Apartament Błękitny

Apartament Błękitny Overview

Apartament Błękitny sits on Poniatowskiego 2, smack in the heart of Śródmieście, Wrocław. I first spotted it when I was wandering past the old town square, the building’s blue façade popping against the gray brick of the surrounding streets. The hallway smelled faintly of fresh polish bread from the bakery on Grabiszyńska, and the sound of trams rattling past was a constant backdrop that you quickly learn to live with. The lobby is small but warm, with a couple of mismatched armchairs that look like they’d been in the room since the 1980s. The staff were friendly—one of them even remembered my name after my first week, which felt oddly personal in a city that’s always moving.

Checking in was a breeze: the reception desk was open from 3 p.m., and the front desk lady handed me a keycard with a smile and a quick rundown of the Wi‑Fi password (which, by the way, is decent but sometimes hiccups when the city’s Wi‑Fi traffic spikes during festivals). The building has underground parking, but you need to fetch a key from the front desk—no free spots if you’re arriving early. I parked a few times and the space was surprisingly quiet, a nice break from the traffic on Grabiszyńska. The elevators are big and a bit slow, but that’s typical for an older building in the city center.

My room was the kind of cozy hideaway that makes you forget you’re in a bustling metropolis. The bed was a generous size, covered in crisp white sheets that made you want to lay on the mattress all day. The window looked out over a small courtyard that’s a quiet oasis of green, with a rubber plant and a few potted herbs that the hotel puts on display. The electric kettle is a lifesaver because the tap water tastes a bit like chlorine, so I always brew my coffee right there. The bathroom was clean, but the showerhead has a bit of a mineral buildup—just a quick rinse and it’s fine. The room’s soundproofing is decent; you can hear the city’s hum but not the full roar of a busy street—though if you wake up at 5 a.m., the tram sirens can be a bit of a surprise.

What really makes Apartament Błękitny special is its proximity to the local spots that only residents know. Just a five‑minute walk brings you to the bustling market on Rynek, where you can grab a fresh pieróg from the stall next to the old Town Hall. If you’re craving something sweet, there’s a tiny bakery on Ulica Rynkowa that sells the best cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had, and you’ll hear the scent of freshly baked bread wafting through the windows. For a quick coffee break, the café on Królewska Street is a stone’s throw away and boasts a wonderful patio—perfect for people‑watching after lunch. And if you’re into architecture, the Hala Stulecia is just a ten‑minute walk, and the modernist design of the hall is a great contrast to the historic vibe of the city center. On cooler evenings, the streetlights cast a soft glow over the cobblestones, and you can hear the faint murmur of conversations in Polish and German—Wrocław’s multicultural charm.

The only real critique I have is that the Wi‑Fi can be spotty during peak tourist seasons or when the city hosts big events—like the Wrocław Film Festival. If you’re a heavy downloader, you might want to keep a mobile hotspot handy. Also, the check‑out time is 11 a.m., which can be a bit tight if you’re catching an early train; but the staff are generally understanding and can hold your luggage if you need a few extra hours. Overall, Apartament Błękitny feels like a home away from home, with just enough local flavor and practical touches to make your stay enjoyable. If you’re planning a trip to Wrocław and want to be right in the middle of the action, this place is a solid choice—especially if you love the idea of stepping out onto a quiet courtyard and then heading out to explore the city’s best spots.

To book hotel in Wroclaw during the famous Wroclaw European Capital of Culture celebrations, visitors should make reservations well in advance as the city attracts cultural enthusiasts and architecture lovers from around the world.
