Sublime single bedroom in Stare Bielany, warsaw

Starting next academic year, I'll be doing my Master's degree at the University of Warsaw. Before that, I did my Bachelor's in Kraków and spent the last year living at StudentSpace there. No regrets — it was comfortable, the atmosphere was good, and you didn't feel alone in an unfamiliar city. When it came to moving to Warsaw, I didn't look around for long — I chose StudentSpace again. I'll be honest — I've only seen the building from the outside, because when I visited Warsaw, construction was still underway. But the rooms are supposed to be similar to the ones in Kraków, and since those worked well for me, I'm sure this will too. What convinced me to come back is that during my time in Kraków, I never really felt like I was missing anything. The residence had everything I needed as a student: a comfortable room, good study spaces, reliable facilities, and a friendly community. It made everyday life easy, allowing me to focus on my studies while still enjoying the social side of university life. That's why choosing StudentSpace again felt like the most natural decision.

I absolutely do not recommend StudentSpace. It's pure marketing and misleading advertising! On your website (studentspace.pl) you advertise "Fully furnished rooms with a private bathroom and kitchenette, available in an all-inclusive model. Utilities, fast Wi-Fi... all included in one fixed monthly price." This is FALSE. You cannot sell it as "all-inclusive" and "fully equipped kitchenette" and then there are no glasses, no plates, no cutlery, no sheet, no pillow and no towel. How can you call it a kitchenette if you can't even drink a glass of water? My room came with NOTHING. I had to go out and buy everything myself with a fever after flying all day from Spain alone, exhausted and with suitcases full of clothes. Obviously I can't bring a duvet and a pillow from Spain because it doesn't all fit and I'm traveling alone. I sent a message to the manager explaining my situation asking if they could lend me a set of sheets and they completely ignored me. If I had arrived a little later, would I have slept with nothing on the mattress? Shameful. Also, on the first day they didn't explain anything to me, not where the washing machines were or where to throw the trash bags... super unprofessional, they give you the keys and figure it out yourself! On top of that, the first day I couldn't even shower because there was no hot water and after a week it broke down again and we have no hot water again! And when there is water (which is not always), it comes out either freezing cold or burning hot, many people complain and they do nothing to fix it and we've been like this for 11 days. There is no heating either and yesterday they turned it on and it's super weak, it makes a buzzing noise all the time that is extremely annoying for sleeping and they do nothing either, they tell you that to cook you have to open the windows when we are in Warsaw and at this time of year it's quite cold and we have no heating. They also left us without internet for several days, which is unacceptable when you advertise "fast Wi-Fi all included" and you need it to study and work. They start drilling walls at 7-8 in the morning on a Saturday... totally disrespectful. And before they reply saying it's a "city-wide issue" - it's not. Other buildings in the same street have hot water and heating. This is a building management problem, not a city problem. Stop making excuses and take responsibility. Of course, to organize parties they do have time and to upload posts on Instagram as if nothing happened. Honestly, to pay 3550zl for this feels like a scam to me.

A very good experience overall. The place is modern, well organised and the whole booking process was straightforward. Communication was clear and everything we needed to know was explained in advance. StudentSpace made a very good first impression and and in my opinion it is a comfortable option for students starting university in Warsaw.

My daughter and I visited Studenspace on Wołoska Street to view rooms because she's looking for a place to study medicine in Warsaw, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, and she really likes it. Everything looks great; construction isn't really finishing work, I'd say. Back in my day, I could only dream of something like this. The lady who showed us around was very kind, answered all our questions, and let us view several rooms so our daughter could choose the one she liked best. The room we chose wasn't fully furnished yet, but the rooms below were already finished, so we knew exactly what it would look like. The view from the top was very nice, as the room was on the seventh floor. We were hoping for the fourth, but it was already booked. It's our own fault for starting the search quite late. My daughter loved the navy blue color of the kitchen cabinets, because, as it turns out, different floors have different colors. We were a little worried about the heat from the roof on the top floor, but we were assured that the building was well-insulated, and that during the recent heatwave, the temperature on the seventh floor was the same as the others. The quietness in the rooms, despite the ongoing construction work, is a huge plus. At our request, Ms. Ola also checked how many residents will be studying at the Medical University of Warsaw, and it turned out there will be over sixty, so my daughter will definitely find friends to study with and spend time with outside of the university. The location is really convenient, close to the Medical University of Warsaw, so as a mother, I feel more confident that my daughter won't have to drive halfway across Warsaw every day. Overall, it made a very good impression on us, and I hope it will be even better once the construction is completed. I recommend coming and seeing it before it runs out of places. As a mother, I'm very upset about my only daughter leaving home, but after this visit and meeting the dorm team, I'm much more at peace. I'm adding a photo of the view from the window (I don't remember if it's from the seventh or fourth floor) and a photo of the room on the first floor with navy blue cabinets (the same ones you'll find on the seventh floor).

I haven't found any information on the website about the dormitory not being ready yet, with the estimated completion date being October 1st. Something tells me construction will be delayed by several months, and the rooms themselves will be ready as soon as possible, so only students can move in and pay. Other amenities like laundry facilities, common areas, etc. will only be a dream. I hope I'm wrong. If everything is as promised, I'll be happy to leave a 5-star review and recommend it to others :)
