Hotel Description
Look, I’ve stayed in my share of Krakow apartments over the years, and Crystal Luxury on Rakowicka really caught me off guard – in the best possible way. You know how sometimes a place just feels right the moment you walk in? That’s exactly what happened here. The building itself sits on this quiet stretch of Rakowicka Street, which honestly is perfect because you’re close enough to Old Town that you can walk to the Main Square in about fifteen minutes, but far enough that you don’t get the late-night party noise that plagues some of the more central spots.
The apartments themselves are what I’d call “thoughtfully luxurious” – and I mean that in the sense that someone actually considered how people live, not just how things look in photos. The kitchens are properly equipped (I’m talking real knives and decent cookware, not the plastic nonsense you usually get), and the living spaces have this nice balance of modern comfort without feeling sterile. What really impressed me was the attention to details that matter when you’re actually staying somewhere for more than a night – good water pressure, blackout curtains that actually block light, and storage space that makes sense. The bathrooms are genuinely spa-like, which sounds like marketing speak but honestly, after walking around Krakow’s cobblestones all day, that rainfall shower hits different.
Here’s what really sets this place apart though – the location is absolutely brilliant for anyone who wants to experience Krakow like a local. You’re practically neighbors with some fantastic milk bars and cafes that most tourists never find, and there’s this little park nearby where locals walk their dogs in the morning. I actually found myself taking a different route to the Old Town each day just because the neighborhood itself is worth exploring. The tram connections are solid too, which matters if you’re planning day trips to places like Wieliczka or just want to avoid the tourist-packed routes through the center. Parking was surprisingly stress-free – they’ve got it sorted, which anyone who’s tried to park near Krakow’s center will appreciate. The only tiny critique I’d have is that the elevator can be a bit slow during busy periods, but that’s honestly nitpicking when everything else works so well. At a 9.7 rating, this place isn’t just meeting expectations – it’s the kind of spot that makes you start planning your next Krakow trip before you’ve even checked out.
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.

Specious, clean and every that you would need for a city break
What could be improved: Duvet in main room was very small and didn’t fit the bed.
The curtains in the main bedroom were so thin that it let the lights at the crack of dawn. A blackout blind would perfect.Comfortable smart apartment to provide a great stay. – Brenda from United Kingdom – April 10, 2025 (9/10)
