CracWoW K8 No.8 Apartment Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to CracWoW K8 No.8 Apartment on Karmelicka Street, you immediately get that “I’m in the real Kraków” feeling. This three-star apartment sits right in Old Town, and I mean really in it — not on some touristy edge where you’re still hiking to see anything worthwhile. The building itself has that classic Polish charm, and honestly, the location alone makes this place special before you even step inside.
The Heart of Old Town
Here’s what I love about staying here — you’re literally eight minutes from the Main Market Square, but you’re on a quieter street that doesn’t feel like a tourist highway. Karmelicka runs parallel to the main drag, so you get all the benefits without the constant stream of tour groups walking past your window. The couples who stay here absolutely rave about the location (they’ve rated it 9.5), and I totally get why. You can grab morning coffee from one of the local spots, wander over to Wawel Castle when the mood strikes, or just people-watch from the Jewish Quarter that’s practically next door.
The Space Itself
The room setup works really well for what it is — you’re getting proper apartment-style accommodation rather than just a hotel box. There’s enough space to actually unpack and settle in, which makes a difference when you’re staying more than a night or two. The kitchen area is compact but functional, perfect for those moments when you want to grab groceries from the nearby Galeria Krakowska and have a quiet breakfast before heading out. I mean, eating pierogi from the local spots is great, but sometimes you just want your own coffee, you know?
What Makes It Work
The thing about this place is that it strikes this nice balance — it’s not trying to be fancy, but everything works properly and feels clean and comfortable. The 9.2 rating honestly reflects what you get: solid accommodation in an absolutely killer location. You’re close enough to everything that matters, but far enough from the main tourist chaos that you can actually relax. The Old Town can get pretty intense during peak hours, so having a quiet base to retreat to makes a real difference in how your trip feels.
Why Guests Love It
Look, if you want to be in the thick of historic Kraków without paying premium hotel prices, this apartment delivers exactly that. The location score of 9.8 isn’t just numbers — it’s the reality of being able to walk to Cloth Hall, St. Mary’s Basilica, and dozens of incredible restaurants without ever needing transport. Plus, there’s something nice about having your own space rather than dealing with hotel lobbies and schedules. You can come and go as you please, store your own snacks, and actually live in the city rather than just visiting it from some distant hotel base.

Reviews of CracWoW K8 No.8 Apartment
Nikola from Montenegro (9/10)
The flat is in great condition – super clean, warm, and it has everything you need. Also, the hosts are great with communication. You are just a step away from the city center (main square), the restaurants and other shops are around the building. Great!!!
Erdem from United Kingdom (9/10)
Great location; minutes from the old town; there is also 24/7 market just below the flat. It was nice and warm. It was also great to see there was a nice big size LG smart tv so we could watch movies from Netflix and so on.
Sarah from United Kingdom (9/10)
Lovely clean centrally located apartment.
Δάφνη from Greece (9/10)
It was very big and near the city centre. It's on the second floor so the lack of elevator was not an issue. The host is very helpful and answers quickly!
