3 Minutes Apartments Old Town

Hotel Description

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much when I first booked 3 Minutes Apartments Old Town – the name made it sound almost too good to be true. But you know what? They actually deliver on that promise. The location is ridiculously perfect if you want to be in the heart of everything without dealing with the chaos of a massive hotel lobby every time you come and go.

The apartments themselves feel like someone’s stylish city flat rather than typical hotel rooms, which I mean, makes sense given the setup. What really got me was how quiet it stays at night despite being so central – the windows are actually decent quality, not those paper-thin things you find in some places. The kitchenette situation is pretty solid too, nothing fancy but you can definitely make coffee that doesn’t taste like cardboard and store some groceries if you’re planning to stay more than a couple nights. I spent most of my mornings just sitting by the window with my coffee, watching the old town wake up – there’s something really nice about feeling like a temporary local instead of obviously being a tourist.

The check-in process was refreshingly straightforward, no endless paperwork or upselling attempts. The staff actually knows the neighborhood well enough to give you real recommendations, not just the tourist trap stuff everyone suggests. They pointed me toward this little bakery about two blocks away that I never would have found otherwise – the kind of place where locals grab their morning pastries and the smell hits you from halfway down the street. Walking around, you realize why this place consistently gets such high ratings (that 9.4 isn’t just luck). It’s in that sweet spot where you’re close enough to walk to all the main sights without feeling like you’re staying inside a postcard. The streets around here have that lived-in feel during the day but never get too rowdy at night, which honestly can be hit or miss in old town areas. If you’re someone who likes having actual space to spread out and maybe cook a simple meal after a long day of wandering around, this beats cramming into a standard hotel room every time.

Krakow’s apartments offer spacious accommodations with historical character, perfect for families wanting to experience daily life in this beautifully preserved Polish city.
