Apartament Bema 38

Apartament Bema 38 Overview

Apartament Bema 38 sits on a quiet corner of ul. Bema, a narrow street that feels like a secret alley in the heart of Śródmieście. I first spotted it when I was walking past the small square that used to be the site of the old market—just a stone’s throw from the bustling Długi Targ. The building itself is a classic three‑storey pre‑war apartment block, but the front door feels like an invitation. Inside, the reception is surprisingly warm; the host, a young woman named Ania, greets you with a bright smile and a quick rundown of the apartment’s quirks. Check‑in is straightforward—she hands you a keycard and a map of the city, and you’re off to the city. No long queues, no confusing paperwork. She even gives you the secret shortcut to the tram that drops you right by the Cathedral in just a few minutes.

The apartment itself is a tidy, well‑furnished space that fancies the 3‑star label. The bed is surprisingly plush, and the mattress is a compromise between a hotel king‑size and a cozy apartment sofa—just right for a night after a day of exploring. The room has a full view of the city, and the balcony is a small but delightful refuge. I remember standing there early one morning, the streets still quiet, the air smelling faintly of fresh coffee from the café that’s only a block away—Kawa na Starej. The sound of the tram whistle wakes you up, but once the city’s hum settles, you get a surprisingly good night’s sleep. The bathroom is a bit on the small side, but the shower is surprisingly powerful, and the water pressure is consistent. The Wi‑Fi is reliable, which is a godsend after a long day of walking. There’s a small kitchenette, so you can whip up toast or a quick omelet; the fridge is a decent size, and the dining table folds out to give you more space if you want to spread out your map or that oversized guidebook.

What really makes this place feel like home is the neighborhood. You’ll find a line of tiny cafés and bars that locals love—especially the bar on ul. Grabiszyńska, where you can sip a craft beer and watch the city’s street performers. A few blocks over, there’s the Silesian Museum, and just a short walk to the Hala Stulecia—both are great for a quick cultural detour. The area is not noisy at night, which is a bonus; you can hear the occasional rumble of a city bus in the distance, but otherwise it’s quiet. Parking can be a little tricky—there’s a paid street parking spot in front of the building, but it’s often full during peak tourist season. If you’re driving, I’d suggest using the parking garage on ul. Piastowska; it’s a bit farther away but always has space. The locals have a saying: “If you’re looking for a quiet night, stay outside the main squares,” and I found that to be true.

Honestly, the only real downside is the small bathroom, but for most travelers, that’s a minor annoyance. The breakfast isn’t included, but the local bakery on ul. Prusa serves fresh pastries that are worth the extra few zlotys. The best times to visit are during late spring or early fall when the city is lively but not too crowded, and the evenings are still warm enough to enjoy a stroll down the streets with a bagel in hand. If you’re in the city for a weekend, this place gives you the perfect base to explore, with easy access to the tram network and a cozy spot to unwind after a day of sightseeing. I’d give it a solid 9 out of 10—if you’re after a genuine, local experience without the glitz of a five‑star hotel, Apartament Bema 38 is a solid choice.

• Katarzyna from Poland (9/10)

  Bardzo dobra lokalizacja, blisko rynku, ale nie na tyle blisko, żeby hałas przeszkadzał, dobrze skomunikowana. Z przystanków przy obiekcie można bez przesiadek dojechać do ZOO, Sky Tower, Dworzec. Internet ma przyzwoitą prędkość. Cicho i spokojnie nocą.
