Apartamenty Pod Orłem Overview
You know what caught me off guard about Apartamenty Pod Orłem? The name translates to “Under the Eagle,” and honestly, I was expecting some stuffy, formal place. Instead, it’s this surprisingly charming apartment-style setup that feels more like staying at a well-organized friend’s place than a typical hotel. The 9.3 rating isn’t just inflated review padding either – I mean, you can tell within five minutes of walking in that someone actually cares about the details here.
The apartments themselves have this lived-in comfort that’s hard to fake. Real coffee makers (not those tiny hotel pod things), proper-sized refrigerators, and – this might sound weird but hear me out – the towels actually smell like they’ve been line-dried instead of industrial-washed to death. The furniture’s not matching-set perfect, but it works together in that European way where everything feels intentional without being fussy. I stayed during what seemed like a busy period, and the place never felt chaotic or understaffed. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward too, no endless forms or upselling attempts.
What really sold me on the place was watching how they handle the little things. The walls are thick enough that you’re not hearing every conversation from next door (trust me, this matters more than you think), and there’s actual counter space in the kitchenette for spreading out groceries or travel planning. The three-star rating might make you think it’s basic, but honestly, it punches way above its category. It’s got that sweet spot vibe where you get genuine comfort without paying for marble bathrooms you don’t need. The staff – when you do see them – seem to actually know the area well enough to give real recommendations instead of just pointing you toward tourist traps. I’d definitely stay here again, especially if I was planning to spend actual time in the neighborhood rather than just using it as a crash pad between flights.
Hotels near me in Krakow offer convenient access to the medieval center, where guests can easily walk to St. Mary’s Basilica, Cloth Hall, and traditional Polish restaurants.

Cristina from Canada (9/10)
Very nice central apartment just next to the town center. The apartment is very nicely decorated and has everything you need for your stay. The communication with the host was super easy as well as the check in. We arrived in Krakow very early and were able to check in immediately in the apartment which we really appreciated.
There was complementary coffee and tea which was very nice.
Rituals products in the bathroom was also a nice touch.
The apartment is on the second floor and there is an elevator.Victoria from United States (9/10)
