K4 APARTHOTEL KRAKÓW Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to K4 APARTHOTEL KRAKÓW on Krótka Street, you immediately get that “I’m in the real Kraków” feeling. This four-star property sits right in Old Town — and I mean really in it, not on some touristy edge where hotels usually claim to be central. The building itself has that perfect blend of historic charm and modern touches that you hope for but rarely find in this part of Poland. The location puts you at the heart of the city’s cultural heritage, surrounded by centuries of architecture and tradition.

Location That Actually Matters

Honestly, the location here is pretty exceptional. You’re literally steps from the main square, but tucked away enough that you won’t hear drunk tourists stumbling around at 2 AM. I’ve stayed in plenty of Old Town hotels, and most are either too noisy or too far from anything interesting — this one gets the balance right. The couples who rate this place highly for location aren’t exaggerating; you can walk to Wawel Castle in about ten minutes, and the Jewish Quarter is an easy stroll across the river. This positioning makes it ideal for exploring Kraków’s most significant attractions on foot.

The Apartment Experience

What sets this place apart is that you’re getting an actual apartment rather than just a hotel room. Each unit comes with a proper kitchen setup, which is honestly a game-changer when you want to grab some Polish bread and cheese from the market and have breakfast on your own schedule. The spaces feel more like temporary homes than hotel rooms — there’s enough storage for longer stays, and the layouts actually make sense for couples or small families. This apartment-style approach gives guests the flexibility and comfort of a residential stay.

Breakfast Worth Mentioning

The breakfast situation here is actually impressive for a property this size. They’ve got everything covered — Italian options, full English breakfast, vegetarian, vegan, even halal and kosher choices. It’s served buffet-style, which works well because you can try a bit of everything. What I appreciated most was that they seem to source locally when possible; the Polish pastries and regional specialties give you a real taste of where you are, not just generic hotel food. The quality and variety set a high standard for the entire stay.

Why Guests Love It

The 9.6 rating makes sense once you’ve been here. It’s that rare combination of location, comfort, and thoughtful details that frequent travelers learn to appreciate. The fact that there’s private parking available on-site is huge if you’re driving — finding parking in Old Town Kraków can be a nightmare otherwise. Plus, the spa facilities give you a place to unwind after walking cobblestones all day. The staff seems to understand that people staying here want independence but also want support when they need it, which is exactly the right approach for an aparthotel concept.

Best hotels in Krakow range from charming boutique properties in the historic Market Square to elegant converted palaces with stunning views of Wawel Castle and the Vistula River.

Reviews of K4 APARTHOTEL KRAKÓW

  • Averyous from Germany (10/10)

    Very clean , great utilities and convenient location

  • Birim from Turkey (10/10)

    The hotel staff was extremely helpful and sorted out any problems. We were provided many practical information about the town and many nice recommendations by the staff. The room is so spacious and the hotel provided some toys for my kids in our room. That was thoughtful. The location is safe and quiet but extremely close to old town and you can walk easily anywhere. Highly recommended for travelers especially with kids.

  • Sally from Australia (10/10)

    The apartment was spacious, beautifully clean and very well-equipped. I particularly loved how quiet it was, as I’m a light sleeper. The location was fabulous – we were only a few minutes walk to the old town square. I would definitely love to return to this apartment.
