Golden Dreams Luxury Apartments 21 Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Golden Dreams Luxury Apartments 21 on Rakowicka Street, you immediately get that “I made the right choice” feeling. It’s tucked into Kraków’s Old Town in a way that feels authentically local — not touristy, but definitely central to everything you’d want to see. The building itself has this understated charm that fits perfectly with the neighborhood’s character, and honestly, the location alone justifies booking here.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re literally in the heart of everything, but it doesn’t feel overwhelming. The apartment sits right where you want to be for exploring Kraków’s historic center, and couples especially seem to get this (they’ve rated the location 9.6, which makes total sense). You can walk to the main square in just a few minutes, but when you come back at night, you’re not dealing with the chaos of being right on top of all the bars and restaurants. Plus, there’s parking on site, which — trust me — is a huge deal in this part of town.

The Space

What struck me about the room setup is how they’ve managed to make it feel spacious without being impersonal. You know how some apartment-style accommodations can feel a bit sterile? This doesn’t have that problem at all. The kitchen area is actually functional (not just for show), and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. For a three-star property, the attention to detail really surprised me — everything from the lighting to the way they’ve arranged the furniture just works.

What Makes It Special

The thing about Golden Dreams is that it gets the balance right between being in the thick of things and giving you a proper place to recharge. I mean, when you’re exploring a city like Kraków, you want to be close enough to duck back for a quick break or to drop off shopping bags. The fact that it’s scored 9.5 for location isn’t just marketing speak — you really can feel how well-positioned it is once you start moving around the city. The Old Town can get pretty busy during peak times, but this spot manages to feel like a peaceful home base.

Why Guests Love It

With a 9.4 overall rating, there’s clearly something working here, and I think it comes down to expectations being not just met but exceeded. You’re getting that apartment-style independence with hotel-level service, all while being positioned perfectly for exploring Kraków’s best bits. The combination of the central location, the thoughtful space design, and those little touches that show someone actually cares about the guest experience — it all adds up to something that feels like a real find rather than just another place to sleep.

Best hotels in Krakow range from charming boutique properties in the historic Market Square to elegant converted palaces with stunning views of Wawel Castle and the Vistula River.

Reviews of Golden Dreams Luxury Apartments 21

  • Evangelos from Greece (10/10)

    Perfect location in a brand new building very near to the railway station , bus station and old town . The owner was very friendly and the apartment was very clean . Also, idea for 4 persons as the sofa turns into bed .

  • Craig from United Kingdom (10/10)

    The host was very polite and always at the other side of the phone to help or answer any questions. I will certainly recommend as it’s good value for money. If I go back to Krakow, I will certainly book the apartment again.

  • Yuliia from Poland (10/10)

    Pięknie urządzone mieszkanie, właściciel super dostępny.

  • Lana_h from Ukraine (9/10)

    Затишна квартира в новому домі. Чисто, красиво, майже є все необхідне. Дуже багато місць для речей, вбудованих шкафів. Близько до історичного центру, торгового центру, вокзалу. І хороші шумопоглинаючі вікна, тому що не було чути ні потягів ні будівельних робіт (сусіди робили ремонти). Красивий внутрішній двір, близько маленька, зелена зона для відпочинку з дитячим майданчиком.

  • Marika from Poland (10/10)

    Czystość, lokalizacja, wygląd wnętrza, wygodne łóżko, wyjątkowy kontakt z właścicielem

  • Gabriela from Poland (10/10)

    Bardzo polecamy ten obiekt. Łatwy dojazd do obiektu, świetna lokalizacja, blisko Rynku Głównego. Czysty, komfortowy, pięknie urządzony i dobrze wyposażony apartament. Cudowny ogród przed budynkiem. Świetny kontakt z właścicielem, niemal natychmiastowa odpowiedź na każdą wiadomość. Mimo, że nie zdążyliśmy zarezerwować miejsca parkingowego, właściciel polecił inny strzeżony parking bardzo blisko obiektu. Polecamy jednak wcześniej rezerwować sobie miejsce na parking podziemnym 😉
