Polna Centrum Studio

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be straight with you about Polna Centrum Studio – it’s one of those places that grows on you once you figure out what you’re getting. The name basically tells you everything: it’s right on Polna street in Śródmieście, which honestly is about as central as you can get in Warsaw without paying through the nose. I mean, you’re literally walking distance from the Palace of Culture (yeah, that massive Stalin-era building everyone has opinions about) and maybe fifteen minutes on foot to the Old Town if you’re feeling ambitious. The studio setup works well if you’re traveling solo or as a couple – it’s not huge, but they’ve made smart use of the space, and you know what? Sometimes that’s exactly what you need when you’re spending most of your day exploring anyway.

What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night, which surprised me given how central the location is. Polna isn’t one of those crazy busy streets with trams rattling by every five minutes – it’s more residential, so you actually get some decent sleep. The 7.6 rating makes sense to me because while it’s not luxury (it’s a solid 3-star), they nail the basics really well. Check-in was smooth, the wifi actually worked properly, and the little kitchenette had everything I needed for morning coffee and simple meals. There’s a Żabka convenience store literally around the corner, plus a proper grocery store about two blocks down if you want to stock up on supplies.

The area itself is pretty sweet for getting around – you’ve got the Politechnika metro station within walking distance, which connects you to both lines, so getting to places like Wilanów or out to Chopin Airport is straightforward. I spent a lot of time just wandering the neighborhood actually, because you’re right in that sweet spot between the touristy Old Town and the more modern business district. There are some great little cafes tucked away on the side streets, and honestly, the whole Śródmieście area has this nice mix of pre-war architecture that survived and newer buildings that don’t completely clash. One thing to note – parking can be a bit of a puzzle if you’re driving, but that’s pretty much true anywhere in central Warsaw. The trams and metro are so good here that I’d honestly recommend just skipping the car rental altogether. Overall, it’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re staying somewhere locals might actually live, not in some sterile hotel bubble, and for the price point in this part of the city, that’s pretty hard to beat.

Reviews

• Very Good – Begovic from Croatia – November 27, 2023 (8/10)

  Great place to stay. Perfect for couple or close friends. Everything you need is very close by and just bellow the apartment is great bio shop and around the corner amazing matcha bar
  
  What could be improved: Kitchen could be better equiped and would need some improvement. There was not enough dishsoap or any esentials like oil, etc. And no kitchen rag, so washing and drying the dishses was challenge. Ther is washing machine in the apartmen but no deterget to use it.

• Good for a short-term stay in warm periods, but could have been better equipped – Anastasia from Poland – March 13, 2024 (6/10)

  Nice and clean apartment; the bed was already made. There is even a washing machine, but no washing liquid, which is inconvenient if you rent for a short period of time, so you can't use it cause you don't take the liquid with you. The kitchen set is large; almost everything you need is there. And as for the keys, we managed to find them fast, the instructions were clear.
  
  What could be improved: We stayed in the winter time, and it was very cold in the apartment. Good that there was a blanket, but in any case, I had to wear two sweaters to get warm.
  Plus, there were no cutting boards in the kitchen.

• Wyjazd udany.apartamen oceniam bardzo pozytywnie – Daria from Poland – June 20, 2025 (9/10)

  Doskonała lokalizacja. Bardzo czysto. Wszystko wygląda tak jak na zdj.
  
  What could be improved: Brak dodatkowej pościeli. Zamówiono pokój na 2 os dorosłe i jedno dziecko 5 lat. Brakowało pościeli na rozkładaną kanapę. Trudno znaleźć miejsce w którym zlokalizowany jest klucz do apartamentu.

• Все було дуже добре! Сподобалось! Рекомендую! – Yaroslav from Ukraine – November 4, 2024 (9/10)

  Все, що потрібно, знаходиться в апартаментах. Зручне ліжко, комфортний диван. Все відповідає дійсності! В 5-7 хвилинах ходьби знаходиться ТЦ з продуктовим супермаркетом. Близько 20-25 хвилин до центру міста. Рекомендую!
  
  What could be improved: Проблеми з паркуванням. Не було пульта до парковки біля будинку. Потрібно паркуватися на вулиці на платній парковці. Помешкання обіцяє повернути кошти за парковку. Очікую)

• Квартиру рекомендую! Хозяевам передала о проблеме с водой, думаю все исправят. Чистота в квартире победила! – Shchedrina from Russia – August 25, 2024 (8/10)

  Понравилось оснащение квартиры, уют, чистота, расположение от аэропорта и достопримечательностей.
  
  What could be improved: Почему-то в душе не работала холодная вода на всю мощь. Приходилось мыться водой горячее, чем хотелось бы. А в остальном все супер.

• La situació, al costat de transport públic i aprop del parcs – Mireia from Spain – August 14, 2024 (9/10)

  La situació, sofà còmoda i menjar de benvinguda
  
  What could be improved: Es difícil trobar la clau i la porta ja que està dins un pati interior. Que caldria explicar juntament anb els vídeos que ens varen enviar.

• Wonderful – Tomasz from Poland – July 7, 2024 (9/10)

  Przekąski i napoje pozostawione przez gospodarza – miły akcent. Bardzo dobra lokalizacja, miejsce parkingowe.
  Sklepik z produktami na śniadanie po drugiej stronie budynku.
  
  What could be improved: Był kłopot z otwarciem skrytki ale telefonicznie szybko się sprawa rozwiązała.
  Pewnie klucz zablokował zamek – wystarczyło delikatnie stuknąć skrytką i sie otwarła.

• W większości odpowiadało naszym oczekiwaniom – Klaudia from Poland – March 19, 2024 (7/10)

  Czystość, bardzo dobra lokalizacja, w miarę ciche mieszkanie jeśli chodzi o odgłosy z ulicy.
  
  What could be improved: Mieszkanie dość zimne mimo, że kaloryfery były ustawione na 5 przez cały pobyt. Nieprzyjemny zapach z toalety. Winda którą było ciężko obsłużyć (tip dla wynajmujących: trzeba dobrze zamknąć drzwi pierwsze jak i drugie podwójne oraz wcisnąć piętro i przez chwilę przytrzymać przycisk wtedy winda zacznie jechać)

• Wonderful – Marcin from Poland – March 11, 2024 (9/10)

  What could be improved: miejsce parkingowe- brak – znalezione odpłatne na sąsiedniej ulicy

• Wonderful – Patryk from Poland – January 22, 2024 (9/10)

  What could be improved: Na minus zdecydowanie temperatura w mieszkaniu. Mieszkanie nie nagrzane przed naszym przyjazdem i przez dwa kolejne dni, ogrzewanie nie dawało rady nagrzać mieszkania.
