Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Pod arkadami on Nowy Świat, you’ll find yourself on one of Warsaw’s most vibrant streets — honestly, the location alone makes this four-star apartment worth considering. I mean, you’re literally in the heart of everything that matters in Warsaw, and couples seem to get this immediately (the ratings don’t lie). The building itself has that classic Warsaw charm, and when you climb up to the first floor, there’s something intimate about having your own space right in the middle of all the action.
The Space Itself
What struck me most about this place is how it manages to feel like a proper home rather than just another hotel room. The apartment is thoughtfully laid out, and you get the sense that someone actually cares about the details here. The kitchen setup is particularly nice — not just some afterthought kitchenette, but something you’d actually want to use if you picked up ingredients from the nearby markets. You know what’s refreshing? Having space to spread out your things and not feel like you’re living out of a suitcase.
Location Magic
Here’s the thing about being on Nowy Świat — you’re basically at the center of Warsaw’s cultural universe. Step outside and you’re surrounded by cafes, bookshops, and that particular energy that makes this street special. The Royal Route runs right past your door, which means you can walk to the Old Town or head south toward Łazienki Park without even thinking about transportation. I’ve stayed in plenty of places around Warsaw, and this spot just works — you feel connected to the city in a way that hotels in business districts never manage.
Why It Works for Couples
There’s something romantic about having your own little corner of Warsaw, especially when that corner happens to be in such a prime location. The apartment gives you privacy and space to actually relax together, plus you can grab groceries and cook dinner if you want a quiet night in. But honestly, with all the incredible restaurants and bars within walking distance, you might not use that kitchen as much as you think. The whole setup just feels more intimate than a standard hotel — you’re living in Warsaw rather than just visiting it.
Why Guests Love It
That 9.4 rating isn’t an accident, and neither is the 9.9 location score. People keep coming back to Pod arkadami because it delivers on the promise of being right where you want to be. You’re not dealing with long commutes to see the sights or hunting for decent places to eat — everything’s right there. The combination of having your own space with all the conveniences of home, plus being dropped into one of Warsaw’s most dynamic neighborhoods, just works. It’s the kind of place where you start planning your next visit before you’ve even checked out.
Apartments in Warsaw provide travelers with authentic local experiences, allowing them to explore traditional Polish markets and cook with regional culinary specialties.

Perfect stay for the weekend in Warszaw
Very comfy and close to the centre
What could be improved: One of the bedsheets smelled like they did not wash them.
We had a great stay in this beautiful apartment. Would definitely book again.
A lovely bright, clean apartment in a great location. We were a group of 3 friends so each having our own room and 2 bathrooms to share was just perfect for us.

Beautiful apartment, very clean, walking distance to the old town. Lots of cafes/restaurants nearby. Able to drop luggage off before check in time as we arrived early.
Clean, comfortable and great location
Great location for the city or Old Town. Local supermarket over the road and 20 minute walk into the Old Town for food if you didn't want to stay local. The kitchen is over stocked with glasses, cutlery and china so you're never short of a plate or two! Nice size apartment to use as a base.
Exceptional
Location is in center, close to everything, it is very quiet. big apartment with everything you need
Wonderful
A lovely flat overall and highly recommend it. Spacious, quiet and safe location, 25 minutes walk to old town, convenience store on the corner of the road, 2 bathrooms, pleasant well equipped kitchen and living area. Beautiful trees, around, balcony overlooking a park. Very relaxing.
What could be improved: No lock on bathroom door, one shower was inconsistent temperature, some visitors might find access a little difficult as taxi drop off is across a small park with a number of steps.
Very Good
Host was accommodating and friendly. Great location. Cleanliness is at the top of my list and I was pleasantly satisfied with this apartment, including bathrooms. It was also comfortable with 3 little kids and a baby.
