Native Apartments Paulińska 20 Deluxe Overview

You know what struck me first about Native Apartments Paulińska 20? The building itself feels like it belongs in Old Town – and I mean that in the best way. Walking up to it, you’re literally steps from the main square (honestly, maybe a three-minute stroll), but you’re tucked away on this quieter street where you won’t hear drunk tourists singing at 2 AM. The entrance has that restored historic charm without feeling stuffy or overly precious about it.

The “Deluxe” part of the name actually means something here. These aren’t your typical cramped European apartments – the spaces feel generous, with high ceilings that make everything breathe a bit easier. What I really appreciated was how they’ve managed to blend modern conveniences (the kitchen actually works, imagine that) with period details that remind you you’re staying in a 600-year-old city. The floors have this worn elegance that’s probably seen more history than most museums. And honestly? The Wi-Fi is solid, which matters more than I’d like to admit when you’re trying to navigate Kraków’s winding streets or book dinner reservations.

Here’s the thing about the location – you’re right in the thick of things without being overwhelmed by it. Paulińska Street connects you to everything that matters: the Cloth Hall, St. Mary’s Basilica, all those little pierogi joints that locals actually frequent. But step outside in the morning, and it’s quiet enough that you can hear church bells instead of just traffic. I found myself walking to the Planty gardens for coffee most mornings – it’s maybe a two-minute walk and gives you this nice buffer between the apartment calm and the Old Town energy. The 8.4 rating makes sense because while everything works well and the location is genuinely fantastic, it’s not trying to be a luxury hotel (which keeps the prices reasonable, thankfully). Sometimes the hot water takes a minute to warm up, and the stairs can be a bit steep if you’re hauling heavy luggage – but honestly, that’s just old building reality in this part of Europe. What you get is this authentic feeling of actually living in Kraków for a few days rather than just passing through it.

Reviews of Native Apartments Paulińska 20 Deluxe

  • I had a perfect stay at this apartment! It was equipped with everything I needed, including an iron, hair dryer, and TV, – Hasnaa from United Arab Emirates – August 17, 2024 (10/10)

    It looks cozy, clean and comfortable.

    What could be improved: The bedding room without AC but there was one AC at living room so I keep the door open to allow the air comes to the room.

  • Exceptional – Kirkliauskaite from Lithuania – November 10, 2023 (10/10)

    Good location, clean and nice apartament😊 very nice people😊

  • Exceptional – Hanna from Ukraine – August 13, 2023 (10/10)

    Very nice and clean Apartment.

  • Fair – Todor from Bulgaria – January 5, 2024 (5/10)

    The apartment is nice, cosy and well-located.

    What could be improved: We were literally kicked out of the apartment by the cleaning guy in the morning. We were five minutes late with checking out (11:05) when someone started banging on the door. When we opened there was a guy who started urging us to leave by shouting loudly "out, out" and pointing at his watch. Although the apartment owner apoligised on his behalf the whole story left us with a bad aftertaste. Service personnel shouldn't behave like this. Also the matrass on the second floor is very soft and is directly in the floor so one can feel the floor when seated. The staircase from the second floor is dangerous and should be used with utmost care and attention as one can get seriously injured. No mops to soak the water in the shower.

  • Good – Abdullah from Saudi Arabia – July 19, 2025 (7/10)

    المكان والنظافه والامانه نسيت ساعتي واتصلوا يخبروني

    What could be improved: الغرفه الثانيه معلقه فوق الحمام ولاتوجد حمايه للاطفال
    كانت مصدر قلق

  • Wonderful – Simone from Italy – April 28, 2025 (9/10)

    Alloggio in posizione perfetta per visita della città. Ottima disponibilità dei proprietari per le colazioni a vari orari. Consigliatissimo!

  • Kľúč od predných dverí lebo sa pokazili dvere keď nešiel elektricky prúd – Ttms from Slovakia – January 4, 2025 (9/10)

    Vyzeralo to presne ako na fotkách. Parkovali sme priamo pri apartmáne 84 zlote za 2 dni

    What could be improved: Ako rodičia deti by sme uvítali koberec lebo od zeme ťahala zima

  • Fajnie, polecam – Katarzyna from Poland – July 10, 2024 (8/10)

    Lokalizacja fantastyczna, blisko do strategicznych miejsc, wszystko jest jeśli chodzi o wyposażenie – chociaż przydałaby się suszarka na ręczniki

    What could be improved: Łazienka słabo klimatyzowana, jest wilgoć i prysznic bez drzwi..

  • Super apartament. – Karolina from Poland – April 23, 2024 (9/10)

    Apartament w idealnej lokalizacji, ze wszelkimi udogodnieniami.Antresola dla corki zrobila prawdziwa furorę.Sniadania pod same drzwi pyszne.Kontakt z Panią Natalia przemiły.

  • Wonderful – Karolina from Poland – February 2, 2024 (9/10)

    Apartament przyjemny, czysty, świetna lokalizacja, smaczne śniadanka. Kontakt z obsługą bardzo dobry.

    What could be improved: Niestety nie jest to apartament z dwoma sypialniami, czego spodziewałam się po opisie, a z jedną w której są dwa łóżka z czego jedno na antresoli.
