Apartamenty Amber Overview
First Impressions
When I first heard about Apartamenty Amber, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a three-star property scattered across different locations in Krakow‘s Old Town. But honestly, this setup turned out to be one of its biggest strengths. You’re not staying in some generic hotel building — you’re actually living like a local in various historic buildings right in the heart of the city. Each apartment has its own character, and the locations are so central that you’ll find yourself stumbling upon hidden courtyards and medieval streets just steps from your door.
Location & Getting Around
The location score of 9.3 isn’t just marketing fluff — it’s genuinely deserved. I mean, you’re literally in the real heart of Krakow’s Old Town, which means the Main Market Square is probably a two-minute walk away. What surprised me most was how quiet these apartments can be despite being so central. The buildings are tucked into those charming side streets where tourists don’t usually wander, so you get the best of both worlds. Plus, there’s parking available on site, which is honestly a miracle in this part of the city — most places make you hunt for street parking or use expensive lots blocks away.
The Apartment Experience
Each unit feels more like staying in a friend’s place than a typical hotel room. The apartments vary quite a bit since they’re in different buildings, but they all maintain that authentic Krakow charm with high ceilings and original architectural details. You’ll find a proper kitchen in most units, which is perfect for grabbing fresh bread from the local bakeries or picking up ingredients at the nearby markets. The furnishings are simple but comfortable — think modern functionality mixed with old-world character rather than flashy hotel decor.
Practical Considerations
Since these are actual apartments in historic buildings, don’t expect hotel-style services like daily housekeeping or a front desk in the lobby. Check-in is usually coordinated in advance, and you’ll get keys to your specific location. The buildings are old (which is part of the charm), so elevators aren’t always available — something to keep in mind if you’re traveling with heavy luggage. But the trade-off is worth it when you’re sipping morning coffee in your own little corner of medieval Krakow.
Why Guests Love It
Couples absolutely rave about this place — they’ve rated the location 9.5 for romantic getaways, and I can see why. There’s something incredibly intimate about having your own apartment in one of Europe’s most beautiful old towns. You can wander back from dinner at any hour, explore the winding streets at your own pace, and actually feel like you’re living in Krakow rather than just visiting it. For the price point of a three-star property, you’re getting an experience that feels much more authentic and memorable than most traditional hotels in the area.
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.

Joe from United Kingdom (8/10)
Was recently refurbished. Very cosy good for the price and the heated floors was a nice surprise. Room was very warm and cosy as well as being a good location to amenities! Would recommend
Paul from Australia (8/10)
Host was helpful and responsive with any questions
Rafal from United Kingdom (6/10)
Great location yet quiet neighbourhood
Leah from United Kingdom (7/10)
The location was great. I found the sofa more comfortable than the beds. The beds were quite low on the ground due to space. The pillows were quite worn out or cheap opposite of Premier inn type pillows. Had all the amenities you would need, although we didn't cook it did have everything you would've needed if you had.
Karolyi from Poland (7/10)
