Widok Apartments, Sun & Snow

Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve stayed at a lot of places in Warsaw over the years, and Widok Apartments honestly surprised me in the best way. The location is just – well, it’s perfect if you actually want to experience the city rather than just see it from a tour bus. You’re literally on Widok street (which means “view” in Polish, and trust me, there’s a reason for that name), right in the heart of Śródmieście. I mean, you can walk to the Old Town in maybe fifteen minutes, but here’s the thing most people don’t realize – you’re also super close to all the good stuff locals actually use. There’s this amazing milk bar called Bar Mleczny Familijny just a few blocks away where you can get pierogi for like three euros, and honestly, it’s better than half the tourist places charging ten times that.

The apartments themselves feel more like staying at a friend’s place than a hotel, which I actually prefer. They’ve got that Sun & Snow branding, but it doesn’t feel corporate at all – more like someone who really cares about hospitality decided to do their own thing. My unit had this great little kitchenette (and I mean actually functional, not just a mini-fridge and a prayer), which saved me so much money since Warsaw can get pricey if you’re eating out every meal. The Wi-Fi was solid – I was working remotely part of the time and never had issues, even during peak hours when everyone’s streaming Netflix. One small thing though – the walls aren’t super thick, so if you’re a light sleeper, maybe pack earplugs. It’s not terrible, but you’ll hear your neighbors if they’re having a good time.

What really sold me on this place was how the staff actually knew the neighborhood. When I asked about getting to Wilanów Palace, the guy at reception didn’t just hand me a generic map – he told me which bus to take, where to grab coffee on the way, and that Thursdays are way less crowded. That’s the kind of local knowledge you just can’t get from a chain hotel. Plus, parking was way easier than I expected for central Warsaw (there’s street parking that’s not impossible to find, and a garage nearby if you want to be safe). The whole area gets pretty lively on weekends – you’re close to some great bars and that little square where people hang out – but it calms down by midnight usually. I’d definitely stay here again, especially for the price point. For a 3-star place, it punches way above its weight, and that 8.5 rating makes total sense once you’ve been there.

  Bardzo dobra lokalizacja, idealna do zwiedzania. Mieszkanie jest bardzo czyste. W bloku cicho i spokojnie.
  
  What could be improved: Pościel i ręczniki noszą już ślady użytkowania, można pomyśleć o wymianie. Po calym dniu zwiedzania, po powrocie do mieszkania czuć było nieprzyjemny zapach z łazienki.

• Exceptional – Nita from Finland – March 30, 2025 (10/10)

  Siisteys ja sijainti

• Wonderful – Alessandro from Italy – December 15, 2024 (9/10)

  Un appartamento piccolo ma dispone di tutto ciò che una persona ha bisogno. Il punto in cui si trova l'appartamento è al centro della città, molto buono per spostarsi in qualsiasi posto. Vicino all'appartamento si trova il palazzo principale di Varsavia.
