Hotel Experior Boutique – Destigo Hotels

Hotel Description

So I stumbled onto this place completely by accident while wandering down Szewska Street – you know how it is in Krakow’s Old Town, you’re just following the cobblestones and suddenly there’s this gorgeous entrance that makes you stop mid-stride. Hotel Experior Boutique doesn’t scream at you from the street, which honestly makes it even better. It’s tucked into this historic building that’s been completely reimagined, and when you walk through those doors, there’s this immediate shift from the bustling tourist energy outside to something much more… I don’t know, sophisticated but not stuffy?

The thing that got me right away was how they’ve managed to keep all the character of Old Town – those thick walls, the unexpected room layouts, the windows that frame perfect slices of medieval architecture – but everything feels completely modern where it counts. The rooms are beautifully designed (mine had this amazing view toward the market square), and you can actually get decent Wi-Fi, which honestly isn’t a given in these old buildings. The staff seems to genuinely know their stuff too – not just the typical tourist recommendations, but like when I asked about finding a good pierogi place that wasn’t overrun with tour groups, they pointed me toward this little spot on Grodzka that locals actually go to. Check-in was smooth, no weird deposit holds or passport photocopying drama that you sometimes get with boutique places.

What really sold me on this place was the attention to details that actually matter when you’re traveling. The shower had proper water pressure (miracle in Old Town), the blackout curtains actually blocked the street lamps, and – this might sound weird – but the bed was positioned so you weren’t staring directly at a wall when you woke up. Plus, being right on Szewska means you’re literally a three-minute walk to the main square, but far enough from Florianska Gate that you’re not dealing with the worst of the crowds and street performers until like 2 AM. The neighborhood has that perfect mix where you’ve got those tiny galleries and wine bars that feel undiscovered, but you can still grab coffee or a late dinner without hiking across the city. I mean, it’s definitely not budget territory – this is proper five-star pricing – but for Krakow, especially in this location, it felt worth it. The kind of place where you’re not just staying somewhere convenient, you’re actually experiencing how good this city can be when you’re not fighting through tourist traps every time you leave your room.

Apartments in Krakow provide travelers with authentic local experiences, allowing them to explore traditional Polish markets and cook with regional Galician specialties.

  Location , breakfast was absolutely delicious , the service was top-notch , beautifully decor , very clean place , also the automatic window blinds were very useful
  
  What could be improved: There is a club in the neighbouring building and even our room was on the hird floor we could hear the base until early hours of the morning- it wasn’t bothering my partner so I guess it won’t bother everyone

• Exceptional – Krzysztof from Poland – August 13, 2025 (10/10)

  Niezwykle luksusowy hotel z perfekcyjną obsługą i pięknymi wnętrzami. Pokoje przestronne i czyste, śniadania rewelacyjne oraz świetna lokalizacja. Miejsce, do którego chce się wracać.

• Menager który sprawia że wrócisz to zloto. – Madi from Poland – August 12, 2025 (10/10)

  Baaardzo butikowy hotel w eleganckim stylu, pachnący świeżością, estetyczny, nieprzesadzony.
  Bardzo wygodne łóżko, świetne dobrej klasy kosmetyki do kąpieli o pięknym zapachu. Przyjemne wnętrza, automatyczne rolety w pokoju to duży plus dla leniwych:)
  Pyszne jedzenie, śliczna zastawa, cudowna kelnerka Polko-Nigeryjka( przepraszam ale nie pamiętam imienia), aż miło z nią zamienić kilka słów. Jeśli są jakieś pytania, warto skierować je do osoby która jest na właściwym miejscu. Menager, który sprawia że wrócisz to złoto- wracamy już w czwartek.
  
  What could be improved: Niestety hałas z klubu na dole nie pozwala wypocząć.
