Ice Apartments

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be straight with you about Ice Apartments – the name had me expecting something either super modern or maybe Nordic-themed, but honestly? It’s just a solid, no-frills kind of place that does what it says on the tin. When I first walked in, I was struck by how clean everything felt, you know that crisp, almost sterile cleanliness that some people love and others find a bit cold (maybe that’s where the “Ice” comes from). The lobby’s pretty minimal – think white walls, simple furniture, nothing fancy but nothing shabby either. It’s definitely more apartment-style than traditional hotel, which means you get a bit more space to spread out, and honestly, after staying in shoebox rooms elsewhere, that extra breathing room was actually really nice.

What I really appreciated was how quiet the place stays, even when it seems pretty full. The walls must be decent because I barely heard my neighbors, which is saying something since I’m usually the person complaining about paper-thin hotel walls at 2 AM. The kitchenette situation is pretty sweet too – not huge, but you can actually cook a proper meal if you want to save some money instead of eating out every night. I mean, it’s not going to win any design awards, but the fridge is a good size and the stovetop works fine. The whole setup feels more like staying in someone’s clean, organized apartment than a hotel room, which some people absolutely love and others might find a bit impersonal.

The staff seemed genuinely helpful without being overly chatty – they knew their stuff about the area and gave me solid recommendations without trying to upsell me on tours or whatever. Check-in was smooth, maybe five minutes total, and they actually remembered my name when I passed through the lobby later. That 7.9 rating makes sense to me because it’s the kind of place that doesn’t wow you with fancy amenities or Instagram-worthy decor, but it gets all the basics really right. You’re not paying for marble bathrooms or rooftop pools, but you’re getting clean sheets, reliable wifi, hot water that stays hot, and enough space to actually unpack your suitcase. If you’re the type who spends most of your time exploring anyway and just needs a comfortable, quiet base to sleep and maybe prep some meals, this place hits that sweet spot between budget and comfort without any nasty surprises.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Krakow through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best neighborhoods for experiencing the city’s medieval charm and cultural heritage.

  Comfortable apartment, nice location, and good internet.

• Isabella from Bulgaria (9/10)

  The place has everything one needs for a short stay for work. The access is by codes and it is all very easy. It is clean. The location was good for my trip. There is a tram to the centre just across the street. It is up to 30 minutes walk to the centre.

• Arturo from Poland (7/10)

  Great location, nice building, small but nice flat, nice for a short business trip.

• Miankouskaya from Poland (9/10)

• Elise from Finland (8/10)

  The place and the rooms seemed to be new and clean. Breakfast was quite good, but it would have been nice to know, if it was possible to choose a different breakfast for the following mornings. Door codes worked perfectly.
