The Best Places to Stay in Praga, Warsaw

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.

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.

Located in Nowa (New) Praga, Design LOFT 22 is a creative hostel that draws heavily on the district’s bohemian heritage. The furnishings and interior design of the dormitories are a throwback to the artists, writers and musicians of old. There are grand pianos, classic red brick walls and work desks fitted with mod-cons such as USB chargers and power sockets. Book this one early; rooms and dormitories fill up fast!

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.

Hotel Hetman is a stylish and luxury option in the Praga district, just a few minutes’ walk from a bus stop, a tram stop and the metro station Dworzec Wileński. All rooms are equipped with a television, a kettle with tea and coffee and wifi. Bottled water, toiletries and a hair dryer are also included in the room cost. There is a ground-floor sports bar and a spacious reception area. Conference halls can be booked for business events in this trendy hotel, which also hosts wedding parties.

Situated just a few minutes’ walk from the metro station at Dworzec Wileński is the Hit Hotel. While the street name might be difficult to pronounce, it is not hard to find, it’s on Księdza Ignacego Kłopotowskiego and has an obvious sign outside. 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.

Conveniently placed right next to the main tram stops in Praga, Cloud Hostel is one of the best hostels for travellers looking to sightsee in Warsaw. You can be over the Vistula and exploring the Old Town in just 10 minutes, whilst in the evenings you can drink the night away in Praga. Cloud Hostel has 10-bed dormitories for those looking to save money and socialise, as well as twin private rooms if you need extra privacy.

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!

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.
