Exclusive Royal Apartments

Exclusive Royal Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Exclusive Royal Apartments on Podzamcze Street, you immediately understand why this spot gets such rave reviews for location. I mean, you’re literally steps away from Wawel Castle — you can practically reach out and touch the medieval walls. The building itself has that classic Krakow charm, tucked into the cobblestone streets of the Old Town where every corner feels like a postcard. It’s a three-star property, so don’t expect marble lobbies or doormen, but honestly, the location more than makes up for any fancy frills you might miss.

The Heart of Old Town

What really struck me about staying here is how you’re positioned right in the thick of everything that matters in Kraków. The Main Market Square is just a few minutes’ walk — perfect for those early morning coffee runs before the tourist crowds descend. You know what’s great? You can actually hear the Hejnał trumpet call from St. Mary’s Basilica if you listen carefully in the evenings. The Vistula River is right there too, which means lovely walks along the water when you need a break from all the medieval architecture (though let’s be honest, that doesn’t happen often).

Your Space

The apartment setup works really well here — you get proper living space instead of just a cramped hotel room. Each unit has a functional kitchen area, which is honestly a lifesaver when you want to grab some local bread and cheese from the nearby market and have breakfast at your own pace. The furnishings are comfortable without being fancy, and the windows — well, some of them give you glimpses of the castle, which never gets old. The Wi-Fi actually works properly, and there’s decent storage space for longer stays.

Practical Perks

Here’s something that’ll save you headaches: they have private parking available, which is basically gold in this part of Kraków. Trust me, trying to navigate Old Town streets with a rental car and find parking elsewhere is not how you want to spend your vacation time. The staff speaks English well enough to help with directions and recommendations — they pointed me toward a fantastic pierogi place that I never would have found on my own. The building stays pretty quiet too, even though you’re in such a central spot.

Why Guests Love It

Look, couples absolutely adore this place, and I can see why — there’s something romantic about staying this close to one of Europe’s most beautiful castles. The location score speaks for itself, and when you’re paying three-star prices for what’s essentially a front-row seat to Kraków’s best attractions, it feels like you’re getting away with something. You’ll spend more time exploring and less time commuting from some distant hotel district. Plus, when your feet are tired from walking those cobblestones all day, you’re never more than a few minutes from your own space to recharge.

  Easy check-in and check-out process.
  Ample sleeping space with extra towels and sheets. Very spacious area overall, with lots of lights and plugs. Everything felt modern and updated, while still being a classic apartment.
