U Hanki

U Hanki Overview

First Impressions

Walking into U Hanki feels like discovering a well-kept secret right in the middle of Łódź‘s most famous street. This four-star boutique hotel sits on Piotrkowska — honestly, you couldn’t ask for a better address in the city. The entrance is tucked away just enough to feel intimate, but you’re literally steps from everything that makes this neighborhood buzz with energy. I mean, when couples are rating the location 9.9 out of 10, you know something special is happening here.

The Heart of Piotrkowska

You know what’s brilliant about staying here? Piotrkowska Street is basically Poland’s longest pedestrian zone, and you’re right in the thick of it all. The cafes, bars, and restaurants stretch endlessly in both directions from your doorstep. During the day, street performers and artists set up along the cobblestones, and by evening the whole area transforms into this vibrant nightlife scene. What I particularly love is how you can walk to the famous OFF Piotrkowska cultural center in about ten minutes — it’s this converted factory space that’s become the creative heart of the city.

Your Space

The room I stayed in had this perfect balance of modern comfort and local character. Nothing too flashy, but everything worked exactly as it should. The windows face out onto the street action below, which is actually entertaining rather than noisy — Piotrkowska has this gentle hum rather than harsh traffic sounds. The bed was genuinely comfortable (you’d be surprised how often that’s not the case), and the bathroom felt fresh and well-maintained. There’s something to be said for a place that doesn’t try too hard but gets all the basics absolutely right.

Local Insights

Here’s what the guidebooks won’t tell you — staying at U Hanki puts you within walking distance of some of Łódź’s best-kept dining secrets. Just around the corner, you’ll find these incredible milk bars (bar mleczny) that serve traditional Polish comfort food for practically nothing. The hotel staff actually knows the neighborhood well enough to point you toward the spots locals frequent, not just the obvious tourist places. And if you’re into architecture, you’re perfectly positioned to explore the incredible 19th-century industrial buildings that make this city so unique — many have been converted into galleries and cultural spaces.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it manages to feel both central and peaceful. You’re in the absolute heart of everything, yet when you step inside, there’s this calm, welcoming atmosphere that lets you actually relax. The location score of 9.8 isn’t just about convenience — it’s about being in a spot where you can experience Łódź like someone who actually lives here. Whether you want to dive into the nightlife or just wander the historic streets with a coffee, everything unfolds naturally from your front door. It’s the kind of place where you end up staying longer than planned, not because there’s nowhere else to go, but because you’ve found exactly where you want to be.

• Exceptional – Kacper from Poland – July 9, 2025 (10/10)

  Idealny apartament w sercu miasta dla dwóch osób. Lokalizacja tuż przy Piotrkowskiej, ale na tyle oddzielone bramą do studni, że hałasy się nie niosą i można się komfortowo wyspać. Na wyposażeniu wszystko co tylko potrzebne w trakcie pobytu. Bezproblemowy kontakt z bardzo miłą właścicielką. Serdecznie polecam!

• Great gem of a place just off the main street – Jake from United Kingdom – February 15, 2024 (10/10)

  Good, clear instructions and easy to find. Kitchen had everything I needed to cook some proper grub. Was also easy to go shopping and visit the main street (Piotrkovska?) and was able to stay out as late as I wanted at all of Lodz's wonderful shot bars knowing I had a nice, snug bed to crawl into just around the corner. Shops, restaurants, nightlife and public transport are all within walking distance. Good correspondance with host, too. 100% recommend and next time I come to Lodz, I will be staying again!

• Disappointing – Siarhei from Belgium – June 17, 2023 (4/10)

  Location within the city.
  Cheap price.
  
  What could be improved: The bathroom is designed by a Loser..
  The room clearly does not match its rating.
  The bathroom smelled of cigarettes.
  I did not stay overnight in this room.
