Lilly apartment main train station old town by The Heritage House Main Square Cracow Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Lilly apartment main train station old town by The Heritage House Main Square Cracow, you’ll find yourself on a quiet side street that somehow feels both tucked away and perfectly central. The building itself has that classic Krakow charm — you know, the kind of restored architecture that makes you feel like you’re staying somewhere with real history. I mean, when you’re literally steps from the Main Square in a four-star property, you sort of expect something special, and this place delivers without being flashy about it.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s what I love about the location on Radziwiłłowska — you can walk to everything that matters in Old Town, but you’re not dealing with the constant noise of tourists right outside your window. The Main Square is maybe a three-minute stroll, which means you can pop out for morning coffee at one of those sidewalk cafés without it being a whole production. Plus, having the main train station nearby (hence the name) actually makes sense if you’re planning day trips to places like Wieliczka or Zakopane. Couples seem to get this — they’ve rated the location a perfect 10, and honestly, I can see why.

The Apartment Experience

What struck me about staying here is how it feels more like borrowing a friend’s well-appointed apartment than checking into a typical hotel. The space has that Heritage House attention to detail — think modern amenities thoughtfully integrated into a building that respects its surroundings. You’ll have proper room to spread out, which is refreshing after those cramped European hotel rooms we’ve all suffered through. The setup works particularly well if you want to grab groceries from the nearby market halls and actually cook something, though with Krakow’s restaurant scene right outside, you might not bother.

Neighborhood Rhythms

One thing you notice staying in this part of Old Town is how the neighborhood has its own rhythm — early morning, it’s locals heading to work and vendors setting up in the square, then the gentle buzz of daytime tourism, followed by evenings when the area transforms into something more intimate. From the apartment, you’re close enough to join whatever energy appeals to you, but far enough from the main pedestrian routes that you can actually get some sleep. The nearby streets have those little discoveries too — a bookshop here, a wine bar there — that you stumble across just by being in the right location.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

What really works about Lilly apartment main train station old town is how it solves the classic Krakow dilemma: staying central without sacrificing comfort or quiet. You get that perfect location score of 10 because you can walk to Cloth Hall, St. Mary’s Basilica, and the best pierogi spots without planning your day around transportation. But you also get space to decompress and the feeling that you’re living in Krakow rather than just visiting it. For couples especially, there’s something romantic about having your own little corner of this beautiful city — close enough to everything, but still feeling like your own private discovery.

  Estaba a 5 minutos a pie del centro. Un Carrefour a 2 minutos del apartamento. Y a 5 minutos de la estación de tren.
  
  What could be improved: Los utensilios de cocina estaban un poco sucios. En la habitación de arriba no te puedes poner de pie, ya que es muy baja y la cama era muy dura.

• Wonderful – Alla from Germany – February 6, 2023 (9/10)

  Really good place, perfect location (near old town, main railway station and shopping mol). Ideal for 2 people or small company (additional place for sleeping), kitchen is good equipt and clean, fridge, dishwasher, oven and also washing machine.

  Apartment equipped with everything and well organized, as well as an excellent location for the city center and connections

• Very Good – Robert from Poland – December 19, 2022 (8/10)

  Lokalizacja. Lokalizacja. Lokalizacja.
  
  What could be improved: Brak normalnego TV. Ściany nie pomalowane. Chłodno. W opisie jest, że są dwie sypialnie. Ja bym to nazwał łóżkiem piętrowym.

• Many broken things, quality much lower than photos – Leksyk from Switzerland – October 10, 2022 (1/10)

  Its location is central and kitchen well stocked (although note the absence of microwave)
  
  What could be improved: The quality of the apartment is far worse than on the pictures – many things are broken (power sockets, toilet sit, bathroom door)

• Blisko do rynku i do stacji PKP – Maria from Poland – September 27, 2022 (9/10)

  Bardzo dobra lokalizacja – od biedy nawet miejsce do parkowania by się znalazło 🙂
  Duży plus dla gospodarzy za ogromne ilości kawy i expres na kapsułki!
  Świetne rozwiązanie jeśli chodzi o aranżację miejsca. Stara kamienica, ale antresola – i na upartego można próbować organizować pobyt większą grupą niż dwie osoby.
  Ogromna lodówka, pralka, przybory kuchenne… telewizor z popularną platformą do oglądania filmów i seriali…
  Jeśli ktoś lubi kolej – to bliskie sąsiedztwo bocznic kolejowych… jeśli ktoś nie lubi – to ma problem… 😉 chociaż generalnie – nie jest to kłopotliwe i w zgiełku dużego miasta nawet tramwaje są głośniejsze i komunikacja samochodowa.
  Bardzo cicha okolica, jednak blisko do rynku oraz stacji PKP.

• Polecam. Można bez problemu na nogach dojść na starówkę. – Agent013 from Poland – August 25, 2022 (8/10)

  Lokalizacja bardzo dobra, blisko do dworca PKP Kraków, blisko do centrum , na starówkę. W lokalu w zasadzie wszystko co potrzebne do dłuższego, kilkudniowego zamieszkania dla rodziny jest pod ręką, wyposażona kuchnia, pralka.
  
  What could be improved: Brak parkingu, ale można za opłatą zaparkować na ulicy w pobliżu apartamentu. Trochę ciasnawo w środku, jakieś dodatkowe andresole.
