2 bedroom apartment Św Jana – Main Square

Hotel Description

You know what really struck me about this place? The moment I stepped inside, I could hear the faint sounds of the Main Square drifting through the windows – not loud enough to keep you awake, but just enough to remind you that you’re literally in the heart of everything. The apartment sits right on Św Jana street, which honestly is about as central as you can get in the Old Town without paying those insane five-star hotel prices.

The space itself is actually quite generous for what you’d expect in this part of the city. Two proper bedrooms – I mean, rooms where you can actually fit your suitcase and move around, not those cramped spaces you sometimes get in historic buildings. The living area flows nicely into a kitchen that’s, well, better equipped than most rental places I’ve stayed in. You’ll find everything you need for morning coffee (which you can enjoy while watching early commuters hurry across the square below) or even cooking a simple dinner if you want to save some money after splurging on all those market trinkets.

What I really appreciate is how they’ve managed to keep the old-world charm – those high ceilings and original hardwood floors that creak just enough to feel authentic – while making everything work for modern travelers. The bathroom is updated without being sterile, and there’s actually decent water pressure, which… let’s just say isn’t always a given in these historic quarters. The wifi works throughout the apartment too, something I learned not to take for granted after a few work calls from dodgy connections elsewhere.

Being right on the Main Square means you’re literally steps from everything that matters. That little bakery on the corner opens early (around 6:30, I think) and the smell of fresh bread sometimes drifts up in the mornings. The evening atmosphere is something else entirely – you can step outside and be part of all the street music and buzz, but retreat upstairs when you’ve had enough. Parking is tricky, like anywhere in the old center, but there’s a garage about a five-minute walk away that’s not too brutal price-wise.

The only minor thing – and I’m really reaching here – is that weekend nights can get a bit lively with the square being such a hub. But honestly, if you’re staying in the Main Square, you’re probably not looking for total silence anyway. Plus, they’ve got decent windows that cut down the noise when you close them. The whole experience just feels authentic in a way that big chain hotels never quite capture – you’re living like a local who just happens to have a really prime address.
