U Siemienia

U Siemienia Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard about U Siemienia, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes ratings don’t tell the whole story, and this little gem absolutely proves that point with its stellar 9.4 rating from actual guests.

The thing that struck me right away was how the staff actually seemed to care about making your stay memorable, not just checking boxes on some corporate hospitality checklist. I mean, at a lot of 3-star hotels you’re lucky if someone looks up from their phone at check-in, but here there’s this genuine warmth that’s hard to fake. The lobby has this lived-in feel – not fancy by any means, but comfortable in that way that makes you want to settle in with a book rather than rush off to your room. There’s usually some local chatter happening, and honestly, I picked up more tips about the area from just hanging around for twenty minutes than most concierges would give you.

What really won me over, though, was how they’ve managed to nail the basics that bigger hotels somehow mess up. The rooms are clean – and I mean actually clean, not just surface-level tidy. Hot water shows up when you turn the tap, the Wi-Fi doesn’t cut out every five minutes, and the beds are surprisingly comfortable for a place in this price range. You’re not getting marble bathrooms or Egyptian cotton sheets, but everything works and feels thoughtfully maintained. The windows actually open (remember when that was normal?), which is perfect if you prefer fresh air to recycled AC. Parking was straightforward too – none of that circling-the-block nonsense or surprise fees that pop up at checkout.

I stayed during what locals told me was a pretty busy time, but the place never felt chaotic or overwhelmed. The neighborhood itself has this authentic feel where you’re staying somewhere people actually live and work, not in some tourist bubble. You’ll hear normal city sounds – some traffic, people going about their day – but nothing that kept me up at night. Actually, I found it kind of comforting after staying at those sterile chain places where the silence feels almost unnatural.

Here’s the thing – U Siemienia isn’t trying to be something it’s not, and that’s exactly why it works so well. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re getting real value rather than paying for amenities you’ll never use. If you’re someone who cares more about genuine hospitality and being comfortable than having a rooftop pool you’ll visit once, this is your spot. That 9.4 rating isn’t an accident – it’s what happens when a place focuses on doing the important stuff really well instead of chasing flashy extras that look good in photos but don’t actually improve your stay.

  A cosy and comfortable apartment in the lovely peaceful surroundings. Clean, equipped with everything you need for cooking, washing etc during a short or a longer stay.
  Located 30-40min on foot from the old town, 5-10min from the tram stop, 20min on foot from the AGH student campus. Multiple grocery stores (Zabka, Carrefour express, Biedronka) within a short walk of 5-20min.
  A very welcoming and responsive host.

• Mamulashvili from Georgia (10/10)

  Great apartment with everything you might need not only for visiting but even for living. It is very comfortable, clean and well designed. We felt like we were home and didn't want to leave. The balcony is very cute and peaceful to drink tea/coffee in the morning and enjoy the silent moment.

• Ricky from United States (10/10)

  The apartment was wonderfully decorated…well equipped and the father and daughter were a added bonus. They both cleaned the apartment weekly and provided extras like coffee…toilet paper…and fresh flowers. The location was perfect for all our needs.We both highly recommend this place and many thanks to Andrzej….

  Location

• Andrei from Germany (10/10)

  15 minutes to the city center by nearby tram. Very nice and green surrounding area, picturesque walking path close to the building. The appartment was very clean, comfortable to stay. The front of the house was under repairs but builders didn't make any disturbing noise while I was in. It is clear and nice the hosts take care about both the appartment and guests. I had a problem with communication because of a glitch in Booking.com application but the host used outside the application means to help. Very much appreciated. Recommend.
