INX Design Hotel Overview
First Impressions
Walking into INX Design Hotel on Starowiślna Street, you immediately get that this is a four-star property that actually cares about design. The lobby has this sleek, contemporary vibe that feels fresh without trying too hard — honestly, it’s a nice change from some of the overly traditional places you’ll find around Kraków. The staff greeted me with genuine warmth, and I could tell right away that this wasn’t going to be one of those sterile business hotels.
Perfect Old Town Position
Here’s what I love about the location — you’re literally in the heart of Old Town, but on a street that doesn’t get completely overrun with tourist crowds. Starowiślna runs parallel to the main tourist drag, so you’re maybe a three-minute walk from the Market Square, but you can actually get some peace when you want it. I mean, couples rate this spot 9.0 for good reason. You can walk to Wawel Castle in about ten minutes, and there are some fantastic local bars and cafés right around the corner that most tourists never discover.
The Room Experience
The room I stayed in was genuinely impressive — clean lines, quality materials, and they’ve clearly invested in proper blackout curtains and soundproofing. You know what really stood out? The bed was actually as comfortable as they claim it to be. I’m usually skeptical when hotels boast about their beds, but I slept incredibly well here. The bathroom was modern and spacious, with a rainfall shower that had proper water pressure — something you can’t always count on in historic city centers.
Breakfast and Practical Touches
The buffet breakfast was solid — not groundbreaking, but they had quality ingredients and plenty of options. Fresh pastries, good coffee, and they included some local Polish specialties alongside the international standards. What I really appreciated was the private parking they offer, which is honestly a godsend in Kraków’s Old Town where finding a spot can be a nightmare. It’s not cheap, but if you’re driving, it’s worth every złoty for the peace of mind.
Why Guests Love It
This hotel hits that sweet spot where modern comfort meets authentic location. You’re staying somewhere that feels contemporary and well-run, but you’re also genuinely in the thick of one of Europe’s most beautiful historic centers. The staff seems to understand that travelers want both — they’ll give you excellent local recommendations, but they won’t hover or oversell you on tours. It’s the kind of place where you can have a great night’s sleep after exploring the city all day, then wake up and be back in the medieval streets within minutes. Whether you’re visiting for business or leisure, this property delivers on both style and substance.
Krakow’s apartments offer spacious accommodations with historical character, perfect for families wanting to experience daily life in this beautifully preserved Polish city.
