Gertrudy Old Town Apartments Overview
You know what struck me first about Gertrudy Old Town Apartments? The name honestly sounds like your grandmother’s place, but in the best possible way. There’s something refreshingly unpretentious about it – no grand marble lobby or uniformed doormen, just solid apartment-style accommodations that actually make sense for how people want to travel these days.
The thing is, staying here feels more like borrowing a local friend’s place than checking into a typical hotel. I mean, you get proper apartment setups with kitchenettes that are actually functional (not those sad hotel mini-fridges and single-burner situations). The 8.9 rating makes total sense once you settle in – it’s not trying to be fancy, but everything just works. The WiFi doesn’t cut out when you need it most, the hot water pressure is solid, and honestly, the beds are way more comfortable than you’d expect from a 3-star place. There’s this lived-in quality to the furnishings that could feel tired in other hands, but here it just feels… real, I guess?
What really won me over was how quiet it gets at night – and I’m someone who usually packs earplugs for every trip. You’re right in the old town area, so during the day there’s that gentle hum of local life happening just outside, but evenings settle into this peaceful rhythm. The check-in was refreshingly straightforward too – no lengthy presentations about spa services you’ll never use or restaurant reservations you don’t want. They hand you the keys, point out where everything is, and let you get on with your stay. Actually, that might be what I appreciated most about the whole experience. Sometimes the best hospitality is just getting out of your way and letting you enjoy the place you came to see.
Apartments in Krakow provide travelers with authentic local experiences, allowing them to explore traditional Polish markets and cook with regional Galician specialties.

Reviews of Gertrudy Old Town Apartments
Ryan from United Kingdom (9/10)

Manuela7 from United Kingdom (9/10)
It's a great place.
Clean , comfortable , warm, with everything you need. Just a few minutes walk from Wawel Castle and The Main Suare.
I will definitely stay again.Anita from Greece (8/10)
The accomodation was in a very good and central location and everything was accessable on foot from there. The building is new and modern. The room was new, stylish and modern, with a fully equiped kitchen and a fully equiped bathroom. Really cozy with (almost) everything someone may need.
Bryson from United Kingdom (8/10)
Really clean and comfortable and a fabulous location.
Entry instructions were very detailed, with pictures which were very helpful.Toni from United Kingdom (9/10)
We had a great experience here. What a beautiful place.
Very clean and well catered for.
One thing I would say is that the bed was very firm than what we are used to but not a massive issue.
Very central to everything.Holli from United Kingdom (9/10)
Everything was great. Clean, tidy and everything you need for a short stay 👌
Sophie from Gibraltar (9/10)
SUPER FAMILY FRIENDLY-TODDLERS INCLUDED.
Everything. Not only do I literally have nothing bad to say about this place they were fantastic as I had a last minute hellish experience up the road from this apartment so last minute at around 2300 hrs I booked this for somewhere to stay for myself and my young family after being stuck out in the -8° weather and the owner was extremely helpful but we were able to quickly get in and get our kids warm and into bed. I'm super thankful for this. I had previously stayed here, and it's been fantastic both times. I really recommend booking for a couple or a family of 4 is perfect ! 🥰Yuri from Israel (9/10)
Location is really top. At the rather central place, but inside of the quiet inner yard, so no noise from the street. Few steps from the super. Tram station just here and the Old city very close from the host. You can walk around the Old city, come back for the rest and easy continue to walk later, no need transport. Clean and fully equipped. It is a rather small place but good planned and cozy. We stay here at winter period (#2 apartment) and found it warm and comfortable.
