Native Apartments Starowiślna 43 Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Native Apartments Starowiślna 43 feels like you’ve stumbled onto something locals have been keeping to themselves. The building sits right on one of Kraków’s most charming cobblestone streets, and honestly, the location alone makes this three-star property punch way above its weight. You’re literally steps from the Main Square — I mean, you can practically hear the trumpet call from St. Mary’s Basilica from your window. The entrance has that understated Polish elegance that doesn’t try too hard, which I actually appreciate more than flashy hotel lobbies.
The Heart of Old Town
What really gets me about this place is how perfectly positioned it is in Old Town. Starowiślna street itself is this lovely mix of historic architecture and modern life — you’ll see locals heading to work in the morning while tourists are just starting their coffee runs. The Cloth Hall is maybe a three-minute walk, and you’re surrounded by some of the best pierogi spots in the city (trust me on this one). Couples seem to absolutely love wandering these streets together, which makes total sense given how romantic the whole area feels, especially in the evenings when the street lamps come on.
The Apartment Experience
Each apartment here feels more like staying in a friend’s well-appointed place than a typical hotel room. The spaces are thoughtfully designed with modern touches that don’t clash with the historic building’s character. You’ll find a proper kitchen that’s actually functional — not just for show — which is perfect if you want to grab fresh bread from the morning market and make your own breakfast. The furnishings strike that sweet spot between comfortable and stylish, and the windows let in just the right amount of that soft Polish light that makes everything look a bit more magical.
Practical Perks
One thing that surprised me was how well they handle the breakfast situation. Instead of a traditional hotel dining room, they offer breakfast to go, which honestly works better when you’re staying in such a prime location. You can grab your morning meal and head straight out to explore, or take it back to your apartment and eat while planning your day. The staff really knows the neighborhood too — they’ll point you toward the best coffee shops and help you avoid the tourist traps that line some of the busier streets.
Why Guests Love It
There’s something special about falling asleep to the gentle sounds of Old Town and waking up in the middle of centuries of history. The combination of modern comfort and authentic location creates this perfect balance that’s hard to find elsewhere in Kraków. You’re not just staying near the attractions — you’re living among them, but in a way that feels genuine rather than touristy. For the price point, you’re getting an experience that feels much more premium, especially when you factor in that unbeatable location score. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve discovered a little secret in one of Europe’s most beautiful cities.
Travelers should reserve a hotel in Krakow at least two months ahead for major events like cultural festivals, ensuring the best rates and prime locations near Market Square.

Viktoriia from Ukraine (9/10)
Єдиний мінус – дуже гучно від трамваїв. Заважає спати. В цілому все відповідає опису і фото. Чисто, є все необхідне, навіть пральна і посудомийна машина. Достатньо місця, світла кімната. Чай, цукор, чайник, мило, рушники, навіть засіб для посудомийної машини. Затишно. Недалеко від центру.
