LUXURIOUS APARTMENTS Cracow

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about LUXURIOUS APARTMENTS Cracow? The name makes it sound a bit flashy, but honestly, it’s more sophisticated than showy. I mean, yes, it’s definitely upscale – solid 4-star territory with an 8.6 rating that actually feels earned – but there’s this understated elegance that works really well in Krakow’s context. The apartments themselves have this modern Polish design thing going on, where everything’s sleek and functional but still feels warm somehow. I particularly loved the way they’ve done the kitchens – proper appliances, not those tiny hotel room setups, which actually matters if you’re staying more than a couple nights.

What really sets this place apart is how it fits into Krakow’s rhythm. The location puts you close enough to the Old Town that you can walk to the main square without breaking a sweat, but you’re not dealing with the constant stream of tour groups and street performers right outside your window. The neighborhood has that residential feel where you’ll see locals doing their grocery shopping and walking their dogs – gives you a much better sense of what the city’s actually like beyond the tourist bubble. Parking was surprisingly manageable too, which anyone who’s driven in Krakow will tell you is no small thing. The check-in process was refreshingly straightforward; none of that overly formal hotel reception drama, just friendly staff who seem to actually know the city well enough to give decent recommendations.

Here’s what I’d tell anyone considering staying here: if you’re the type who likes having space to spread out and maybe cook a meal or two, these apartments deliver without feeling sterile or corporate. The soundproofing is solid – important in a city where the nightlife can get enthusiastic – and the beds are actually comfortable, not just expensive-looking. The whole setup works particularly well if you’re staying four or five days and want to settle in rather than just crash between sightseeing marathons. Sure, it’s pricier than your basic hotel room, but when you factor in having a proper living area and kitchen facilities, plus being in a neighborhood where you can grab groceries at normal prices instead of tourist markup, it sort of balances out. I’d definitely come back, especially during shoulder season when you can really take advantage of having that extra space without the summer crowds making everything feel rushed.

Reviews

  The accommodations at Luxurious Apartments Cracow lived up their name. The beds were very comfortable for our party of six adult family members and the AC kept us cool at night during some very warm weather. The living room provided a comfortable place to chill out after a long day of touring the city. The location was good — a 15- to 20-minute walk to Cracow’s Old Town. I’d heartily recommend the apartment to any other travelers.

  Beautiful clean and very unique

• Pawel from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Location was fantastic on the edge of the district of Kazimierz. Old town a short walk away. Check in was super easy and the hosts very responsive when messaged with questions. The apartment we stayed in felt quite homely too which is nice for a trip with the whole family. It's nice that it feels this way compared to a functional rental with no character, of which there are many nowadays. We traveled with our 6 month old baby and although we had an issue with the travel cot that was provided, the hosts were very helpful in providing us with a brand new one as soon as they could. A member of our group also has mobility issues and needs to use a wheelchair and struggles with walking and stairs. The apartment was suitable for their specific needs with bedrooms and both bathrooms on the entry floor and access to the apartment on the 6th floor by lift with no steps.

  Spacious comfy flat.

• Nick from United Kingdom (8/10)

  Great apartment in a brilliant location close to the amazing Jewish Quarter. About a 15 minute walk from Market Square and then a 15 minute walk to Schindlers Factory so ideally placed. Plenty of shops around and then the Jewish Quarter has by far the best bars and restaurants. Apartment has a great roof terrace overlooking the city and facing Wawel Castle

• Willem from Netherlands (9/10)

  Beautifull appartment on a great location, with a great view from the balcony. If you want to see the inner city, everything is walkable from the appartment. The facilities were great, and the appartment itself was very clean when we arrived. Host was also very friendly and reacted quickly on messages/questions.

• Christopher from Norway (9/10)

  Cool and quite modern apartment with a fantastic view and balcony. Just make sure you book the biggest apartment, as the same page has two different neighbouring apartments. You want the one with a big balcony, sauna and bubblebath.
  There are lots of restaurants nearby and an easy walk or taxi ride to get to placed in the city. All in all satisfied with the stay compared to the price.

• Patricia from United Kingdom (9/10)

• Lorna from United Kingdom (9/10)

  It was exactly as it was described, luxurious and a perfect location.

• Krista from Finland (9/10)

  Great apartment in an excellent location just next to Kazimierz and a short walk from the old town. At least three small grocery stores and a bakery were located just next to the place. A very nice, sunny terrace, big living room, two bathrooms (plus the jacuzzi and the small sauna) and a well equipped kitchen were perfect for our group of six friends. If we had any questions our hosts replied very quickly.
