About

Zwierzyniecka Old Town Apartments By Otium

Zwierzyniecka Old Town Apartments By Otium sits on Zwierzyniecka 10, a 14-minute walk from Smocza Jama and 750 metres from Lost Souls Alley Amusement Center, a popular family spot. The property offers a choice of Superior, Deluxe, and One-Bedroom Apartments, many with a balcony or courtyard view.

The recently refurbished interiors mix a clean, minimalist style with off-beat industrial and old-architecture touches. Each apartment comes with a kitchenette or kitchen, a washing machine, and free Wi-Fi in rooms. Guests consistently praise the comfortable beds, updated bathrooms with plentiful hot water, and the quiet, spacious feel.

Practical extras include paid airport shuttle, express check-in/out, luggage storage, and a safe deposit box. Pets are allowed, and there is parking on site. The reception, run by the team at Otium, is frequently singled out for being friendly and helpful—arranging tours, holding bags for late flights, and providing maps and brochures of the city.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Moderate overall rating — The property's overall score of 7.9 out of 10 is below the area average of 8.8, so some guests have found fault with certain aspects.
  • Check-in window may be tight — Check-in is available only between 15:00 and 23:59, which could be inconvenient for late arrivals. The staff do seem willing to help with late check-ins, but it's worth confirming in advance.
  • Simple single-room options — Some apartments, like the Superior and Deluxe, are listed with two single beds, which may not suit all travellers looking for a double bed.
