Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Leo Apartments Main Square? It’s one of those places that gets the fundamentals right without trying to be something it’s not. I mean, sure, it’s a 3-star property, but honestly – sometimes that’s exactly what you want. The location is pretty much unbeatable if you’re looking to be in the thick of things. When they say “Main Square,” they actually mean it. Step outside and you’re literally surrounded by the kind of local life that makes a trip memorable – morning coffee vendors setting up their carts, street musicians tuning their instruments, locals cutting through on their way to work. The sound of the square kind of becomes this gentle background hum that, weirdly, I found more soothing than annoying.

The apartments themselves have this lived-in quality that I actually appreciated. Nothing’s brand new or Instagram-perfect, but everything works and there’s character in the slightly creaky wooden floors and the windows that open wide enough to let in that perfect cross-breeze on warm evenings. The kitchenettes are small but functional – I managed to make decent coffee every morning and even threw together some simple meals with ingredients from the market just around the corner. What really won me over was how the staff seemed to genuinely know the neighborhood. The guy at reception (I think his name was Marco?) gave me directions to this little bakery that doesn’t show up on any tourist maps but makes the most incredible pastries. That’s the kind of local knowledge you can’t fake.

Look, I’ll be honest – if you’re expecting luxury touches or designer furnishings, this isn’t your spot. The Wi-Fi can be a bit spotty during peak hours, and the elevator is one of those old European jobs that moves at its own pace. But here’s the thing: staying here felt authentic in a way that a lot of hotels don’t. You’re not insulated from the city; you’re part of it. I’d wake up to the sound of the market vendors setting up, grab coffee from the place downstairs, and be exploring cobblestone streets within minutes. The 8.3 rating makes perfect sense to me – it’s not trying to be a resort, it’s trying to be a great home base, and it absolutely nails that. If you’re the type of traveler who values location and character over thread count and marble bathrooms, Leo Apartments gets it right. Plus, honestly, you’ll probably end up spending most of your time wandering the square and surrounding streets anyway.

Apartments in Krakow provide travelers with authentic local experiences, allowing them to explore traditional Polish markets and cook with regional Galician specialties.
