Hotel Description

You know what? I wasn’t sure what to expect from CracWoW K8 Apartments when I first booked it – I mean, that name definitely makes you do a double-take. But honestly, this little 3-star gem surprised me in all the right ways. The moment you walk in, there’s this refreshing lack of pretension that bigger hotels sometimes have. It’s clean, it’s comfortable, and the staff actually seems to care about making your stay work.

The apartments themselves are what I’d call “smartly simple” – everything you need without the fluff you don’t. The kitchenette actually has decent cookware (not those sad plastic spatulas you usually get), and I was genuinely impressed by how quiet it stays even when the building’s full. The Wi-Fi is solid too, which saved me during a work call that ran longer than expected. What really struck me was the attention to small details – proper blackout curtains that actually block light, decent water pressure in the shower, and outlets positioned where you’d actually want to plug things in. Those might sound like basic things, but you’d be amazed how many places get them wrong.

The 8.3 rating honestly feels about right – it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, but it delivers on what it promises. I stayed during what seemed like a busy period, and check-in was still smooth and friendly. The cleaning crew clearly takes pride in their work, and maintenance issues get handled quickly (my bathroom faucet was acting up, and someone fixed it within an hour of mentioning it). If you’re the type of traveler who values substance over flash, and you want a place that feels more like a comfortable apartment than a sterile hotel room, CracWoW K8 gets it right. Sure, you won’t find a fancy lobby or room service, but sometimes that’s exactly what you want – just a solid, well-run place where you can actually relax.

Hotel in Krakow booking should be done early, especially during summer season when the city hosts internationally acclaimed cultural festivals and medieval celebrations.

Reviews

  • Aleksandra from Poland (9/10)

    I had a very pleasant stay in the property. Everything was perfect from the nice interior, utilities, cleanliness. location just outside of Rynek, to the staircase filled with a beautiful smell of pastry in the morning due to the nearby bakery. Bed was comfortable and so was the whole set up. Bathroom is indeed small but entirely sufficient for one person. There’s a hairdryer, wine opener, a fan. I did not experience any of the things mentioned by other reviews such as noise from outside or the neighbours or bad smell.

  • Ion from Romania (8/10)

    The location was amazing, very close to the center. The check in and check out were very smooth, no issues there. The bed was very comfortable. The apartment was clean and had the basic amenities.

  • Diana from Poland (9/10)

    Very well equipped and perfect location

  • Konstantinos from Greece (9/10)

    I had the pleasure of staying in this wonderful apartment during my vacation, and it exceeded all expectations! The location is absolutely perfect – just a short walk to the old center and all the main attractions, making sightseeing incredibly convenient. Public transportation is easily accessible as well, with stops nearby, making it easy to explore other parts of the city.

    The apartment itself is spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The balance between the price and the value provided was very good – truly great for the quality offered.

    A special highlight was the amazing smell of freshly baked Polish pretzels that wafted through the building, thanks to the pretzel store on the ground floor. It was such a delightful and unique touch, adding to the charm of the stay.

    I recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a convenient, clean, and comfortable place to stay with a little extra magic from the local culture. I would definitely stay here again!

  • Tamas from Serbia (9/10)

    The apartment was small but perfectly formed for a couple, with everything we needed. It was spotlessly clean and easy to find. The location was excellent, and we had no trouble finding parking in the neighborhood (90 PLN/24 hours).

  • Theofani from Greece (7/10)

    near to centre

  • Christina from Greece (8/10)

    A small cozy apartment. In the heart of the city center, just 2 minutes from the Old Town by foot. Right outside there was a tram station, a caffe and a mini market. Also, extra points from us for having a smart TV, cause we like to watch youtube videos to relax.
