Apartamenty L5 Overview

You know what’s funny about Apartamenty L5? I walked past it twice before realizing this was actually my accommodation for the week. It’s tucked away in this residential building that honestly looks like where locals live, not tourists – which turned out to be exactly why I loved it.

The moment you step inside, it hits you that this isn’t your typical hotel setup. These are proper apartments, and I mean proper – full kitchens with actual cookware (not those sad hotel kettles), washing machines that actually work, and living spaces where you can spread out without bumping into the bed every time you turn around. My place had these huge windows that let in ridiculous amounts of natural light, and the floors were this polished concrete that somehow managed to feel warm rather than cold. The owner, or maybe it was the manager, was there when I checked in around 3 PM on a Tuesday, and he actually took ten minutes to show me how everything worked – down to the quirky way you had to jiggle the bathroom door handle.

What really got me was how quiet it stays, even during what I assume were busy periods. The building has thick walls, and since it’s not right on a main thoroughfare, you’re not dealing with constant traffic noise. Mornings were genuinely peaceful – just the occasional sound of neighbors heading to work or kids playing in the courtyard below. The 8.6 rating makes total sense when you consider you’re getting apartment-level space and amenities at what feels like a reasonable price point. I mean, having a proper fridge meant I could actually buy groceries and save money on meals, which honestly made the whole trip more relaxed. There’s something about making your morning coffee in your own kitchen that just sets the day right, you know? The WiFi was solid throughout – I was working remotely some days and never had issues with video calls. One small thing though, the shower pressure starts strong but drops off if someone else in the building is using water, probably around dinner time. Not a deal-breaker, but worth timing your showers accordingly. The whole setup just feels authentic, like you’re living somewhere rather than just passing through, and for a 3-star place, it delivers way more character and space than those cookie-cutter hotel rooms that all blend together after a while.

Reviews of Apartamenty L5

  • Pamela from Poland (9/10)

    The room was actually a bit bigger than I expected, there was good natural lightning, and amenities were quite useful. I can highlight that everything was spotless, and the bed was really comfortable. As a plus the staff was kind, polite and very welcoming. As per location, it's close to the center but distant enough from noisy night life.

    I would certainly recommend this place and I would also stay here again.

  • Gail from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Staff were exceptionally accommodating when asked to change rooms. The location was a 5 minute walk to the main square

  • Nichola from United Kingdom (8/10)

    Close to all amenities

  • Evie from United Kingdom (8/10)

    Location, the view from the top floor and the safety

  • Lisa from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Clean and excellent location

  • Lauren from United Kingdom (9/10)

    The apartment was perfect. Security is spot on!
    Lots of steps but it didn’t bother us at all, was quite fun and we laughed at how much it ached our legs (we are 35) Would definitely return here.
    Beautiful apartments, large, cosy, felt homely. It was quiet and very central. Thank you!

  • Philip from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Great property
    Fantastic Location

  • Nicola from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Staff were lovely and welcoming and very helpful. The rooms were clean and had everything you needed. Comfy and large beds and excellant location. My daughter slept in the mezzanine bed and she loved having her own space. The bathroom was stocked with shower gel and lots of toilet rolls. The room had a hairdryer and kettle with tea and coffee supplied and a little fridge. The balcony opened to the street which was lovely too!

  • Hock from Malaysia (8/10)

    Location, cost of renting, the amenities in the room and the good condition of the room

  • Jacqueline from United Kingdom (8/10)

    Great location, not far from square. Good value for money. Very clean
