Old Town Apartments – Bosacka Str 7

Hotel Description

You know what’s funny about Old Town? Everyone thinks they need to stay right in the thick of Market Square to get the “authentic” experience, but honestly, Bosacka Street is where you actually want to be. I stumbled across these apartments almost by accident — well, my original booking fell through and I was scrambling — and it turned out to be one of those happy travel mistakes that makes you feel like you discovered something special.

The thing about this place is that it sits in this perfect sweet spot where you’re absolutely in the heart of everything, but you’re not dealing with the tourist chaos that hits the main drags. I mean, you can walk to the cloth hall in maybe three minutes, but when you come home at night, it’s actually quiet enough to sleep with the windows open (which you’ll want to do because these old buildings get warm, and there’s something nice about hearing the cobblestones echo with late-night footsteps). The apartments themselves feel like someone’s stylish Polish grandmother decided to go modern — lots of character in the bones of the building, but everything works the way it should. Good water pressure, reliable WiFi, kitchens that are actually functional if you want to grab groceries from the little market around the corner.

What really sold me was how the staff handled things. Check-in was smooth — none of that “wait around in a lobby for twenty minutes” nonsense — and when I mentioned I was there for work, they actually gave me tips about the quietest cafes nearby for morning meetings. That’s the kind of local knowledge you don’t get from chain hotels. The rating here is sitting at 9.7, which honestly seemed high until I stayed there and realized… yeah, that’s about right. It’s not trying to be fancy in that Instagram-perfect way, but everything just works well. The beds are comfortable (firm, if that matters to you), the neighborhood feels safe walking around at any hour, and you’re close enough to everything that matters without paying those premium location prices. Plus — and this is huge if you’re traveling in summer — Bosacka is tree-lined, so it stays a bit cooler during those brutal July afternoons when the main square feels like a pizza oven. If you’re the type who likes to feel like you’re staying somewhere with some soul instead of a perfectly efficient but forgettable box, this is your spot.
