Wawabed Aparthotel

Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve stayed at a lot of places in Warsaw, and Wawabed Aparthotel is one of those finds that honestly surprised me. It’s tucked away on Raduńska in the Bielany district – not exactly where most tourists end up, which is actually kind of perfect. The area feels properly residential, with tree-lined streets and that quiet morning atmosphere where you hear birds instead of traffic. I mean, you’re still in Warsaw, so there’s the occasional tram rumbling by, but it’s nothing like the constant hum you get near the Old Town.

The aparthotel itself has this understated charm that grows on you. Walking in, there’s no fancy marble lobby or anything – just clean lines, decent lighting, and staff who actually seem to know what they’re doing. My room (well, it’s more like a small apartment really) had this lived-in comfort that made me feel settled within hours. The kitchenette is properly equipped too – not just a mini-fridge and a prayer, but actual cookware that looks like someone thought about what travelers might need. I ended up making coffee there every morning because, honestly, the little Bialetti moka pot they provided made better coffee than half the cafés I tried in the city center. The bed was firm in that European way that takes a night to get used to, but then you sleep like the dead.

What really sold me on the place was how it sits in the neighborhood. There’s a small grocery store maybe two minutes’ walk away where the owner started recognizing me by day three, and this little bakery on the corner that does these incredible pączki on weekends. The tram stop is close enough to be convenient but far enough that you don’t get the early morning announcements echoing through your window. Getting into central Warsaw takes about twenty-five minutes on the 17 tram – I timed it because I’m nerdy like that – and you get to see parts of the city most visitors miss. Plus, parking here is actually manageable, which if you’ve ever tried to park near the Palace of Culture, you’ll know is basically a miracle. The whole setup just works, you know? It’s not trying to be something it’s not, just solid, comfortable, and refreshingly honest about what it offers.

Reviews

• My husband agrees – Jenny from United Kingdom – June 28, 2025 (7/10)

  Breakfast was amazing
  
  What could be improved: On the booking website it said no lift to upper floors, but it should read NO LIFT. This scuppered our stay, as I thought any lift would help my husband's back, but carrying the cases up 3 floors meant he was in agony for our stay.

• Exceptional – Victor from Romania – April 19, 2025 (10/10)

  Very nice area, quiet, clean, good bed,great staff, great breakfast although a little pricey,5 minutes close to the local transportation.

• Good experience – Gaetano from Italy – April 16, 2025 (10/10)

  It was a positive experience. The zone where the Aparthotel is located is calm and silent. Well connected by buses. Moreover there is a supermarket very close where u can buy what you need for your staying. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was very tasty, with possibilities to choose between a salty or a sweet breakfast. The receptionist was very kind, welcoming and was also speaking a perfect Italian language. I will definitely recommend.

• Exceptional – Marius from Lithuania – April 5, 2025 (10/10)

  Nice vintage hotel in calm place. Its good for the people who wants to live outside the centre, close to market, parks and not far from university.

• Great – Peter from Belgium – December 25, 2024 (9/10)

  Good value for money. So quiet.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Comfortable – Simon from Netherlands – September 16, 2024 (8/10)

  I really liked the rooms. They looked great, were clean, had decent wifi connection, everything one needs to be comfortable. Although, I wish I had gotten to try their breakfast.
  
  What could be improved: I thought the wifi connection in my room was a tad weak. Additionally, it was not clear to me what I had to do when I left the room so I kind of just left and hoped that that was what I had to do.

• Good to stay for a night on a way home – Jolita from Lithuania – August 23, 2024 (9/10)

  The location is perfect, if you want to be outside the town and take a morning run.
  
  What could be improved: Hotel offers self-chech-in but we didn't receive the message with the code for the room. Finally, we found a person who contacted the owner and let us into the room.

• Quiet, clean, spacious rooms – Hilla from Israel – August 5, 2024 (10/10)

  The room was spacious and clean. Very quiet, comfortable. The neighbourhood is very nice. There are bus stops real close.
  
  What could be improved: 30-40 minutes by bus to center
