Friendhouse Apartments Starovislna

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Friendhouse Apartments Starovislna? The name makes it sound like some budget hostel situation, but honestly, this place has way more personality than most cookie-cutter hotels I’ve stayed at. It’s one of those spots where you can tell someone actually cared about creating a space that feels lived-in rather than just assembled by a corporate committee.

The apartments themselves are surprisingly spacious – I mean, you’re not getting luxury finishes or anything, but there’s something refreshing about having a proper kitchen where you can actually cook instead of just reheating takeout in a sad little microwave. The whole setup feels more like borrowing a friend’s flat than staying in a hotel, which I guess is exactly what they’re going for. And let’s be real, in a city where hotel rooms can feel like expensive shoe boxes, having room to spread out your stuff and not live out of a suitcase for a few days is pretty fantastic. The 8.2 rating makes total sense once you’re there – it’s not trying to be something it’s not, but what it does deliver is solid and comfortable.

What really works about this place is the location on Starovislna. You’re right in the thick of things without being on one of those impossibly crowded tourist strips where you can’t walk two feet without dodging selfie sticks. I could walk to most of the main sights pretty easily, but when I came back in the evenings, the street had this nice residential vibe that actually let me sleep without earplugs (which, trust me, is not always a given in this part of the city). The building itself has that slightly weathered European charm – you know, the kind where the stairs creak a bit and the elevator is approximately the size of a phone booth, but somehow it all adds character rather than feeling run-down. Check-in was straightforward, though I’d recommend arriving during normal hours because I get the sense this isn’t the kind of place with 24/7 front desk staff waiting around. Parking was actually manageable too, which honestly surprised me given how narrow some of these old streets can be. If you’re looking for somewhere that feels authentic rather than polished, where you can settle in for a few days and actually live a bit like a local rather than just passing through, this place delivers on that promise without breaking the bank.

Krakow’s apartments offer spacious accommodations with historical character, perfect for families wanting to experience daily life in this beautifully preserved Polish city.
