Na Skałce Apartment

Na Skałce Apartment Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Na Skałce Apartment on Skawińska Street, you immediately get that feeling you’ve struck gold — this three-star gem sits right in the heart of Kraków’s Old Town, and I mean really in the heart of it. The building itself has that classic Polish charm you’d expect, but honestly, it’s the location that’ll make you do a little happy dance. You’re literally steps away from everything that makes Kraków magical, which explains why couples are absolutely obsessed with this place (they’ve rated the location 9.9, and trust me, that’s not an accident).

The Perfect Old Town Spot

Here’s what I love about staying here — you can roll out of bed and be at the Main Market Square in about three minutes on foot. The Cloth Hall, St. Mary’s Basilica, all those incredible cafés tucked into medieval cellars — they’re all right there. But you know what’s even better? You’re on a quieter side street, so you get all the charm without the constant buzz of tourists walking past your window at all hours. I’ve stayed in places right on the square before, and while it sounds romantic, the noise can be a bit much.

The Apartment Experience

The apartment itself feels like staying at a friend’s place — if your friend happens to have excellent taste and lives in one of Europe’s most beautiful cities. It’s got that cozy, lived-in vibe that makes you want to brew some coffee and plan your day from the comfort of the sofa. The room setup works really well for couples (which explains those glowing reviews), and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. The kitchen comes in handy too — sometimes you just want to grab some fresh bread and local cheese from the market and have a simple breakfast before heading out.

What Makes It Special

I think what sets this place apart is how it manages to feel authentically Kraków while still being comfortable for travelers. You’re not staying in some sterile hotel room — you’re actually living in the Old Town for a few days. The building has character (those old Polish buildings always do), and the apartment strikes that perfect balance between historic charm and modern comfort. Plus, having your own space means you can come and go as you please, which is pretty nice when you want to duck back for a quick rest between exploring Wawel Castle and wandering through Kazimierz.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.8 rating isn’t just numbers on a screen — it reflects what happens when location, comfort, and value all come together perfectly. Couples especially seem to get it (hence that 9.9 location score), probably because there’s something undeniably romantic about having your own little corner of Kraków’s Old Town. You can walk to dinner, stroll back through those gorgeous cobblestone streets, and feel like you’re living in a fairy tale for a few days. It’s the kind of place that makes you start planning your next trip back before you’ve even checked out.

Reviews of Na Skałce Apartment

• Alena from Poland (10/10)

  Very clean, comfortable apartment in cool location, highly recommend, easy self check in

• Berlineuropa from Germany (10/10)

  Very nice area of Krakow – far enough away from the tourist crowds of the old town, close to the water and with many great restaurants and bars in the immediate vicinity. Be sure to cross the bridge to the other side of the water, less tourists, more real life. Communication went smoothly, very good directions. The apartment is very thoughtfully planned and offers a cozy stay with comfort in a comparatively small space. Pleasant temperature even in the winter months. We would book here again at any time.

• Cleone from United Kingdom (10/10)

  The host knows how to host and deliver a great service……
  
  This is an exceptionally appointed flat in a fantastic location with bars, restaurants, cafes and transport within a couple of minutes. It was spotlessly clean and a beautifully designed apartment.
  
  The host allowed us a late checkout too which was very helpful.

• Glenville from United Kingdom (10/10)

  The apartment is exactly as described, good quality modern furnishings and equipment. It was very clean and well-equipped. Communication from the very helpful host was good and it was easy to gain entry to the property. Netflix was a great bonus and the TV was large and had back-lighting. It's a quiet location, there was no noise pollution at all while I was there. The lift was also a bonus. Plac Wolnica tram stop is just at the end of the road. There was a Bialetti coffee maker and supplies of ground coffee which were very much appreciated. The bed was very comfortable. The shower and bidet spray were excellent, and the underfloor heating in the bathroom was a luxury. I was alone on this trip but when I return with my wife I will certainly be checking if this apartment is available. Location on the tram network is great, so I could easily get to the market square and train station.

• Alex from Germany (10/10)

  Very spacious and modern furnishing. All amenities were available (washing machine, ironing board, fridge etc )

• Adriane from Ireland (10/10)

  Well equipped apartment, easy check in and check out, great communication from host and walking distance to many attractions.

• Cathy from United Kingdom (9/10)

  It exceeded my expectations because everything seemed brand new, and there were lots of small things that were remembered; like the steps to reach the high cupboard.
  I was very glad of the washing machine, which I don't normally expect in a small apartment.

• -joanna from Germany (10/10)

  I had a perfect stay! The apartment is very comfortable (for one person, I guess it would be the same for a couple) and beautifully arranged. There was everything I needed: kitchen, iron, hair dryer, good wifi, comfy bed, large bathroom. Location is also perfect, on a side street but very close to restaurants, shops, and the river.

• Sofiia from Ukraine (10/10)

  That was this rare case when apartment is actually better in live than on pictures. Comfortable, clean, perfectly located, has everything that a person may need and even more!

• Mariia from Ukraine (9/10)

  The apartment is small, but very well-organized and convenient.
  
  +there's pretty much any kitchen equipment you'd need and a little bit extra (like stove-top coffee maker and ground coffee 🙃)
  +big comfy bed
  +great location
