Julia Apartments Rakowicka – Old Town Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Julia Apartments Rakowicka – Old Town, you immediately get that feeling you’ve stumbled onto something special. This three-star property sits right on Rakowicka Street, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better — you’re literally in the heart of Kraków’s Old Town without the tourist chaos that comes with being directly on the main square. The building has that classic Polish charm, but what really caught my attention was how quiet it felt despite being so central.
The Apartment Experience
These aren’t your typical hotel rooms — each apartment feels like staying in a local friend’s place, but with all the amenities you actually need. The kitchen setup is surprisingly well-equipped (I mean, you can actually cook a proper meal here), and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. What I loved most was the attention to detail — good lighting, comfortable furniture, and windows that actually open properly. You know what’s rare? Having enough electrical outlets exactly where you need them, and somehow they nailed that.
Location Magic
Here’s the thing about this spot — you’re close enough to walk to Wawel Castle in about ten minutes, but far enough from the main tourist strips that you’ll actually sleep well at night. The Kazimierz district is just across the river, and I found myself wandering over there for dinner most evenings. There’s a small grocery store literally around the corner, which becomes incredibly handy when you realize you can make your own coffee in the morning instead of hunting for an overpriced café.
Practical Perks
The private parking situation is honestly a game-changer if you’re driving — finding a safe spot for your car in Kraków’s Old Town usually involves either paying through the nose or walking forever from some distant lot. Here, you just pull up and you’re done. The whole check-in process was refreshingly straightforward too, no unnecessary complications or hidden fees that pop up later. I appreciated that they actually respond to messages quickly, which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how often that doesn’t happen.
Why Guests Love It
That 9.8 rating isn’t just numbers on a screen — it reflects what happens when a place gets the fundamentals right without trying to be something it’s not. Couples especially seem to connect with this spot, probably because it offers that perfect balance of being central but intimate. You get the independence of having your own space, the convenience of being steps away from everything worth seeing, and the peace of mind that comes with staying somewhere that clearly cares about the details. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to extend your stay, not because it’s flashy, but because it just works.
Krakow hotels provide guests with luxurious accommodations in Poland’s cultural capital, known for its perfectly preserved medieval architecture and rich royal history.

Judette from United Kingdom (9/10)
This property was spotless and in a beautiful part of the city, not far from the train/bus station so an easy walk into the centre. It had a gorgeous balcony which we made use of in the evenings and it was very modern, small as it was a studio but loads of storage space. It felt very safe and we would definitely stay again!
Padjac from United Kingdom (9/10)
Spotlessly clean. Very comfortable bed. Everything on hand you would need. Netflix. Balcony with table and chairs which were comfy to sit out on in evenings. Could not fault.

A single room in a new apartment block with all the amenities you can ask for. Spacious, at least for a single person stay, with plenty of storage space, nice balcony, tranquil neighborhood. I had a very pleasant stay here and will recommend the place to everyone. Julia is good and promptly communicating host.
