No one liked it, some were even afraid to visit it. It survived two wars unchanged and continues to enchant time with its original, pre-war architecture - Warsaw's Praga. You won't find glass office buildings here, but courtyards covered in leaves, creaking gates and dozens of chapels cared for by residents. Scenes for "The Pianist" and "The Girls from Nowolipki" were filmed here, you can shop at the iconic bazaar here and admire the most interesting murals and graffiti in the entire city. Praga was ranked second in the ranking of the 10 coolest districts in European cities, and that's why we are here. In an old, over a hundred-year-old rubber goods factory, we created a refuge where time has stopped. We have preserved large windows, wooden floors and brick, in which the spirit of old Warsaw is enchanted. Drop by for a comfortable city break in the capital - discover Warsaw that no one knows.
LOFT 22 is an old-school hostel in Praga, located in a pre-war tenement house from 1918, where a factory of rubber products was located. We have saved the historic floors, original bricks and large windows - the spirit of pre-war Warsaw still lingers in these walls, even though over 100 years have passed.

For lunches and dinners, you can go to the city - Warsaw has a wide range of restaurants, cafes and pastry shops. Not far from us, you will eat in Italian Boska, and the closer you are to the Vistula River and the city center - the more culinary options there are.

In Warsaw, you will eat well both in top restaurants and food trucks, whose gastronomic offer is getting richer.
It is impossible to get bored in Warsaw - this city lives around the clock! You can spend mornings walking along the Vistula boulevards or visiting one of the four gardens in Łazienki Królewskie, afternoons at exhibitions, performances, concerts, and evenings at clubs and restaurants.

You can feed the ducks in Łazienki Park, go to a children's theater play at the Little Audience Theater, experiment in the Copernicus Center or eat ice cream in the Old Town. The calendar of events dedicated to children is also extensive - it is worth checking what events are organized nearby.
