Arts Apartments – Kraków Old Town

Arts Apartments – Kraków Old Town Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Arts Apartments – Kraków Old Town on Łobzowska Street, you immediately get that feeling you’ve found something special. This three-star property sits right in the heart of Kraków’s Old Town, and honestly — the location alone makes it worth considering. The building has this understated charm that fits perfectly with the historic neighborhood around it. You know what I mean when you see a place and think “yeah, this feels right”? That’s exactly what happened here.

The Neighborhood Advantage

Here’s the thing about staying on Łobzowska — you’re literally a few minutes’ walk from the Main Market Square, but you’re not dealing with the constant tourist chaos right outside your window. I actually appreciated this balance more than I expected. You can grab morning coffee and pastries from the local bakeries, then wander over to see the Cloth Hall or St. Mary’s Basilica when you’re ready. The Planty Park (that green ring around the Old Town) is right there too, which makes for nice evening walks after a day of sightseeing.

The Apartment Experience

The apartment I stayed in felt more like a well-designed city flat than a typical hotel room. There’s actually a proper kitchen setup — not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation — which means you can pick up ingredients from the nearby markets and cook if you want to. The space feels thoughtfully arranged, with enough storage that you’re not living out of your suitcase the whole time. I mean, after a few days of Polish pierogi and kielbasa (not complaining!), sometimes you just want to make a simple breakfast at home.

What Makes It Work

The 9.2 rating honestly makes sense once you’ve been there a few days. It’s not trying to be flashy or over-the-top — it’s just doing the fundamentals really well. The place stays quiet at night despite being in the city center, which I wasn’t entirely expecting. Parking in Old Town Kraków can be a nightmare, but they’ve sorted that out too. The staff knows the neighborhood inside and out, so when you ask about where to find the best zapiekanka or which museums are worth your time, you get actual local insights rather than generic tourist advice.

Why Guests Love It

Look, couples especially seem to love this place — and I can see why. There’s something romantic about having your own little apartment in one of Europe’s most beautiful medieval cities. You can cook dinner together, then step out for evening drinks in the atmospheric Old Town squares. The combination of independence and location creates this perfect balance where you feel like you’re living in Kraków rather than just visiting it. Plus, when you’re paying three-star prices but getting this level of location and quality, it honestly feels like you’re getting away with something.

Reviews of Arts Apartments – Kraków Old Town

• Bcsilva from Germany (10/10)

  The apartment is beautiful with very nice decoration and the bedroom is very spacious. The spa bath is awesome. Very quiet in a really nice neighbourhood near coffee shops and other shops. Also very close to the old town and also the public transports. I highly recommend this place.

• Amanda from United Kingdom (10/10)

  The apartment was absolutely beautiful and so close to the town everything was walking distance. I mentioned it was my partners birthday and a card was and bottle of fizz was there when we arrived which was so lovely. I contacted the owner for a few things and she was so helpful. Even sorted a trip to auschwitz with transfers so definitely recommend contacting her directly to sort that if you are wanting to go. Was our first trip to krakow but will not be the last. Thankyou again x

• Sandra from Ireland (9/10)

  The room was spotlessly clean, lovely and warm and a very comfortable bed.

• Jazmin from United Kingdom (10/10)

  couldn’t be more pleased with the location. The hotel is just a short walk away from the Old Town, making it incredibly convenient to explore and see the local attractions. It’s ideal for anyone who wants to be close to the action but still enjoy a peaceful evening at the end of the day. The Room was perfectly cleaned when we arrived, with fresh towels and bed sheets. After a full day out, we realized we ran out of clean towels and it was quite late, however, our host sorted this out for us straight away. Unfortunately, my partner got food poisoning from the Ski Resort and straight away our host helped us with a 24hour chemist and medication to help with the sickness. Our host was amazing at communication and helping with our needs. I would 100% be staying at this apartment again and it is massively recommended.

• David from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Lovely clean apartment, comfy beds, and location was perfect just outside of the main square. Staff were very informative and helpful. Everything you need for a short stay in krakow. Would stay again on next visit.

• Briony from United Kingdom (10/10)

  We absolutely love staying here. This is the third time and won't be the last. It's a 7 minute walk to the square. It has door codes instead of keys and everything is sent over and explained in advance so no stressing when you arrive. No check in or check out to do you just arrive when you can after 4 and leave before 12. Beds are comfy, living room is spacious and everything is clean. Would definitely recommend.

• Noorah from Netherlands (10/10)

  Katarzyna helped us with any questions we had (for example arranging a transfer at 3 AM) and always responded super quick. Everything was clean and neat and the kitchen was small, but well supplied. Super close to the Christmas Market as well, around 7 min walk.
