Elk Vacations from $837

A nice, simple, clean apartment. Easy walking distance to the Hub buildings and metro, plenty of shops, restaurants, and cafés in the area.

Nice convenient location, rooms were clean and good size. Staff not especially friendly, maybe that’s Poles in general. Bed was 2 star quality. On a couple of days, the showers were with cold water only. 3 star rating would be accurate.

We booked last minute for a one-night stay. The site did not indicate an additional deposit and the property sent a link for payment through a private email that went to spam. I missed that email and upon calling, the woman was dismissive stating I should get to a cafe for wifi before 10pm cutoff. It was 930pm, had my three kids with me, and was frantically trying to get this payment through. A little more kindness would have gone a long way. Take note: A lot of stairs to take. There is active construction going on in the area. The property taped signs on all the windows saying to not open them due the possibility of the glass breaking due to winds. There are several fans available but it was not enough to dissipate the heat in the rooms and we were sweltering. We booked due to the great reviews and were expecting a nice, reasonable stay. This was a terrible stay. I did request a refund from the owner before checking out of the property due to the circumstances and was declined since I “completed” my stay and did not reach out when the problems occurred. I am understanding this to mean calling at 3a asking to permit me to open a window or something? I’m not sure. I did want to give the positives. We did think the apartment was true to the pictures. They provided some amenities like body wash and shampoo. Pillows were plentiful.

Great location - easy walk to train station, centre and old town square. Walls need a fresh coat of paint. Brown convertible couch in the studio apartment had a thick layer of dust when you open it up so was a bit off putting but sheets were fresh. Easy self check in /check out.
