DaVinci Radziwiłłowska Apartments

DaVinci Radziwiłłowska Apartments Overview

You know what struck me first about the DaVinci Radziwiłłowska Apartments? The name honestly makes it sound way fancier than it actually is – and I mean that in the best possible way. This is a solid 3-star place that doesn’t try to be something it’s not, which I actually appreciate after staying at too many hotels that promise the moon and deliver… well, not the moon.

The apartments themselves have this practical, lived-in feel that works really well if you’re planning to stay more than just a night or two. I mean, you’ve got actual kitchen space where you can make coffee without wrestling with one of those tiny hotel pods, and the living areas are sized like real apartments, not hotel rooms pretending to be suites. The 7.7 rating makes sense when you experience it – it’s not going to blow your mind, but honestly, everything just works the way it should. The Wi-Fi is reliable (thank god), the water pressure is decent, and the heating actually keeps up during those brutal Polish winters. There’s something refreshingly straightforward about the whole setup that I found myself appreciating more as the days went on.

What I really liked was how the place sits in the city – you’re not stuck in some tourist bubble, but you’re not exactly roughing it either. The neighborhood has that authentic Polish residential vibe where you’ll hear actual locals going about their business, which beats the sanitized hotel district experience any day. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle (isn’t it always in European cities?), but the staff actually knows the area well enough to give you real directions, not just vague gestures toward “somewhere nearby.” I stayed during what felt like shoulder season, and the place had this comfortable, unhurried atmosphere – not dead quiet, but not crawling with tour groups either. The check-in was refreshingly human; the person at the desk actually seemed to know the individual apartments and could tell me specific things about the one I was getting, like which windows get morning light and where the closest decent grocery store was located. Look, if you’re hunting for marble bathrooms and turndown service, keep looking. But if you want a genuine place to actually stay – not just sleep between tourist activities – this works really well.

Reviews of DaVinci Radziwiłłowska Apartments

• Luke from France (8/10)

  It was so close to the city centre – literally right beside the main train station which gives you easy access to everything and the airport. Close to lots of nice bars and restaurants. The apartment was clean, cute (with the loft) and spacious!

• Szabó from Hungary (7/10)

  Location

• Lech from Netherlands (8/10)

  Perfect location. The accommodation looked a bit better on the photos though.

• Madeleine from Netherlands (9/10)

  The place was lovely and very well-equipped. The location was perfect to distance to the old town and the Jewish quarter. The communication with the host made everything easier.

• Aneta from Canada (7/10)

  Location, size of apartment

• Andrey from United States (8/10)

  The location is great. Right near the old town and the train station, so both sight seeing and arriving/departing is easy.
  The property is spacious for two people. The laundry machine was quite a welcome amenity for a traveler. There were even a couple of detergent pods provided. Thank you for that! Noise levels were tolerable for a European property in a stone building (neighbors and street could be faintly heard, so ear plugs can be useful). The street was reasonably quiet. There is a lot mentioned in the negatives below, but don't take that as a take down review. The combination of price and amenities makes it a reasonable property to stay in. It must be noted that the photos are dated at this point and are likely retouched. I understand that every property does this, so it's not an unexpected outcome, but still disappointing. I'd also say that the furniture arrangement in the photos is better than it actually is now. Not sure what prompted the rearrangement, but I'd recommend reverting to how it shows in the photos. It's just looks more open in the photos. We didn't care much for the loft beds, since there were only two of us. Larger group may have something to say about those. There's a small fridge, which I call a "dorm fridge", but it does have a freezer shelf. We didn't use the TV, so no comments there.
  In general, I'd likely stay here again.

• Marleen from South Africa (9/10)

  In a quiet street with the Galleria Mall, bus station and railway station 5 min walk one side, and Old Town 10 min walk to the other side. The flat has plenty of windows, well stocked kitchen and washing machine. On the ground floor is a mini market. The owner is easily contactable and was kind enough to help with my luggage.

• Joaquim from United Kingdom (9/10)

  it’s proximity to all the main facilities and leisure amenities.
