Planning a stay in Warsaw? You’re probably facing the classic dilemma: a predictable chain hotel or… well, that. Or maybe something more? More and more travelers choose the freedom offered by apartments in the very center of Warsaw.
You know the feeling when you step into a hotel room, put your suitcase down on the floor, and then… there’s suddenly no room left to move? At No.4 Residence on Nowogrodzka, we believe luxury is first and foremost about space. It’s the freedom to feel at home—even when you’re on the go.
If you’re wondering what’s better for your city break or business trip, we’ve put together a guide to help you decide.
Why choose No.4 Residence instead of a typical hotel?
Size: about 2× more space than in a standard hotel room.
Independence: your own kitchenette—coffee in your pyjamas and unrushed breakfasts.
Design: unique interiors in a historic tenement building.
Work-life balance: a dedicated workspace and fast Wi‑Fi.
Location: you stay at Nowogrodzka Street 4a, in the heart of Warsaw’s trendiest street.
An apartment in central Warsaw and space that lets you breathe
A standard room in a 4-star city-center hotel is usually about 18 to 22 m². That’s enough to sleep—but is it enough to relax?
At No.4 Residence, we focus on breathing room. Our apartments are full-size homes where the living area is separated from the sleeping area. You can comfortably set up your yoga mat, open two large suitcases without blocking the walkway, or simply sit on a comfortable sofa with a book. When you close the door, you’re not in “Room 15” — you’re in your own Warsaw home.
Your rhythm, your tastes (slow morning)
In a hotel, breakfast often means having to get dressed and go down to the restaurant at set times (usually when you’re sleeping the best).
Choosing an apartment with a kitchenette gives you back control of your time.
Coffee in your pyjamas? Of course—every apartment is equipped with a coffee machine.
Dinner with a glass of wine? You don’t have to hunt for a restaurant if you feel like staying in bed. You can order from the best spots near Nowogrodzka and eat at the table on a beautiful serving platter—not from a box on your lap.

Home Office, Premium version
Working remotely on the road can be challenging. In a typical hotel, the “desk” is often a narrow console under the TV, and the backdrop for a video call is the bed headboard.
No.4 Residence is the ideal place for a workation. With the larger space and a thoughtful layout, you can work in comfortable conditions using fast internet—and once you close your laptop, simply head out into the city. It’s a balance that’s hard to find in hotel “business corners.”
An apartment in Warsaw and a design with the soul of a tenement building
Chain hotels look the same in Warsaw, London, and Berlin. It’s safe—but… boring. We invite you into the world of Warsaw modernism and eclecticism.
We’re in the heart of South Śródmieście. Our interiors capture the spirit of pre-war Warsaw, paired with contemporary design. High ceilings, decorative plasterwork, carefully selected furniture—everything makes your stay here an aesthetic experience in itself. It’s the perfect option for those who on Instagram are looking for more than just beige carpeting.
Staying longer? Feel at home
After three days in a small hotel room, most of us start to miss home. In an apartment, that moment doesn’t come as quickly. Large wardrobes, storage space—and in many apartments, amenities like a washing machine or a fully equipped kitchen make No.4 an ideal choice for a “long stay.” Whether you’re coming for a weekend or a month-long contract, you live here by your own rules.
Summary: apartment or hotel in Warsaw?
You don’t have to choose between the hotel standard of cleanliness and service and the ease of having your own private apartment. At No.4 Residence, we provide housekeeping and front-desk support—while also giving you keys to your private space in the heart of Warsaw.
❓ Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Can I prepare a meal in the apartment?
Yes, most of our apartments feature fully equipped kitchenettes with a hot plate, refrigerator, kettle, coffee machine, and a set of dishes.
Is the location on the street not noisy?
Nowogrodzka is lively, but our windows have high acoustic insulation. What’s more, some of the apartments face a quiet courtyard, ensuring a peaceful sleep right in the city center.
What luxury accommodation outside Warsaw in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian region would you recommend?
If you’re looking for a place to get away from the capital, we recommend two friendly hotels: Głęboczek Vine Resort & SPA on the border of Kuyavia and Masuria—with an expanded spa area surrounded by lakes—and Villa Park MED & SPA in Ciechocinek, known for its modern Saltaris SPA area and spa-town atmosphere.
