Green Garden Residence Overview
You know what? Green Garden Residence totally surprised me – and I mean that in the best way. When I first pulled up, I’ll be honest, it looked pretty unassuming from the outside. Just your standard three-star place, nothing flashy. But honestly, sometimes those are the spots that end up being hidden gems.
The moment you walk into the lobby, there’s this immediate sense that someone actually cares about this place. It’s not trying to be some fancy chain hotel, but everything feels thoughtfully put together. The staff at check-in were genuinely helpful – not that rehearsed hotel smile stuff, but like they actually wanted to make sure I had a good stay. My room was on the third floor (heads up, the elevator’s a bit slow, but hey, it works), and I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious it felt. The bed was actually comfortable – I’m picky about mattresses and this one hit that sweet spot between firm and soft. What really got me though was the attention to detail… there were these little touches like decent hangers in the closet and enough outlets by the bed to charge your phone without unplugging the lamp.
The “Green Garden” part of the name isn’t just marketing fluff either. There’s this lovely courtyard area that you can see from some of the rooms, and in the morning it’s actually quite peaceful. I found myself having coffee out there a couple times – it’s one of those spots where you can just sit and not feel rushed. The neighborhood itself is pretty quiet, which I appreciated since I’m a light sleeper. You’ll hear the occasional car, but nothing that kept me up at night. Parking was straightforward too, which honestly is half the battle these days. The whole area has this lived-in feel to it, not touristy but not sketchy either. There’s a little café about two blocks down that makes incredible pastries (seriously, don’t skip it), and I noticed quite a few locals hanging out there in the mornings.
Look, is this place going to blow your mind with luxury amenities? No, and that’s not what it’s trying to do. But if you want a solid, comfortable stay where you feel like you’re getting good value for your money, Green Garden Residence delivers. The 8.4 rating makes total sense to me – it’s the kind of place that consistently does the basics really well without any major surprises (good or bad). I’d definitely stay here again, especially if I wanted to feel more like I was staying somewhere with character rather than just another cookie-cutter hotel room.

Emils from United Kingdom (8/10)
Great location with local amenities like small shop across the street and large Biedronka grocery shop within walking distance , near to public transport good value for money.
Kitchen had the necessary utensils and equipment for eating and cooking. Tea coffee sugar also was kindly provided.
Mattress on the bed as well as the sofa bed were comfortable with clean bedding.
Central heating within the entire building, with access to the AC should you get too cold or too hot.Volodymyr from Ukraine (7/10)
Viktorija from Latvia (9/10)
We had a amazing stay at apartment and happy with our experience and choice ☺️
The studio was stylish and cozy and kitchen was fully equipped
In general apartment was very clean , and bed comfortable with the fresh linens and towels
The location was fine , you need 30 minutes to get to the old town, but better to use a tram which will bring you there in 10 minutes , the tram stop is very close
Close to the apartment you will fine a lovely shop “Zabka” where you will find everything what you need ☺️
And another good thing in 5 minutes walk you have a train station , which can bring you straight to the airport, you can easily buy a ticket there too
Overall, this apartment it’s good for this price , it just perfect for the short-term stay 😍
