Oak Tree Old Town Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Oak Tree Old Town Apartments on Straszewskiego Street, you immediately get that feeling you’re somewhere special. This is proper Old Town Kraków — cobblestones, medieval architecture, the works. The building itself has that classic Polish charm without being overly touristy, and the location is exceptional in the best way possible. You’re literally steps from everything that matters in the historic center. The neighborhood captures authentic medieval character while remaining accessible to modern travelers seeking genuine cultural immersion.

The Apartment Experience

This three-star property gets the apartment concept right — you’re not just getting a hotel room, you’re getting actual living space. Each unit comes with a proper kitchen, which is a significant advantage when you want to grab fresh bread from the local bakery or store traditional Polish pierogi for later. The setup feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a typical hotel, and the furnishings strike that sweet spot between functional and comfortable. Guests appreciate the residential atmosphere and thoughtful design throughout each carefully appointed space.

Location Magic

The location offers remarkable advantages — you can walk to the Main Market Square in about three minutes, but you’re just far enough off the main tourist drag that it doesn’t feel overwhelming outside your window at night. Couples absolutely rave about this spot, and the reasons are clear. You’ve got intimate wine bars around the corner, the Cloth Hall is right there, and Wawel Castle is an easy stroll away. There’s decent parking nearby if you’re driving, though you won’t need a car once you’re settled in the Old Town’s pedestrian-friendly streets.

Morning Routine

The continental breakfast setup works well — quality Polish bread, local cheeses, and proper coffee start your day right. What makes this property special is having that kitchen option, so you can mix up your morning routine. Sometimes you want the full breakfast spread, other times you just want to grab a quick coffee and pastry from one of the amazing cafés literally outside your door. The flexibility of apartment-style living works exceptionally well in a historic city like this. Guests consistently mention how this adaptability enhances their stay and provides authentic local experiences.

Why Guests Love It

An 8.7 rating reflects genuine guest satisfaction, and the strong location score tells you everything you need to know about this property’s appeal. You’re getting authentic Kraków living without sacrificing comfort or support. The staff knows the neighborhood inside and out — they’ll point you toward the best milk bars, those traditional Polish eateries, and away from tourist traps. It’s that perfect balance where you feel like a local but still have all the assistance you need as a visitor. For the price point and location, this apartment property offers exceptional value in the heart of historic Kraków.

Reviews of Oak Tree Old Town Apartments

  • Anna from United States (9/10)

    The location and size of the room were perfect. Very clean and quiet, almost in the historical center close to the main attractions and restaurants. Highly recommended. Will definitely stay there again!

  • Olurotimi from United Kingdom (9/10)

    The apartment was well kitted of with cost, microwave etc and it was very comfortable.

  • Luciana from Romania (9/10)

    Very well located, very clean, decently sized room with a very clean bathroom. In the room there is also a kitchinette with everything one needs to prepare basic things. The restaurant where the breakfast can be served has a nice atmosphere but the options are limited.

  • Sintija from Latvia (9/10)

    The apartment is located next to the old town, which allows you to save on transport. Our reservation included breakfast, which is provided by a restaurant a couple of houses down the same street. Very accommodating attitude so that we didn't have to cancel breakfast in the morning when we went to Zakopane. We received breakfast in the evening of the previous day in prepared hermetically sealed boxes. Convenient and applicable!
