HOUSEHOST Apartment: Starowiślna Street 36/27 Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to HOUSEHOST Apartment: Starowiślna Street 36/27 feels like you’re about to unlock a secret in Kraków’s Old Town. The building sits right on Starowiślna Street, and honestly, you can’t get much more central than this — I mean, you’re literally steps away from the Main Market Square. This three-star apartment doesn’t try to be fancy, but it nails what matters most: location and comfort in a city where being close to everything makes all the difference.
The Heart of Old Town
You know what’s great about staying here? You can walk to Cloth Hall in about three minutes, maybe less if you’re eager to see those medieval arches up close. The Royal Route is practically at your doorstep, and when evening comes around, you’ll hear the trumpet call from St. Mary’s Basilica — it’s one of those things that makes you realize you’re really in the heart of historic Poland. The cobblestone streets can be a bit tricky with luggage (fair warning), but once you’re settled, everything from Wawel Castle to the Jewish Quarter in Kazimierz becomes an easy stroll.
The Space Itself
The room setup works well for couples — actually, that 9.4 location rating from couples makes total sense when you experience it yourself. It’s not huge, but it’s thoughtfully arranged with everything you need for a few days of exploring. The windows face the street, so you get that authentic Old Town atmosphere (though it can get lively on weekend nights — part of the charm, really). The place feels more like staying in a local’s home than a typical hotel, which I found refreshing after so many cookie-cutter accommodations.
Practical Considerations
Getting around from here is incredibly straightforward — the main train station is about a 10-minute walk, and trams run regularly if you’re heading to areas like Nowa Huta or want to venture beyond the historic center. There’s a small grocery store just around the corner on Grodzka Street, which comes in handy for grabbing water or snacks. The building itself is older (this is Old Town, after all), so don’t expect an elevator, but the climb isn’t too bad and adds to that authentic Kraków experience.
Why Guests Love It
That 9.3 rating really shows when you’re actually staying here — it’s the kind of place where location trumps everything else, and in a city like Kraków, that’s exactly what you want. You’ll save money on taxis and public transport because honestly, you can walk to most attractions. Plus, there’s something special about falling asleep to the sounds of the Old Town and waking up knowing you’re already where most tourists are trying to get to. It’s simple, well-located, and gives you that authentic feel of living in one of Europe’s most beautiful historic centers.

Wygodny apartament w super lokalizacji.
Stanislaw from Poland (10/10)
Lokalizacja bardzo dobra, choć okolica od ostatniego czasu stała się brudna i zaniedbana, niestety z winy napływających imigrantów. Apartament bardzo komfortowy, świetnie wyposażony, czysty i przytulny. Duży i przestronny apartament z dobrym doborem umeblowania i wygodnym łóżkiem. Bardzo dobry kontakt z właścicielem, który reagował na nasze prośby natychmiastowo i bardzo profesjonalnie

Aleksandra from Poland (9/10)
Dobra lokalizacja. Czystość apartamentu była zadowalająca. Dobre wyposażenie mieszkania. Ładne przestronne lokum. Suszarka do włosów na wyposażeniu łazienki. W kuchni można było znaleźć takie podstawowe produkty jak: sól, cukier, kawa, herbata. Apartament jest położony dalej od ulicy, dzięki czemu jest tam cicho i spokojnie.
