CracWoW Old Town Apartment

CracWoW Old Town Apartment Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to CracWoW Old Town Apartment on Garbarska Street, you immediately get that “I’m staying somewhere special” feeling. This three-star place sits right in the heart of Kraków’s Old Town, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. The building has that classic Polish charm — you know, the kind where you feel like you’re stepping into a piece of history rather than just another tourist accommodation.

The Apartment Experience

What I really appreciated about this apartment is how it strikes that perfect balance between authentic and comfortable. The space feels genuinely Polish without being overly themed or touristy. You’ve got a proper kitchen setup, which is actually pretty handy when you want to grab some fresh bread from the nearby market and make your own breakfast. The room layout is thoughtful too — it’s clear someone put real consideration into how travelers actually use a space, not just how it looks in photos.

Location Magic

Here’s the thing about staying on Garbarska Street — you’re literally a two-minute walk from the Main Market Square, but you’re tucked away enough that you won’t hear the late-night revelry. I mean, you can walk to St. Mary’s Basilica faster than most people can find their hotel key card. The street itself has this lovely cobblestone character, and there’s something satisfying about telling people you’re staying in the actual Old Town, not just “near” it. Plus, couples seem to absolutely love this spot (the 9.3 rating kind of speaks for itself), and I can see why — there’s something romantic about having your own little Polish hideaway.

The Practical Stuff

What surprised me most was how well everything actually works. You know how sometimes these historic apartments look great but the wifi is terrible and the shower barely functions? Not the case here. The place runs smoothly, which matters when you’re trying to plan your days exploring Wawel Castle or figuring out which pierogi place to hit next. The fact that recent guests keep praising the location tells you something — when people are happy about where they stayed after they’ve left, that’s usually a good sign.

Why Guests Love It

Honestly, it comes down to authenticity without sacrifice. You’re not staying in some sterile hotel chain, but you’re also not roughing it in a place where nothing works properly. The combination of being right in the Old Town action while having your own space to retreat to is pretty ideal. Whether you’re planning romantic dinners at nearby Szara Gęś or just want to wander the medieval streets at your own pace, this apartment gives you that perfect home base. It’s the kind of place where you actually feel like you’re living in Kraków for a few days, not just visiting it.

Hotels in Krakow offer visitors the opportunity to stay in the heart of this medieval masterpiece, with easy access to castles, churches, and traditional Polish experiences.

• Paul from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Amazing apartment finished to a really high standard. Ideal location 5 mins from square. We hired a car and got parked easily on Garbanska every day we were there. You pay parking from 10am to 8pm. We were out every day before 10am until 5pm so only had to pay parking for 3 hours which was about £4.00.. Apartment is very spacious. Beds are really comfy.. We had a balcony to sit on out back. Will definitely stay here next time we're back.
