Modern Apartment close to the center

Hotel Description

So I actually stumbled across this place while hunting for somewhere decent to stay in Krakow that wouldn’t break the bank, and honestly? Modern Apartment close to the center turned out to be one of those pleasant surprises you don’t expect when booking online. The name’s pretty straightforward – no fancy branding here – but sometimes that’s exactly what you want.

The location on Dobrego Pasterza is actually perfect if you know Krakow a bit. You’re in Pradnik Czerwony, which sounds intimidating if you don’t speak Polish, but it’s basically this residential area that feels authentically local without being too far from the action. I mean, you’re not stumbling out your front door into the main square, but that’s honestly a good thing – you get to walk through some real neighborhoods and see how people actually live here. The tram connections are solid (there’s a stop maybe five minutes away), and you can get to the Old Town in about fifteen minutes without dealing with all the tourist chaos right outside your window. Plus, parking isn’t the nightmare it is closer to the center – something to consider if you’re driving.

What I really liked about this place was how it actually feels like an apartment, not some sterile hotel room. The whole building has this modern vibe without being cold or trying too hard, you know? The rooms are spacious enough that you’re not bumping into your suitcase every time you turn around, and there’s proper storage space – little things that matter when you’re staying more than just a night or two. The kitchen setup is actually functional (I’ve stayed in too many places where they give you a hot plate and call it a day), so if you want to grab some groceries from the local shops and save a few zloty on meals, you can actually do that. The WiFi worked perfectly throughout my stay, which honestly surprised me because I’ve learned not to trust hotel internet promises.

The 8.6 rating makes sense when you experience the place – it’s not luxury by any stretch, but everything works the way it should, the place is clean, and you get the sense that someone actually cares about maintaining it properly. Check-in was straightforward, no weird complications or hidden fees that sometimes pop up with apartment-style places. The area gets pretty quiet at night, which was perfect for sleeping, but during the day you’ve got cafes and shops within walking distance that cater to locals, not just tourists looking for pierogi and overpriced beer. There’s this bakery about two blocks away that does incredible bread – the kind of discovery that makes staying in a residential area worth it. If you’re planning to visit Krakow and want somewhere comfortable that feels more like staying in the city rather than just visiting it, this place delivers on that promise without any pretense.

Best hotels in Krakow range from charming boutique properties in the historic Market Square to elegant converted palaces with stunning views of Wawel Castle and the Vistula River.

• Bardzo wygodny, czysty apartament. – Karolina from Poland – June 28, 2025 (8/10)

  Przyjemne miejsce, czysto, na miejscu między innymi ekspres do kawy, czajnik, żelazko, pralka i wszystkie najpotrzebniejsze rzeczy, duży plus za wiatrak bo przy wysokiej temperaturze momentami robiło się dość duszno. Dobra lokalizacja, blisko przystanki autobusowe i żabka w tym samym bloku.
  
  What could be improved: Jedyny minus jaki zaobserwowałam to jedna kołdra na łóżku dwuosobowym. Podróżowałam z przyjaciółką i niekoniecznie wygodnie było nam się dzielić kołdrą. Poza tym wszystko super.

• Exceptional – Edyta from Poland – August 21, 2023 (10/10)

  Dobra, spokojna okolica z wygodnym dojazdem do centrum. Przestrzenne i dobrze utrzymane mieszkanie.
  Bezproblemowe zdalne zakwaterowanie, dostaliśmy dokładne instrukcje w dniu zameldowania 🙂
  Byliśmy co prawda na jedną noc, ale miejsce nada się z pewnością i na dłuższy pobyt.

• Fair – Aušra from Lithuania – August 22, 2023 (5/10)

  Bekontaktis įsiregistravimas, vieta.
  
  What could be improved: Lova – miegant jaučiasi lenta po čiužiniu ties šonkauliais 🙁
  Per karšta, o langai beveik neatsidaro (vienas sulūžęs, krenta, kitas užstrigęs). triukšmingi kaimynai.
  Įėjimas į butą gan keistas, būtų buvę jaukiau, jei būčiau perspėta.
  Foto pranoksta realybę.

• Konstruktivna kritika, napady na zlepsenie – Ruman from Slovakia – June 21, 2023 (7/10)

  Čistotata, lokalita, v celku vybavenie.
  
  What could be improved: Bez parkovania, co ma zarazilo,lebo sme museli hladat kam umiestnime auto na celu noc. Ked mam na izbe kavovar, cakal by som,ze bude aj kava alebo teda kapsule pri nom, no nestalo sa. Okna sa nedali otvorit, ak ano tak by mi ostalo v ruke cele okno, druhe neslo ptvorit vobec. Ibak to bolo v celku dobre.
