The hip Warsaw neighbourhood of Praga offers a slew of boutique accommodation options guaranteed to catch the eye of discerning travellers, alongside the cool cafés and bars of Ząbkowska Street and the fascinating Neon Museum.

On the eastern bank of the Vistula River, Praga is a Warsaw district that is traditionally described as either trendy or gritty. Whichever your opinion, there’s no doubt that Praga’s appeal lies in its quirkiness. This isn’t the Old Town, but Praga is just as historic. Add in a neon museum, modern art installations and enough bars and clubs to keep you out night after night and you start to understand why the neighbourhood is home to Warsaw’s best hostels and design hotels. Here are the best places to stay in Praga, Warsaw – all bookable with Culture Trip.

1. Moxy Warsaw Praga

Chain Hotel

Moxy Warsaw Praga is a flashy – and dare we say it – trendy hotel that’s located within a heavily refurbed 19th-century vodka distillery. Guests can stay in minimalist yet modern rooms, but the real highlight is the communal space with comfy couches, meeting areas and workstations. This is really one for the socialisers rather than the business-minded, though, especially when the hotel’s signature Moxy cocktails begin to flow in the evenings.

2. Sport Hostel

The plain, apartment block-style exterior of Sport Hostel hides a swish interior that comes complete with comfortable communal sofas for lounging and a fully equipped kitchen for cooking up your every craving. This is a small but cosy hostel, which means it’s guaranteed to be a great place to meet other like-minded travellers looking to explore Warsaw. Better yet, Sport Hostel is located just around the corner from the Neon Museum, Praga’s quirkiest tourist attraction.

4. City Break Atelier Praga

City Break Atelier Praga caters to comfort-seekers with plush serviced apartments that will quickly become your newfound home in Warsaw. Each apartment is fully equipped with dining, lounging and entertainment facilities, but that doesn’t mean you should get stuck inside. A short stroll away from the cafés and bars of Ząbkowska Street, the Neon Museum and Soho Factory are also nearby.

5. Hotel Hetman

Situated just a few minutes’ walk from the metro station at Dworzec Wileński is the Hit Hotel.

The hotel has 60 rooms, a fully functioning restaurant and a bar that shows live sports. Wifi works in the public areas and in all rooms. Children under the age of three stay for free.

Apart Hostel is less a hostel and more a homely, boutique hotel. This is one for the creatives, with each of the nine rooms intimately designed in homage to the district’s bohemian history. With a distinctly modernist appeal throughout, Apart Hostel’s bistro serves up a large menu of classic Italian-style pizzas and pastas – the perfect meal after a long day of sightseeing in Warsaw!

9. Art Hotel Stalowa

Situated on the once industrial Stalowa Street in Praga, ARTHOTEL STALOWA 52 is far removed from its industrial past. Instead, this is one for the art lovers – a boutique hotel whose classic red brick walls reflect the area’s history as a hotbed of factories and townhouses. Yet, each of the 19 rooms has been individually designed with a stylish, modern approach. Guests can dine at ARTBISTRO STALOWA 52, where local art collides with classic Polish cuisine to create a truly bohemian experience in Praga.
