Metropolis Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Metropolis Apartments on Krowoderska Street, you immediately sense you’ve found something special in Krakow’s Old Town. The building has that perfectly restored Polish charm — not too polished, but clearly well-maintained. What struck me first was how quiet this little street feels despite being right in the heart of everything. You’re literally steps from the main square, but there’s none of that tourist chaos that can make some Old Town stays feel overwhelming. The location truly captures the essence of staying in a historic neighborhood.

Location & Neighborhood

Honestly, the location is pretty much perfect if you want to experience authentic Krakow. You can walk to the Main Market Square in about three minutes, but you’re tucked away on a residential street where locals actually live. I loved watching people head to work in the morning while I grabbed coffee from the little café around the corner. The Planty gardens are right there too — perfect for evening walks when the crowds thin out. Having private parking on-site is actually a huge deal here, since finding a spot in Old Town can be a nightmare. The neighborhood truly rewards exploration.

The Apartment Experience

These aren’t your typical hotel rooms — Metropolis Apartments gives you proper apartment-style accommodations with kitchenettes and separate living areas. The four-star rating shows in the details: quality linens, modern bathrooms, and that satisfying feeling when everything just works properly. I mean, the WiFi was fast, the heating responded quickly, and the windows actually blocked out street noise. The apartments feel more like staying in a friend’s well-appointed flat than a generic hotel room, which makes longer stays particularly comfortable. This thoughtful design sets it apart from standard accommodations.

Practical Comforts

What I appreciated most was how thoughtfully equipped everything was. The kitchenette had proper dishes and cookware — not just the bare minimum you sometimes get in apartment hotels. There’s a decent-sized refrigerator, which comes in handy when you discover Krakow’s fantastic food markets. The bathroom setup was modern without being sterile, and honestly, the water pressure was better than my apartment back home. Small touches like having enough electrical outlets and good lighting for reading made the space feel genuinely livable. Every detail contributes to the overall comfort.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.3 rating makes complete sense once you’ve stayed here. Couples especially seem to love this place — probably because you get that romantic Old Town atmosphere without sacrificing comfort or dealing with paper-thin walls. You’re close enough to everything that matters but far enough from the late-night party crowds that cluster around certain parts of the square. The combination of authentic location, practical amenities, and that rare find of on-site parking creates exactly what most travelers want: a genuine Krakow experience without the usual compromises of Old Town accommodations. This property truly delivers on its promise.

  • Exceptional – Olga from Poland – June 28, 2025 (10/10)

    I often travel to Kraków for work, and every time I stay in this apartment – it’s become my go-to place. I’ve stayed in both a one-bedroom and a studio, and I honestly love it here. The location is perfect: just a short walk to the city center and the main train station.

    The apartment is modern, stylish, and feels brand new. It’s fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay – from kitchen essentials to proper heating and cozy touches. The blackout curtains are also a big plus for a restful sleep.

    Personally, I found everything I needed here, and I’ll definitely be staying again in the future. Highly recommend!

  • Perfect location for a weekend or few days away in Krakow, just a short walk from the Old Town and the facilities were v – Adam from United Kingdom – June 19, 2025 (8/10)

    Very clean and well looked after, smaller space makes for a cosy atmosphere and the bathroom is helpfully spacious.

    What could be improved: Entry on arrival was a little confusing but we figured it out in the end. Unfortunately our air conditioning wasn’t working and it was a very hot few days.
