Asnyka Old Town

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Asnyka Old Town? It’s actually tucked away on this quiet little street that most tourists completely miss – and honestly, that’s half its charm. I mean, you’re literally a two-minute walk from the main square chaos, but stepping into this place feels like you’ve found some local secret. The building itself has that worn-in character you get with these older Krakow properties, nothing too polished, but everything feels… authentic, I guess.

The thing about staying here is you’re right in the thick of Old Town without dealing with the street performers and tour groups outside your window at 7 AM (trust me on this one). Asnyka street is residential enough that you’ll actually sleep, but step out the door and you can smell the obwarzanek vendors on Floriańska before you even see them. The rooms – well, they’re what you’d expect from a solid 3-star, nothing fancy but thoughtfully done. Good beds, decent bathrooms, and honestly the best part is how quiet it gets at night. I stayed during peak summer season and was worried about noise, but the only sounds were occasional footsteps on cobblestones and maybe some late-night laughter drifting over from the square.

What really impressed me was how the staff actually knew the neighborhood. Not just the obvious tourist spots, but like – they told me about this tiny milk bar around the corner that serves the best pierogi ruskie for about 12 złoty, and pointed me toward the less crowded entrance to St. Mary’s Basilica. Small stuff, but it made a difference. The check-in was smooth too, none of that tourist-trap upselling you get at some places. They just seemed genuinely happy to have you there. I will say the elevator is… well, it’s one of those old European lifts that fits maybe two people and a backpack, so if you’re traveling with lots of luggage, prepare for some stairs. But honestly? That 9.3 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve been there. It’s not trying to be something it’s not – just a really solid place to stay where you feel like you’re living in Krakow rather than just visiting it. Plus (and this matters if you’re planning to explore beyond the main tourist circuit), you’re perfectly positioned to wander into Kazimierz or even walk along the Wisła without fighting through the Main Market Square crowds every single time.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Krakow at least two months ahead for major events like cultural festivals, ensuring the best rates and prime locations near Market Square.

  Property was in a good location, the place was clean and was very easy to check in.
  
  What could be improved: I thought that the seemed bigger in the photos and found that it was quite cramped as the second bedroom was also in the same room as the living space which I hadn’t realised.
