Old Town Warsaw Joanna’s Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Old Town Warsaw Joanna’s Apartments on Rycerska Street, you immediately get that “I’m staying somewhere special” feeling. This four-star property sits right in the heart of Śródmieście — honestly, you can’t get more central than this in Warsaw. The building has that classic Polish charm, and when you step inside, there’s this immediate sense that someone actually cares about the details here. It’s not flashy or trying too hard, just genuinely welcoming in a way that makes you want to drop your bags and explore.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s what I love about the location — you’re literally steps away from everything that matters in Old Town, but you’re on a quieter street that doesn’t get the tourist chaos. Couples absolutely rave about this spot (they rate it 9.8, which honestly makes sense), and I can see why. You can walk to the Royal Castle in about three minutes, hit up the main square whenever you want, but still retreat to somewhere peaceful. The tram connections are right there too, so getting to other parts of the city is actually easy. Plus, there are these little local cafes nearby that most tourists never find.

The Apartment Experience

Each apartment feels like staying at a friend’s place — if your friend happened to have really good taste and knew how to make guests comfortable. The spaces are thoughtfully laid out, and you know what really impressed me? The beds are genuinely comfortable (guests consistently mention this, and they’re not wrong). There’s enough space to actually unpack and settle in, which makes such a difference when you’re staying more than a night or two. The kitchenette setup is practical too — not just for show, but actually useful if you want to grab some Polish groceries and have breakfast in.

What Sets It Apart

The thing about Joanna’s place is that it strikes this perfect balance between being in the thick of things and giving you space to breathe. You’re not dealing with hotel crowds or rigid schedules, but you’re also not sacrificing location or comfort. The property scored 9.7 for location, which honestly feels about right — I mean, when couples specifically seek this place out for romantic trips, that tells you something. The attention to detail shows up in small ways too, like having everything you actually need without cluttering up the space with stuff you don’t.

Why Guests Love It

People keep coming back here because it delivers on what Warsaw is really about — that mix of history, culture, and genuine Polish hospitality. You’re staying somewhere that feels authentic rather than touristy, but you’re not sacrificing any convenience. The 8.8 rating reflects what I experienced — it’s the kind of place where small things are done right, and you end up having a better trip because of where you chose to stay. Whether you’re here for the history, the food scene, or just to wander around one of Europe’s most underrated capitals, this gives you the perfect home base to do it from.

Reviews of Old Town Warsaw Joanna’s Apartments

  • Cosy apartment in perfect location – Nisan from Israel – July 21, 2025 (9/10)

    The location is incredible! Right in the heart of Warsaw Old Town. I was surprised to find the parking spot at the street relatively easy, close to the apartment.
    The host was very friendly and proactive. I received detailed and easily understandable video guide for check-in process.
    The apartment was totally ok for 4 people stay.

    What could be improved: The air conditioner is one-unit mobile a/c, which is hardly enough for one room, but wasn't sufficient for the second room. For our luck the night weather was not very hot, but during the summer day the a/c is not enough. If you are not travelling during summer months this a/c issue will not be a problem.
