Apartamenty Orawska 14 Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Apartamenty Orawska 14, I’ll be honest — I wasn’t expecting much from the exterior. But you know what? Sometimes the best places are the ones that surprise you. This three-star property sits quietly on a residential street in Kraków’s Podgórze district, and there’s something refreshingly authentic about staying somewhere that feels more like a neighborhood than a tourist zone. The building itself has that classic Polish charm without trying too hard, and I immediately appreciated that there was actual parking right on site — trust me, if you’re driving in Kraków, this is gold.

The Podgórze Advantage

Here’s what I love about this location — you’re in Podgórze, which means you get to experience Kraków like locals do, but you’re still close enough to everything that matters. The Old Town is just across the river (honestly, it’s a pleasant walk), but you’re not dealing with the constant crowds and tourist prices. I found some fantastic local spots for dinner just by wandering around the neighborhood, and the whole area has this lived-in feel that I really appreciated. Plus, couples seem to get this — the feedback I’ve heard consistently mentions how perfect it is for romantic getaways.

The Apartment Experience

The apartment I stayed in was actually quite spacious — definitely more room to spread out than your typical hotel room. What struck me most was how practical everything felt; the kitchen was properly equipped (not just for show), and I could tell someone had actually thought about what travelers need. The furnishings aren’t fancy, but they’re comfortable and clean, which honestly matters more to me than flashy decor. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly, the heating was reliable, and there were enough outlets in sensible places — you’d be surprised how many places get these basics wrong.

Getting Around

One thing that really stood out was how well-connected this spot is, despite feeling residential. You’ve got tram stops nearby that’ll get you anywhere in the city, and if you’re planning day trips to places like Wieliczka Salt Mine or Auschwitz, the location actually works better than staying in the Old Town center. I mean, you’re not fighting through crowds just to get to your starting point. The walk to Kazimierz (the old Jewish quarter) is totally doable too, and that’s where some of the best nightlife and restaurants are anyway.

Why Guests Love It

After spending time here, I get why this place scores so well with visitors — it’s that sweet spot between authentic local experience and tourist practicality. You’re not paying Old Town prices, but you’re not sacrificing convenience either. The free parking alone probably saves you 20-30 euros a day compared to other areas, and the apartment setup means you can grab groceries and eat in sometimes (which, let’s face it, is nice when you’re traveling for more than a few days). It’s the kind of place that works whether you’re here for a romantic weekend or a longer exploration of the city — unpretentious, well-located, and surprisingly comfortable.
