Where to stay in Gocławek
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
The tram terminus is the anchor. Rooms in Gocławek put you between Szasarow Street and Ostrobramska Street, with Grochowska Street running through and the line at Rondo Wiatraczna carrying on into the rest of Warsaw. King Cross Praga faces the terminal.
Zamieniecka Street closes the western edge, so a base here suits you if a tram ride into the middle of the city is a fair trade for streets that stay residential.
