PiwnaEU

Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve stayed at a lot of places in Warsaw over the years, and PiwnaEU honestly surprised me. It’s tucked right into the heart of Śródmieście on this narrow cobblestone street that most tourists walk past without even noticing. The building itself has that classic Warsaw character – you can tell it’s got stories to tell, but they’ve done a really nice job updating the inside without losing that old-world feel. When I first walked up to Piwna 3/5, I actually wasn’t sure I was in the right place because the entrance is pretty understated, but that’s sort of the charm of it. The lobby’s small but welcoming, and the staff genuinely seemed to know the neighborhood inside and out – they pointed me toward this little café around the corner that I never would have found otherwise.

The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid 3-star place, but honestly, they punch above their weight. Nothing fancy, but everything works and it’s clean – I mean really clean, not just “hotel clean.” The beds are actually comfortable (I’m picky about this), and the bathrooms are updated enough that you’re not dealing with weird Soviet-era plumbing quirks that you sometimes get in this part of the city. What really got me though was how quiet it stays at night. You’re literally in the middle of everything – the Old Town’s practically next door, and you can walk to the Royal Castle in maybe five minutes – but once you close the windows, it’s surprisingly peaceful. I guess being on a smaller street helps with that. The Wi-Fi worked fine for what I needed, and there’s actually decent water pressure, which… well, if you’ve traveled around Eastern Europe much, you know that’s not always a given.

Here’s the thing that really sold me on this place – the location is just perfect if you want to actually experience Warsaw like someone who lives here. You’re close enough to all the tourist stuff that you can hit the major sights without much effort, but you’re also right in a real neighborhood where people actually go about their daily lives. There’s a small grocery store literally across the street, and you’re walking distance from some genuinely good restaurants that aren’t just tourist traps. I ended up coming back here on my next trip to Warsaw, which honestly says a lot because I usually like to try different places. The value is really solid too – you’re getting that prime Śródmieście location without paying Old Town prices. Sure, it’s not going to blow you away with luxury amenities or anything like that, but sometimes you just want a comfortable, well-run place where you can drop your bags and explore the city. That’s exactly what PiwnaEU delivers.

Reviews

• Great comfy apartment in a cool historic location. – Paul from United Kingdom – August 8, 2025 (9/10)

  Amazing location in the old town, in a historic-feeling building. Apartment itself was clean and comfy too. Good communication from the host.
  
  What could be improved: Shower was a bit hard to work out, but was fine once we did.

• Great apartment in a great location – Nevena from Netherlands – July 7, 2025 (10/10)

  Great apartment in a great location. We could check in earlier which was amazing 🙂
  
  What could be improved: Nothing, everything was great. I would only add recommendation for a coffee machine

• Wonderful – Elza from Latvia – June 6, 2025 (9/10)

  Great location – bedroom windows are not facing the street, so no loud noises in the night
  
  What could be improved: Only downside is that the big showerhead was a little bit broken, but the others work, so it was not a problem 🙂

• Great stay in a perfect location! – Sandra from Lithuania – March 4, 2025 (9/10)

  The apartment’s location is absolutely perfect—everything is within walking distance, making it super convenient for exploring the city. The hosts were exceptionally informative.
  
  The apartment itself is comfortable and well-equipped, with very cozy and comfortable beds, ensuring a great night’s sleep. The only small downside is that the plumbing could use some updates—the shower has a bit of a quirky feature, with water spraying upwards like a fountain! However, this was a minor issue in an otherwise great stay.
  
  Overall, a solid choice for accommodation, and we would definitely consider coming back!

• Lovely place to stay for families – Minnie07 from Romania – December 20, 2024 (10/10)

  The accommodation is right in the middle of the old town. Within an arm's length you have access to places that will make the outing memorable for everyone, including the little ones! It was clean, warm (a bit of draft at the windows but that is manageable), well equipped and comfortable – almost like a second home. The communication with Ms. Bienias was very good, she is a gracious and helpful host.
  
  Thank you for a wonderful time in Warsaw!
