Native Apartments Lubelska 10

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Native Apartments Lubelska 10? The building itself – it’s got this understated elegance that feels authentically Kraków without trying too hard. I mean, you’re right in Krowodrza, which honestly is one of those neighborhoods that locals love but tourists haven’t completely overrun yet. The address might say Lubelska 3, but don’t let that confuse you (I actually walked past it twice the first time). It’s tucked away just enough that you feel like you’ve discovered something special, but you’re still only a fifteen-minute walk to the main square.

The apartments themselves are what really won me over, though. They’ve nailed that sweet spot between modern comfort and Polish character – think exposed brick walls that actually add warmth rather than just looking Instagram-ready, and kitchens that are properly equipped, not just there for show. The 4-star rating feels spot-on; it’s polished without being stuffy. What I really appreciated were the little touches that show someone actually thought about how people live, not just how they pose for photos. The Wi-Fi is solid (I was working remotely for part of my stay), the shower pressure is surprisingly good, and there’s actual counter space in the bathroom. These might sound like small things, but after staying in cramped European accommodations, trust me, they matter.

The 8.8 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve been there. It’s not trying to be the flashiest place in Kraków, but it delivers on the stuff that actually affects your daily experience. The check-in was smooth – they sent clear instructions beforehand, which saved me from that awkward “where do I even go” moment you get with some apartment rentals. Location-wise, you’re close enough to hear a bit of city life (I found it energizing rather than annoying), but the windows are decent quality so it’s not like you’re sleeping next to a construction site. There’s a Żabka convenience store practically around the corner, and you can walk to some genuinely good local restaurants without dealing with the tourist trap pricing near the main attractions. Actually, that might be what I liked most about staying here – it felt like I was experiencing a slice of real Kraków life rather than just checking boxes on a sightseeing list.

Hotels near me in Krakow offer convenient access to the medieval center, where guests can easily walk to St. Mary’s Basilica, Cloth Hall, and traditional Polish restaurants.

Reviews

• Wonderful – Martynas from Lithuania – June 16, 2024 (9/10)

  Apartment very clean, freshly renovated, comfortably located.

• It was a comfortable stay. – Saniye from Turkey – October 13, 2023 (10/10)

  Clean and modern
  
  What could be improved: When we came in there was an unpleasant food smell but after some airing, it was reduced.

• Good apartment in a beautiful city – Csaba from Hungary – September 3, 2023 (9/10)

  This accomodation is a small apartment in a modern building on the first floor. The flat has a living room together with the kitchen, where 2 people can sleep on a sofa bed. There is also a separated bedroom for 2 people to sleep. The flat has a small balcony facing the garden so the flat is quiet. There is A/C in the living room, which was great, when we were there in a summer heat wave. The flat includes a bathroom as well with shower and WC in it.
  The key for the flat is at the door in a key-box, for which you got the PIN code on the arrival day via booking.com.
  The host can be accessed easily via booking.com chat and is very responsive. (Thanks for that!)
  The breakfast was included in the price, and it was delivered by courier every morning. In the previous day you have to choose a breakfast from the available options (classic, challah, vegetarian, vegan) and you must specify the deliverey time.
  There is no free parking lot for the flat, so you have to park on the street. For parking on the street you must pay from 10:00 until 20:00 4 PLN/hr. You can pay at the parking meter in front of the house entrance. You can buy parking ticket for a whole day (10 hrs – 40 PLN), if you wish and the parking meters accept credit card, so you do not need cash!
  The apartment is approx. 2 km on foot to the main square (Rynek Główny) and you can find supermarkets (e.g. Carrefour express) nearby.
  
  What could be improved: The breakfast arrived 2 times late, so first time we almost missed it, because we had to leave our apartment at 7:30 and we ordered the breakfast for 7:00, but arrived at 7:30 and luckily we met the courier at the street in front of the house. So we had to eat in the car. Therefore it is recommended to order the breakfast as soon as possible to not miss it if you have to go on time.
  In the shower cabin there is no place for a soap, and the overhead fixed shower is always pouring the water onto you but you can get used to it.

• Recommended!!! – Linda from Czech Republic – August 22, 2023 (8/10)

  Very comfy with excellent distance to centre
  
  What could be improved: We didn ´t have a third bed made up, but it´s no problem with this weather
  Every morning is a little bit rush from outside

• Very Good – Kristel from Estonia – August 1, 2023 (8/10)

  The apartment is nice, and clean. All necessary is available in the apartment. Walking distance from the city center. You can park your car by the street, for a fee, Mon-Sat from 10 am to 8 pm.

• It was ok, but for the value payed I would choose a different location – Diana from Ukraine – May 14, 2025 (5/10)

  Good location, nice balcony
  
  What could be improved: There was a strong unpleasant smell from the bathroom that kept coming and disappearing, light was flickering all the time, only one set of towels for 20 days, coffee machine on the photo was not there

• I don’t think it was worth the money but it was a high season time because of Christmas and new year. – Pavlo from Ukraine – January 6, 2025 (6/10)

  Location and visual side of the property if I can say so. Really warm apartment even with the heating off.
  
  What could be improved: If you dive deep, there starts the most interesting details. Some furniture is slowly dying. The kitchen is not suitable for long stay and proper cooking because it doesn’t have an oven and the whole pan/dishes/glasses set is fairly poor. The compartment for the washing tablets in dishwasher was broken.
  We were also provided by broken vacuum cleaner and cleaning mop. In case we had a long stay for the whole Christmas holidays and more I asked the support to replace these items to clean the apartment. It took us a few days to negotiate about that because they refused to help me in the beginning and offered a free cleaning. For me it wasn’t a solution because of having kid and need of self cleaning was much needed. In the end they replaced the broken cleaner with another cheesy missing wheel one, but not the mop. So the communication was pretty bad I would say.
  BTW, the apartment is quite small, take it in consideration. Photos are made with wide angle cameras.

• Lovely vacation – Anonymous from Estonia – July 17, 2023 (9/10)

  Excellent. Nice apartement with a great location.
  
  What could be improved: Parking was challenging but we were lucky every time. In apartment I missed kitchen towel everything else was great.

  What could be improved: Nulla.
