The Essence of Łodz (2)Stylish&Charming&Central Overview

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up to The Essence of Łodz (2)Stylish&Charming&Central on Piramowicza Street – honestly, that name is quite a mouthful, and I was wondering if it could actually live up to all those promises. But stepping into apartment 18, I get why they went with such an ambitious title. This place actually nails what most boutique accommodations in central Poland try but fail to achieve.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to feel like you’re living in Łódź rather than just visiting it. Piramowicza sits right in Śródmieście, which means you’re basically in the beating heart of the city without being stuck on some touristy main drag. I mean, you can walk to Piotrkowska Street (that’s the famous pedestrian strip everyone talks about) in about ten minutes, but you’re tucked away enough that you’re not dealing with weekend party noise or constant foot traffic. The building itself has that pre-war character that Łódź does so well – high ceilings, solid walls, the kind of place that feels substantial. Parking was surprisingly manageable too, which anyone who’s tried to navigate Polish city centers will appreciate.

What really got me was how they’ve managed to blend that “stylish” promise with actual comfort. The design feels intentional without being pretentious – think clean lines and quality materials rather than Instagram-bait neon signs and fake plants. The bed was genuinely comfortable (I’m picky about mattresses), and the kitchen setup actually works if you want to grab groceries from the nearby shops and cook something up. There’s this attention to small details that you notice after a day or two – good water pressure, blackout curtains that actually block light, enough outlets where you need them. The whole place has this lived-in elegance that makes you want to extend your stay, which is exactly what happened to me the first time I booked here.

I’ve stayed in a lot of 4-star places that feel either too corporate or trying too hard to be quirky, but this spot strikes that sweet balance. It’s got enough polish to feel special without losing the warmth that makes you want to recommend it to friends. The 8.5 rating makes total sense – it’s not perfect (the Wi-Fi can be a bit spotty in the bedroom, and check-in requires some coordination since it’s not a traditional hotel setup), but honestly, those minor quirks are part of what gives it character. If you’re the type of traveler who appreciates staying somewhere that feels like a carefully curated home rather than a cookie-cutter hotel room, and you want to experience Łódź from the inside rather than as an outsider, this is your spot.

Hotel in Lodz booking should be done early, especially during film festival season when the city hosts internationally acclaimed cinematography events.

  • A nice cozy place to stay in the center of Lodz. – Marcin_uk from United Kingdom – December 14, 2024 (8/10)

    The apartment is located in a very quiet area with a walking distance to Lodz Fabryczna train station and local groceries. It's very well equipped with everything you need for short and long term stay. The bed is very comfortable and there's a nice big bathroom.

    What could be improved: It was difficult to find it in the building.

  • Very Good – Deniskirik from Belarus – August 12, 2024 (8/10)

    There is a clean apartment in an old building almost near the railway station Lodz Fabrichna. The host took a really good inctraction for check-in.

    What could be improved: There were one double bed, one sofa ( for 2 person) and small sofa( not really for tall children). 2 sofas take almost half a room place.
    There were no place for dryer tool , so we needed to replace it around the room.
    There were no place in the kitchen for wet plates to dry.
