Fogra Travel Apartment Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw “Fogra Travel Apartment” on the booking site, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But sometimes you get pleasantly surprised, you know? This little gem actually punches way above its weight class, which probably explains that solid 9.0 rating it’s been pulling.

The thing that struck me right away was how… well, livable it felt. I mean, most hotel rooms feel like sterile boxes where someone occasionally sleeps, but this place actually feels like an apartment you’d want to hang out in. The kitchen isn’t just for show – it’s got proper cookware and a full-sized fridge, which honestly saved me a fortune on eating out every meal. There’s this nice worn-in quality to the furniture that makes you think actual people have made themselves comfortable here, not just passed through. The Wi-Fi is surprisingly solid too, which matters more than people admit when you’re trying to plan your next day or video call home.

What really gets me is the attention to small stuff that most places completely ignore. The shower pressure is actually decent (you’d be amazed how many places mess this up), and they’ve got blackout curtains that work – none of that thin fabric nonsense that lets every street light turn your room into a disco. The neighborhood has this authentic feel where you’ll hear normal city sounds but nothing too crazy, and honestly, that background hum kind of becomes white noise after the first night. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward too – no lengthy speeches about amenities I’ll never use or trying to upsell me on breakfast packages. Just keys, directions to the room, and “let us know if you need anything.”

I will say, don’t expect luxury touches or Instagram-worthy marble bathrooms. This isn’t that kind of place, and I get the feeling they’re not trying to be. But here’s the thing – sometimes you just want a clean, comfortable space that doesn’t feel like you’re living in a catalog photo. The value proposition here is pretty compelling, especially if you’re the type who spends more time exploring than lounging around your room. It’s functional in the best possible way, and there’s something refreshing about a place that focuses on getting the basics really right instead of adding fancy touches that don’t actually improve your stay.

Reviews of Fogra Travel Apartment

  • Freddy from Norway (9/10)

    This is one of the most beautiful apartment I ever seen! And the rooms where spacious. And the kitchen was very well equipped. The coffee machine grineded coffee beans and made high quality coffee! For me thats a good start of the day!
    The house owner was very friendly and was servce minded. He spoke also very well russian for those who are not that comfortable in english.

  • Sarah from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Lovely host who waited for us to let us in when we arrived very late. She gave us some great local restaurant recommendations and very kindly allowed us to check out late. Communication was clear. Apartment was very clean and had everything we needed for a weekend in Krakow. Great location close to the old town and very good value for money.

  • Alessandro from Switzerland (9/10)

    Very comfortable position, near Stare Miasto, clean and good staff.

  • Tessa from Netherlands (9/10)

    Location was amazing. Near main train station and big shopping mall, near old city centre, next to shop open 24/7 for basic groceries. We were with five friends and slept divided in two rooms at Westerplatte location. You have to be quite comfortable with each other since there isn't a lot of privacy, but we had a great time! Easy to cook in the kitchen or go out in city centre.

  • Parmdeep from United Kingdom (9/10)

    I liked that the apartment was nice and clean. The hostess was such a helpful person that accomodated any requests for us and just overall a very genuine lovely person to deal with

  • Nash from United States (8/10)

    Fantastic location and very comfortable

  • Andy from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Central location. Very spacious apartment apart from the toilet. Allowed to stay longer at no extra cost.

  • Klavs from Latvia (9/10)

    Everything was just brilliant. The personal understood our situation and allowed us late checkin and late checkout.
    Location is the best, everything is around and close to central train station.
    Super high ceiling and all interior gives you some royal feeling ❤️

  • Oz from United Kingdom (9/10)

    The apartment was spotlessly clean.
    It was so convenient to the old town of Krakow and within walking distance of so many places.

  • Elza from Latvia (9/10)

    Great location, it was spacious, had everything needed for a nice stay.
