Studio apartment with an AC – Długa 52 street

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this little studio on Długa? It’s actually way more comfortable than I expected for what’s basically a one-room setup. I mean, when you hear “studio apartment” you sort of brace yourself for cramped quarters and that weird hotel smell, but honestly – this place just feels like someone’s thoughtfully designed city pad that they happen to rent out.

The AC is legit, which I can’t stress enough if you’re visiting during those sticky Warsaw summers. I stayed there in July and while the old town was basically melting outside, I could actually sleep without feeling like I was wrapped in a damp towel. The whole Długa street area has this great energy too – you’re right in the thick of the Old Town but on a stretch that doesn’t get completely overrun with tour groups at 7 AM. There’s this little bakery about two minutes’ walk away where locals actually go (you’ll know it by the line of people in business clothes grabbing coffee before work), and honestly, starting your day there beats hotel breakfast by miles. The apartment itself is smart about space – whoever set it up actually thought about how people live, not just how many beds they could cram in. The kitchenette isn’t just for show either; you can actually cook something more ambitious than instant noodles if that’s your thing.

What really sells me on this place though is that it feels authentic to Warsaw without trying too hard. The building has that solid, pre-war character – thick walls that actually keep sound out, high ceilings that make the studio feel bigger than it is. You’ll hear church bells from the nearby churches (which is charming, not annoying) and the occasional tram, but it’s not like staying above a construction site. The 9.8 rating isn’t just people being nice – it’s earned. I’ve stayed in plenty of 4-star places that felt more sterile and way less comfortable than this. Plus, and this matters more than you’d think, the check-in process was refreshingly straightforward. No standing around lobbies, no weird key card issues – just clear communication and everything worked exactly as promised. If you’re the type who wants to experience Warsaw like you actually live there for a few days instead of just passing through, this studio nails that balance perfectly.
