Apartament – Old Town Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Apartament – Old Town on Poselska Street, you immediately know you’ve hit the jackpot for location. This three-star place sits right in the heart of Kraków’s Old Town — steps away from the main square with classic charm. The building itself has that authentic character, tucked into a historic street that feels genuinely Polish rather than touristy. Every corner reveals something new about the neighborhood’s rich history, making each stroll an adventure through centuries of Polish culture and architecture.

The Apartment Experience

What struck me first was how this apartment setup gives you so much more space than a typical hotel room. You’ve got a proper living area, which makes all the difference when staying more than just a night or two. The kitchen is compact but functional — perfect for making morning coffee or storing those Polish pastries you’ll inevitably buy. The whole place feels like someone’s actual home rather than a sterile hotel space, which is genuinely appreciated by guests who value authentic experiences.

Location Magic

Staying on Poselska puts you literally a two-minute walk from the Main Market Square, but on a quieter side street without constant foot traffic. You can walk to Wawel Castle in about ten minutes, and the Jewish Quarter (Kazimierz) is roughly fifteen minutes on foot. All those amazing milk bars and pierogi spots are right around the corner, so you don’t have to venture far for authentic Polish food. The neighborhood offers the perfect balance of accessibility and tranquility, providing easy access to major attractions while maintaining peaceful residential charm.

Why Couples Love It

There’s something romantic about having your own little Polish apartment in the Old Town, which explains the high ratings from couples. The space gives you room to spread out and actually relax together, unlike cramped hotel rooms where you’re practically on top of each other. Being able to grab fresh bread and cheese from the nearby market and have breakfast in your own space delivers that authentic travel experience. It beats any hotel restaurant buffet for genuine local living, allowing couples to create intimate moments while exploring Polish culinary traditions together.

Why Guests Love It

With a 9.2 rating and perfect location score, this place clearly delivers on what matters most — being exactly where you want to be in Kraków. The apartment-style setup means you get more value compared to traditional hotels in the area, and the freedom to come and go without dealing with hotel lobbies is refreshing. The combination of authentic local living and tourist convenience makes this the ideal choice for discerning travelers seeking genuine Polish hospitality. Guests consistently praise the independence and flexibility that comes with apartment-style accommodations in such a prime location.

Exploring Krakow offers visitors an unforgettable journey through Poland’s medieval heart, from its magnificent Wawel Castle to its bustling Market Square and timeless cultural traditions.
