VipWarsawApartments Onyx Mennica Residence

Hotel Description

You know what? I was actually skeptical when I first booked VipWarsawApartments Onyx Mennica Residence because the name sounds like someone threw a bunch of fancy words together, but honestly – this place surprised me in the best way. It’s tucked on Grzybowska Street in Wola, which I’ll admit isn’t the most glamorous neighborhood name, but here’s the thing locals know: you’re literally a 10-minute walk from the Palace of Culture and about 15 minutes to the Old Town if you’re feeling ambitious. The building itself has this sleek, modern vibe that feels more like upscale residential than typical hotel sterile – I mean, when you walk into the lobby, there’s actual art on the walls and the lighting doesn’t make you look like you’ve been living underground for months.

The apartments themselves are what really sold me though. I stayed in what they call their standard unit, and it had this open kitchen that actually functions (shocking, I know – most hotel kitchenettes are basically decorative). The bed was one of those memory foam situations that doesn’t leave you feeling like you wrestled with a brick wall all night, and the bathroom had heated floors which, let me tell you, is a game-changer during Warsaw’s winters. What I really appreciated was the soundproofing – Grzybowska can get busy during rush hour since it connects to some major routes, but inside you’d never know there’s traffic outside. The WiFi was solid too, which matters when you’re trying to video call home or actually get work done.

Here’s something I wish someone had told me before I arrived: the nearest grocery store is a Żabka about three blocks down, but if you want proper shopping, there’s a Carrefour maybe a 7-minute walk toward the city center. The front desk staff – and this might sound like I’m making it up, but I swear it’s true – actually gave me recommendations that weren’t just the obvious tourist traps. One guy told me about this pierogi place on Chłodna Street that doesn’t even have English menus, and it ended up being one of my favorite meals in Warsaw. Check-in was smooth, though I did arrive around 6 PM on a Wednesday, so maybe I just hit them at a good time. The only minor thing that bugged me was the elevator – it’s one of those European-sized ones where you and your luggage become very close friends, but honestly, that’s pretty standard for this part of the city. Overall, for a 4-star place with an 8.5 rating, it delivers exactly what you’d expect without any nasty surprises, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need when you’re exploring a city like Warsaw.

Exploring Warsaw offers visitors an unforgettable journey through Poland’s resilient capital, from its meticulously reconstructed Old Town to its modern skyline and rich cultural heritage.

  Was in a good location and was clean.
  
  What could be improved: We struggled a little to get in as the reception refuses to speak to non-residents (there is a sign saying this) but the instructions we got via text were okay.

• Wonderful – Laura from Lithuania – May 3, 2025 (9/10)

  It’s in the good district with a lot of restaurants. New building, all is in the flat for a short stay. Comfortable bed.
  
  What could be improved: When we came there wasn’t bed lining for a second bed, but after a phone call the staff brought it in 20 min. So all was good for a stay

• Everything was perfect!! – Viktória from Slovakia – March 27, 2024 (10/10)

  Thanks to the underground parking lot, we had our car safe. upon arrival, we called the accommodation contact and a very nice gentleman came to pick us up and escorted us to our apartment and explained everything to us, so thanks to him we were able to find our way around. Do not hesitate to stay here when you are looking for accommodation. Once again, many thanks!
  
  What could be improved: –

• Very Good – Virgilio from Portugal – November 23, 2023 (8/10)

  Very recent apartment, in a good location, with good facilities and unobstructed views, with plenty of stores and restaurants nearby.
  
  What could be improved: The dust under the bed and in some minor places in the apartment. The size of the bed sheets should be bigger, because you can't put them under the mattress so they don't come off.
