Apartamenty Kącik 8 Overview

You know what? I almost walked right past Apartamenty Kącik 8 the first time I was looking for it – it’s tucked away in this quiet residential area that honestly feels more like where locals actually live than tourist central. And that’s exactly why I ended up loving it. The building has that understated Polish charm where you’re not quite sure what to expect until you get inside, but then you realize the owners actually put thought into making this a proper home away from home rather than just another cookie-cutter rental.

The apartments themselves are surprisingly spacious – I mean, when you see “3-star” you’re bracing yourself for cramped, right? But these folks really maximized the space well. The kitchenettes are actually functional (I managed to cook a decent breakfast with real pots and pans, not those flimsy tourist things), and there’s enough counter space that you don’t feel like you’re playing Tetris with your groceries. The beds are proper comfortable too, which honestly surprised me because apartment rentals can be hit or miss on that front. What really got me though was how quiet it stays at night – you’re far enough from the main drag that you don’t get the usual city noise, but close enough that a quick tram ride gets you wherever you need to go.

Here’s the thing that really sets this place apart: the 9.0 rating isn’t just numbers on a screen, you can actually feel it in how they run things. Check-in was smooth (they actually answered their phone when I called about arriving early), the WiFi works properly throughout the apartment, and when I had a question about the washing machine, someone got back to me within an hour. These sound like small things, but when you’re staying somewhere for more than just a night or two, that kind of reliability matters. The neighborhood itself grows on you too – there’s this little bakery about two blocks away that locals line up at in the mornings, and you’ll find yourself doing the same by day three. Sure, it’s not going to wow you with fancy lobbies or room service, but if you want a clean, comfortable base where you can actually settle in and live a bit like a local, this is your spot. Plus, and I’ll be honest here, the value is pretty solid – you’re getting way more space and character than you’d find in most hotels at this price point.

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.

  • Peyton from Netherlands (9/10)

    The Owner responded quickly to any questions that I had regarding access and parking. He even came out personally, together with his family in the car, to assist me with directions.

  • Katerina from Czech Republic (9/10)

    The owner allowed us an early check-in and did all he could to make us happy. We could park for free in the backyard. The room was very nice, just renovated with kitchen and bathroom equipment. We liked the decor and there was plenty of space. The bathroom was clean and very nice. The neighborhood is calm. We would stay longer if we could!

  • Neringa from Lithuania (9/10)

    Location is great, the place is really clean and had all we needed for a visit.

  • Laura from United States (7/10)

  • Bartosz from Poland (8/10)

    Świetny kontakt z właścicielem. Zadbane było wszystko jak trzeba pod kątem udostępnienia obiekty. Dzięki właścicielowi nie pozbyłem się słuchawek 😅
    Dzięki uprzejmości właściciela mogliśmy zostawić spakowane bagaże po zakończeniu noclegu i ruszać na kilka godzin jeszcze na zwiedzanie.

  • Vlada from Poland (9/10)

    Właściciel był bardzo gościnny i przyjazny, przywitał nas, kiedy przyjechaliśmy. Pokój był czysty, szczególnie podobała mi się czysta łazienka. 😊 W samym pokoju było cicho, okna wychodziły na patio. W odległości 100m znajduje się przystanek tramwajowy, bardzo wygodny dojazd do centrum

  • Habriella from Ukraine (9/10)

    Рекомендую дані апартаменти. Кімната не дуже велика але є всі зручності, зручні ліжка, чиста постільна білизна, на кухні є посуд, каструлі, сковорідки. У шафці на кухні був цукор, сіль, кава, чай. Туалет та душова чисті та охайні. Для проживання на декілька днів з сім'єю супер варіант. Також нам надали пракувальне місце позаду будинку. Сподобалось місцезнаходження апартаментів, до центру 30 хв повільним шагом, поруч є великий торговий центр.
