“Excellent Location,Great View,Terrible Entrance Way?”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Hello! First off, my wife is Polish and from Warsaw so we know our way around very good here. We also used this trip to visit relatives in the Warsaw area .I myself have been there three times in the past (including this trip)
Check in was easy but the staff did NOT seem friendly nor did they seem to want to help in anyway??? The address to these apartments is listed to be on 29 Nowy Swiat but the true entrance to our apartment is actually at 27 Nowy Swiat and in the back of the building.
The apartment we stayed at was called "M6" ,a two bedroom apartment with livingroom,kitchen and bathroom. They claim it can accomidate 6 people BUT it really can accommidate 4 comfortably. I cannot see two people sleeping on the pull out couch comfortably here ? The apartment had all the amenties like home with minimal supplies to get by. We unfortunately had to buy more toilet paper . The staff only left two rolls of toilet paper. As for the laundry soap? There was none for the machine?? We did do a little laundry seeing myself and daughters luggage was delayed from the airport for four days and we had only a few things to wear from our carry on's.
The entrance to the apartment was in a "terrible" location ,in the back of the building and not to well lit at night either. It looked "ghetto" like with lots of graffetti everywhere and there were many drunk shady individuals at night back there. NOT good for tourists first visiting Warsaw I'm sure????We even caught a few boys urinating next the buildings dumpsters? Not a good thing to see for such a nice old building and the area that it is in.
The location was excellent and the view was spectacular from the livingroom (look at the pictures) .The area (Nowy Swiat) has many cafes, bistros and restaurants and looks great in the summer Im sure when the outside cafes open up. Unfortunately we went in late December but had much fun all the same. The apartment (M6) itself was well used but clean with no bugs in sight. There were a few light bulbs missing but were later replaced by staff on our request (took a few days). We went at Christmas time so we knew that "EVERYTHING" in Poland closes down for two to three days to celebrate Christmas.
With our package we were also entitled to a maid coming into the apartment "once" during our stay to clean the apartment. We were asked upon check in by the staff "what "day we wanted the maid .We arranged the day BUT the maid "never" showed up that day ??? Not good??? We called the building staff and they tryed to arrange a day for cleaning and that day was the day before we left. We told them NOT to bother seeing we were leaving the next day for home?
Anyway! The apartment has a telephone that you can make local calls in Warsaw at no charge. I guess they have internet also but we never used it seeing we were on vacation and not on business.
Its a good thing we have been to Warsaw,Poland in the past .Myself and wife both agreed that the building staff should have made" more" effort in welcoming people to the apartment building and offering some sort of information package with maps,local information,emergency phone numbers etc..... this should have been left in every apartment.At the time of our stay they were working on putting air conditioning in the buildings hallways so they made lots of noise after 8 am drilling?

All in all I recommend this place if you are looking for a great location in downtown Warsaw.The staff at this rental location have a longgg way to go to learn how to treat incoming guests. My wife agrees that some hotels and rental companies are behind the times in Warsaw and should spruce up their hospitality techniques??? If I were to rate it out of 5 stars I'd give it a solid 3 1/2 stars. We did fell comfortable and safe in the apartments itself and the doors were very secure with very strong dead bolts.There is a security door to get into the building and a very strong door with great dead bolts to the apartment. Hope this review helps some.

“Excellent value in a good spot in the city”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2009

We stayed here as part of a round the world trip and also visiting my relatives in Warsaw. The place was great, a great sized unit, literally felt like a "home away from home". So it is in fact an apartment not a hotel. The fact that it was around the corner from the booking office made it easy to get additional cleaning products, clean towels etc. The ladies in the office also helped us book an apartment in Krakow through the same company, which after staying at Royal Route was a bit of a disappointment. Only possible negatives is that it is a busy area so if you are a light sleeper I would recommend ear plugs and eye shields as the curtains aren't super dark and there is a bit of noise outside especially in the evenings. Also we could have done with an extra couple of pillows, as there were only 2 provided, but other than that excellent!

“Absolutely lovely”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 March 2009

person found this review helpful

Four of us stayed in appt 6 in the Royal Route Residence on Nowy Swiat for a long weekend and were absolutely delighted with our apartment. It had a kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine and full size cooker , a large sitting room with windows overlooking the street, a lovely bathroom with shower and two bedrooms, one twin and one double. It was clean with wooden floors throughout and modern furniture. There was somebody there to give us the key when we arrived and we just left the keys in the box when we left. There are several restaurants and cafes in the street below but no noise because of the double glazed windows. It is in an ideal position for exploring the town and we walked up to the Old Town Square easily. The 175 bus from the airport goes along the street right by the apartment. We paid 239 Euros for two nights but for 4 of us it was cheaper than a hotel and much better. There were two flights of stairs up to our apartment and no lift so I would not recommend it to anyone with walking difficulties

“Great stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2007

people found this review helpful

While traveling to Poland on business I had the pleasure of spending 4 days in one of the Royal Route Apartments. The outstanding location is in "royal" Warsaw with everything you need about a 20 min. walk away. The apt. was very clean and well appointed with a great functional kitchen with that included a washer & dryer and a gleaming bathroom. I would recommend this location to the semi-independent traveler who can be comfortable with staying in a non-hotel situation.

“Great location, quality and price”

These apartments are located right in the city center on Nowy Swiat - an excellent location, with plenty of restaurants and tourist destinations close by. The apartment itself was very nice. It's clean, spacious, has a kitchen, washer / dryer, TV /DVD, etc. The price was around EUR 105 / night for a 2-BR apartment, which compared to any hotel or other option I found in Warsaw is incredible value. Would definitely stay here again.
