DOLCE VITA Elegant Apartments Overview

You know what struck me first about DOLCE VITA Elegant Apartments? The name actually fits – and that’s honestly pretty rare these days. I mean, you walk in and there’s this immediate sense that someone really thought about the details here. It’s not trying to be a flashy five-star palace or anything, but there’s something genuinely sophisticated about the whole setup that makes that 9.5 rating make complete sense.

The apartments themselves are what really got me though. Each one feels like someone’s carefully curated home rather than just another hotel room with generic art on the walls. The kitchens are actually functional – I’m talking full-size appliances, decent counter space, the kind of setup where you could realistically cook a proper meal if you wanted to. The living areas have this relaxed elegance going on, comfortable furniture that doesn’t look like it came from a hotel supply catalog, and windows that let in tons of natural light. Honestly, the attention to comfort is what sets this place apart from typical three-star properties. You’ll find little touches everywhere – proper hangers in the closets (not those weird ones you can’t remove), quality linens that don’t feel scratchy, bathroom amenities that don’t smell like industrial soap.

What I really appreciated was how quiet it stays, even though you’re not stuck out in the middle of nowhere. The building seems well-insulated, so you’re not dealing with hallway conversations at midnight or street noise keeping you up. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward too – no lengthy presentations about resort fees or pushy upselling, just friendly staff who seemed to actually know the area well enough to give useful recommendations. The whole vibe is sort of understated luxury, if that makes sense. It’s the kind of place where business travelers can get work done without feeling like they’re in a sterile corporate box, but it’s also comfortable enough for a romantic getaway or family trip. I’d definitely stay here again – actually, I’m already thinking about booking for next spring when the weather’s perfect for exploring the neighborhood on foot.

  • Cory from United Kingdom (8/10)

    Comfy bed , very central location 5 minutes from town square

  • Robert from United Kingdom (10/10)

    Easy to enter. No need to wait for anyone. This was specially useful for me because my flight was delayed and I arrived in the middle of the night. However, access codes I was given were perfect for immediate entry.

    Also, there was no need to climb many stairs which I had to do in a different apartment in Krakow on another occasion. So this room is very handy if you can't or prefer not to climb many stairs or you have lots of luggage.

    The room actually had a working little fridge ON so didn't have to work out how to turn it on. It has a little kitchenette that was very handy too.

    It is very central – just off the center, only a short walk to center square on one side and the train station on the other side. That was very convenient.

  • Judith from Spain (9/10)

    Aunque es un apartamento bastante pequeño tiene todo lo necesario para una estancia corta. Estaba muy limpio. Está muy cerca del centro, perfecto para ir andando. Las instrucciones para hacer el check-in fueron claras y sencillas. No tuvimos ningún problema así que no nos hizo falta ponernos en contacto con los propietarios.

  • Klaudia from Poland (10/10)

    Wszystko na najwyższym poziomie. Czysto, ciepło, elegancko. Żadnych problemów. Właściciele pod ciągłym kontaktem. Bardzo polecam!
