Golden residence apartment

Golden residence apartment Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Golden residence apartment on Rakowicka Street, you’d honestly never guess from the outside that you’re about to step into one of Kraków’s best-kept accommodation secrets. The building looks pretty typical for this part of the Old Town — which is actually perfect because you’re staying somewhere that feels authentically local rather than touristy. I mean, when you’re getting a 9.4 rating from guests, something’s clearly working right.

Location Magic

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re literally in the heart of everything, but tucked away enough that you won’t have drunk tourists stumbling past your window at 2 AM. The Old Town location means you can walk to the Main Square in about five minutes, maybe seven if you stop to grab a zapiekanka from one of the street vendors (which you absolutely should). Couples seem to get this place — they’ve rated the location 9.5 for romantic trips, and honestly, I can see why. There’s something about being able to wander back from dinner without worrying about trams or taxis that just makes everything more relaxed.

The Apartment Experience

This three-star place punches way above its weight class. The apartment setup means you get proper space to spread out — not just a cramped hotel room where your suitcase becomes a permanent floor fixture. You know what’s really nice? Having a proper kitchen when you want to make coffee the way you like it, or store some of those amazing Polish pastries you’ll inevitably buy too many of. The whole place feels more like staying at a friend’s flat than a typical hotel, which is exactly what you want when you’re trying to experience a city like a local.

Practical Perks

Let’s talk about something that’ll save you actual headaches — they have private parking on site. If you’ve ever tried to park in Kraków’s Old Town, you’ll understand why this is basically like finding gold. Most places around here either don’t have parking at all, or they’ll send you to some sketchy lot fifteen minutes away. The fact that you can actually park your car and not think about it again until you leave? That’s worth the price of admission right there.

Why Guests Love It

The 9.4 overall rating isn’t just a number — it reflects what happens when a place gets the fundamentals right without trying to be something it’s not. You’re not paying for a fancy lobby or a spa, but you’re getting clean, comfortable space in an unbeatable location with thoughtful touches that matter. The owners clearly understand that travelers want to feel settled, not like they’re camping out in someone else’s idea of what a hotel should be. Plus, there’s something satisfying about staying somewhere that locals would actually choose for visiting family, rather than a place that exists purely for the tourist machine.

Krakow hotels provide guests with luxurious accommodations in Poland’s cultural capital, known for its perfectly preserved medieval architecture and rich royal history.

Reviews of Golden residence apartment

• Hayley from New Zealand (10/10)

  Great location, very close to station. Had everything we needed – kitchen, washing machine, nice little deck.

• Elvira from Ukraine (10/10)

  The apartments fully meet the standards of short-term rental. Objectively, they have everything that a family of two or three people needs for a comfortable stay. The kitchen has all the necessary dishes and appliances. Everything is in working order. It's nice that there was salt and sugar and tea and coffee, something that travellers don't need to buy. The location is very good, 7 minutes to the railway station, 3 minutes to the tram stop, and at the same time a quiet corner and a safe and cosy yard where children can walk.

• Birdzhan from Bulgaria (10/10)

  Nice apartment in a quiet location. Not far from the city center, about 15 minutes walk. There is a shop nearby. Comfortable beds and well eqipped kitchen.

• Vasili from United Arab Emirates (9/10)

  The location itself is excellent, with new buildings and a train station nearby. However, there is a nuance about its drawbacks. The apartments are quite nice, clean, and equipped with everything needed. The mattress is fantastically soft.

• Nicola from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Had everything we needed and was very clean

• Urszula from United Kingdom (10/10)

• Kasia from Poland (9/10)

  Idealna lokalizacja, 10 minut spacerem z dworca głównego. Mieszkanie komfortowe, ciepłe, gustownie urządzone, wygodne łoże małżeńskie. Właściciel umożliwił nam wcześniejszy meldunek (byliśmy z 2 starszymi osobami, które były zmęczone 6 h podróżą pociągiem) za co bardzo dziękujemy. 20 minut spacerkiem do Sukiennic, 30 minut na Wawel.

• Rosa from Portugal (10/10)

  Apartamento muito bem decorado e equipado com tudo o que é necessário. Limpa, localização perto da estação central e shopping onde encontra supermercados, e restaurantes. Dono muito prestativo e preocupado.
