M3 Main Square Studio Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to M3 Main Square Studio on Studencka Street, you immediately get that “I’m in the real Kraków” feeling. This three-star place sits right in Old Town — and I mean really in it, not on some sketchy edge where hotels claim to be central but aren’t. The building has that classic Polish charm without trying too hard, and honestly, the location alone makes you feel like you’ve scored something special.

The Heart of Old Town

You know what’s brilliant about this spot? You’re literally steps from the Main Market Square, which means you can stumble back from dinner without worrying about trams or taxis. I’ve stayed in places that claim great locations, but this one actually delivers — couples consistently rate it 9.3 for location, and after walking around the neighborhood, I totally get why. The medieval streets, the castle views, those little cafes tucked into corners — it’s all right there. Plus, you’re close enough to hear the trumpet call from St. Mary’s Basilica if you open your windows.

The Studio Space

The room itself is what you’d expect from a well-thought-out studio setup. It’s not huge, but everything has its place, and the layout actually works — I mean, you’re not bumping into furniture every time you move around. The design feels modern without being sterile, and there’s enough storage that you won’t be living out of your suitcase the whole time. The windows let in good light during the day, which makes the space feel bigger than it probably is.

Practical Stuff That Matters

Here’s what I appreciated — the little details that make a difference when you’re actually staying somewhere. The Wi-Fi works properly (not always a given in Old Town buildings), and the shower has decent water pressure. The building’s entrance is easy to find, which sounds obvious but trust me, some of these historic streets can be confusing when you’re dragging luggage. The whole setup feels like someone actually thought about what travelers need, rather than just throwing together a apartment and calling it a day.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t about fancy amenities or over-the-top service — it’s about being exactly where you want to be in Kraków. When you can walk to Wawel Castle in ten minutes, hit the cloth hall whenever you want, and find yourself in the middle of all those gorgeous squares and churches, the 8.8 rating starts making perfect sense. The value proposition is solid too — you’re getting that prime Old Town location without paying the premium that some of the bigger hotels charge. For couples especially, there’s something romantic about being tucked away on a quiet street but still in the thick of everything that makes Kraków special.

Reviews of M3 Main Square Studio

  • Vyacheslav from United States (9/10)

    The space and general condition of the building are excellent.

  • Pronina from Ukraine (9/10)

    The apartment is very cosy, spacious enough. Everything you need is provided, the kitchen is fully equipped. Generally, it looks nice and is comfortable.

  • Janet from United Kingdom (9/10)

    A perfectly comfortable and easy experience. Very happy with the room and location. No noise. Staff were quick to respond and resolve minor issues. The bed was super comfortable, the room warm and I had everything I needed for a few days. Only thing I wish it had was black-out shades on the window. I'm a light sleeper. When the sun rose, I woke up with the light – I couldn't enjoy the comfy bed for too long in the morning, unfortunately!

  • Lee-ann from United Kingdom (8/10)

    The location was excellent. Close to the main square but far enough away to provide a pleasant 5 min walk into town and explore a little! The room was clean and modern. The exposed brick ceiling decor was a nice feature. Entry is via keybox, which made check-in/out very easy. There appear to be around 5 apartments in the -1/basement floor all with the same landlord and l particularly liked that the apartments appear on Google, Uber, tour company websites etc so it's easy to get transport arranged when needed directly to the door.

  • Sarah from United Kingdom (9/10)

    The curved roof , nice bathroom , big bed

  • Steven from United Kingdom (8/10)

    Ideal location to centre. About 5min walk to get into square. Nice little apartment for all your needs.

  • David from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Loved this basement apartment especially the red brick curved ceiling. Everything I needed was supplied. Entry was by key code supplied by email. Quiet residential area about 8-12 minute walk from the main square.

  • Niamh from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Loved the interior and size of the apartment. Great shower and it was handy to have a fridge.

    Nice and cosy

  • Oleg from Ireland (9/10)
