Kingdom – March 21, 2023 (9/10)

  The apartment is in a super location for the Warsaw Old Town. It is just tucked away enough to escape the main square and the hustle bustle and noise, but is close enough to be in walking distance of anywhere you might want to be. The pull down bed is a super versatile option for guests travelling in small groups, like we did! The decor is super stylish.
  
  What could be improved: The bathroom has a few small issues that the owner/renter could do with investigating. The drain for the shower was either clogged, or has not been installed correctly, as water was very slow to drain away. As the bathroom is actually a wet room, this might have the potential to impact others in your group wanting to use the toilet. The tap on the sink has also been damaged and not maintained over a period of time.
  
  The WiFi was really patchy and very very slow, but honestly, we spent only a little time using it, so this was a minor issue for us.
  
  Some of the furniture is showing signs of wear, but nothing at all major! Just average wear and tear that would be expected with short term lets of this type across many places!
  
  All of these issues were fairly minor (bathroom more an inconvenience than a major issue). I am sure that the owner/renter/management can easily resolve these issues with quick and easy solutions.
