Central station apartments Overview

So here’s the thing about Central Station Apartments – the name pretty much tells you everything you need to know, and honestly, that’s not a bad thing. I mean, when you’re rolling into town with luggage and just want to drop your bags somewhere that won’t break the bank, being right by the central station is actually brilliant. No hunting around for taxis or figuring out bus routes when you’re exhausted from traveling.

The place has that practical, no-nonsense vibe that some travelers really appreciate. It’s a solid 3-star setup, nothing fancy but everything works the way it should. The apartments themselves are bigger than your typical hotel room – you get a proper kitchenette which is perfect if you’re staying more than a couple nights or just tired of eating out every meal. I actually loved having coffee in the morning without having to get dressed and hunt down a café, you know? The furnishing is pretty standard European apartment style, clean lines and functional, though don’t expect any Instagram-worthy design moments.

What surprised me was how quiet it gets at night, considering you’re basically on top of a major transport hub. Sure, you’ll hear the occasional late train if you’re a really light sleeper, but it’s more of a gentle urban hum than anything jarring. The windows are decent quality, and honestly, there’s something kind of soothing about knowing the whole city is connected right outside your door. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – none of that overly formal hotel reception drama, just practical people who know most guests are either just arriving or about to leave town.

The neighborhood grows on you pretty quickly. Within a five-minute walk you’ve got everything from quick grab-and-go spots to proper sit-down restaurants, plus all those little shops that seem to stay open later than they should. And here’s something the booking sites don’t tell you – the area actually has some character once you start exploring beyond the immediate station vicinity. There are these great little side streets with cafes where locals actually hang out, not just tourists killing time between trains.

Look, I won’t pretend this place is going to wow you with luxury touches or stunning views. But sometimes you just want somewhere clean, comfortable, and ridiculously well-located without paying premium prices for amenities you won’t use anyway. The 7.7 rating makes perfect sense to me – it’s exactly what it promises to be, no more, no less. If you’re the type who values being able to walk to trains, buses, and the city center in minutes over having a fancy lobby, this spot delivers. Plus, and this might sound weird, but there’s something reassuring about falling asleep knowing you could literally walk to your departure point even if every form of transport mysteriously disappeared overnight.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Krakow through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best neighborhoods for experiencing the city’s medieval charm and cultural heritage.

Reviews of Central station apartments

  • Kwiatuszek86 from United Kingdom (7/10)

    The location is very convenient !

  • Teodora from Romania (9/10)

    CENTRAL STATION- a place to stay in Krakow. ❤️

    For 4 people, the space is relatively small if you plan to stay in the room more time.
    However, considering that we needed a clean place to sleep and shower, it was very satisfactory. We spent most of our time sightseeing and returned to the room no more than 2 hours before bedtime.
    You have access to a refrigerator, a microwave, and a two-burner stovetop for quick cooking.
    What’s great is that it’s only a 7-minute walk from the train station and a maximum of 25 minutes on foot from the Old Town. You have easy access to trams and trolleybuses. Nearby, you’ll find Carrefour, Zapka (a convenience store), or Biedronka inside Galeria Krakowska, located at the train station.

    The linens were white and clean, and there were individual towels. Additionally, there was an iron and ironing board. The bathroom also had a washing machine and a hairdryer. ❤️
    Quiet and cozy atmosphere.
    The TV is connected to the internet.

    The host responded promptly to my requests (Wi-Fi password) and welcomed me with a very kind message.
    In conclusion, I recommend it!

    Lokalizacja, blisko do Starego Miasta i dworca PKP. W pokoju było ciepło. Materac na łóżku wygodny, ale sofa w części bardzo twarda. Pościel czysta, ręczniki również.
