M2 Main Square Studio Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard “M2 Main Square Studio,” I was expecting another generic city center crash pad. But you know what? This little 3-star spot actually surprised me in the best way possible.

The location is honestly what makes this place shine. I mean, being right on the main square means you’re literally in the thick of everything – and I actually mean everything. Morning coffee runs become this lovely ritual where you’re dodging early commuters and watching the square come alive with vendors setting up their stalls. The sounds drift up through the windows (which, fair warning, means it’s not exactly library-quiet at night), but there’s something oddly comforting about falling asleep to the distant hum of evening conversations and the occasional late tram rumbling past. The studio itself is compact – well, it’s in the name, right? – but they’ve clearly put thought into maximizing the space. The kitchenette is actually functional, not just decorative like some places, and the bathroom has decent water pressure, which honestly matters more than people admit.

What really got me was how the staff seemed to actually know the neighborhood. When I asked about breakfast spots, the guy at the front desk didn’t just point me toward the hotel restaurant – he told me about this tiny bakery two streets over that opens at 6 AM and makes these incredible pastries that locals queue up for. That’s the kind of intel you can’t get from booking sites, you know? The whole building has this lived-in feel that’s refreshing after staying in too many sterile chain hotels. Sure, the elevator is one of those old European contraptions that takes forever, but climbing the stairs gives you glimpses into the courtyard that most guests probably miss. Parking is… well, it’s city center parking, so forget about it unless you enjoy paying premium rates. But honestly, once you’re here, everything’s walkable anyway. The square’s got that perfect European buzz during the day – street musicians, impromptu markets, people just hanging out on benches – and it mellows into something more intimate in the evenings.

The 8.5 rating makes total sense once you’ve been there. It’s not trying to be fancy or revolutionary, but it delivers on what matters: you’re staying somewhere that feels connected to the actual pulse of the city, not some sanitized tourist bubble. I’d definitely book it again, especially if you’re the type who wants to feel like you’re experiencing a place rather than just visiting it.

    As a solo traveller, I have to have somewhere that feels safe. Also close to amenities. This apartment was absolutely perfect. Short journey from the airport. Short walk from the main square. Beautifully decorated and furnished. It had everything you could want. Also with it being a private apartment it was perfect being able to come and go as I chose. Would highly recommend and would definitely use on returning to Krakow. Excellent value for money too. Also has coffee machine with coffee and coffee filters. Also tea and sugar, just need to buy milk if you require it.

    location, design, availability of everything you need.

  • Jevgenia from Estonia (9/10)

    A great flat just 5-7 min walk from the main square. Location is excellent and the highlight of this apartment. Everything is literally a walk away. Very clean, great WiFi and a big nice shower. Comfy bed, smooth check in and check out. Tasty coffee provided as well! Just be aware that it might be a bit dark in the room as it’s downstairs, but that wasn’t a problem for me.

    No Bf, but a lovely place to stay, and the location was great.
