Aparthotel BC 29 Residence Overview

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much from BC 29 Residence when I first pulled up – I mean, it’s technically an aparthotel, which can go either way in my experience. But honestly, this place surprised me in all the right ways. The building itself has this understated charm that doesn’t scream “look at me” from the street, but once you’re inside, everything just feels… right. The lobby’s got these warm lighting fixtures that make the whole space feel welcoming rather than sterile, and the front desk staff actually seemed happy to see me (not always a given, let’s be honest).

What really won me over was the apartment setup – these aren’t your typical cramped hotel rooms with a mini-fridge shoved in the corner. I’m talking about proper living spaces with kitchenettes that you’d actually want to use, separate sleeping areas, and enough room to spread out your stuff without feeling like you’re living out of a suitcase. The bathroom was surprisingly spacious too, with one of those rainfall showerheads that actually has decent water pressure. Small thing, but it matters when you’ve been walking around all day. The whole place feels more like staying in a friend’s well-appointed apartment than a hotel room, which I guess is the point, but they really nailed the execution here.

I stayed during what seemed like a busy period, but the soundproofing was solid – didn’t hear much from neighboring rooms or street noise, which can be a real issue in some city locations. The cleaning staff clearly takes pride in their work; everything was spotless without that overwhelming chemical smell some places have. One thing I appreciated was how the building seemed to attract a mix of business travelers and families, so there was this nice energy without being too corporate or too chaotic. Check-in was smooth, parking was straightforward (always a relief), and they had this genuine helpfulness about local recommendations that felt authentic rather than rehearsed. For a 3-star place, BC 29 Residence punches way above its weight – that 9.2 rating isn’t just numbers on a screen, it’s actually earned. If you’re looking for somewhere that gives you space to breathe and feels like home base rather than just a place to crash, this is definitely worth considering.

Reviews of Aparthotel BC 29 Residence

  • Ann from Belgium (10/10)

    Super friendly staff at the entrance, very welcoming, room and accommodation very clean and a great view. We are already looking to book again this accommodation and to visit beautiful Krakow again.

  • Katie from United Kingdom (10/10)

    Perfect accommodation for my stay in Krakow. Located in the Jewish quarter and just 15/20 min walk to the old town. We found it very easy to get into the place event at midnight & the apartment was modern, clean and had everything we needed. Very quiet and didn’t hear anything at night! Staff were very helpful & there was a place to store luggage on the last day

  • Jacqui from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Location was great and breakfast options were really good. Staff on-site were friendly and very helpful responding to messages promptly. Kitchen was stocked with all the basics to get you going.

  • Malcolm from United Kingdom (10/10)

    Practically everything. It was spacious, clean, warm, comfortable and within walking distance to everything, but far enough away to be quiet at night.
    Perfect.

    This place was outstanding, in the most beautiful of places, and ideal place for me to rest. The gentleman who dealt with me, was excellent, attentive, helpful, and always on hand. I have re booked to return and will now always use this place. Gary

  • Imogen from United Kingdom (10/10)

    The location was great , short walk from the town and brilliant square right next door with shops and food places. we did struggle to see the entry though as the sign for the building is on the glass of the door and hard to notice so maybe a more prominent sign would be helpful especially if arriving at night

  • Helen from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Excellent location, great size, modern, good facilities, easy and great breakfast delivered to our door!

  • Alex from United Kingdom (10/10)

    Perfect location for a reasonable price…..just had the most perfect stay here and suited all our needs
