Old Town K34 by M Apartments

Old Town K34 by M Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Old Town K34 by M Apartments, you immediately get that “I made the right choice” feeling. The building sits right on Karmelicka Street, and honestly, you can’t get much more central than this in Krakow’s Old Town. What struck me first was how the property manages to feel both historic and modern — you’re clearly in a beautifully preserved building, but everything feels fresh and well-maintained. The entrance has this understated elegance that doesn’t scream “tourist trap,” which I really appreciated.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about the location — it’s not just that you’re in Old Town, it’s that you’re positioned perfectly within it. The Main Market Square is literally a few minutes’ walk away, but you’re far enough from the main tourist chaos that you can actually sleep at night. I mean, Karmelicka Street has this perfect balance where you feel connected to everything but not overwhelmed by it. You can walk to Wawel Castle, the Jewish Quarter in Kazimierz, or grab dinner at any of the incredible restaurants nearby without needing transport. Plus, having free private parking on-site is honestly a game-changer if you’re driving — try finding that anywhere else in this part of the city.

The Apartment Experience

What sets this four-star property apart is that you’re getting apartment-style accommodation rather than just a hotel room. The spaces feel genuinely livable, not like someone just crammed a kitchenette into a standard room as an afterthought. I loved having the flexibility to grab groceries from the nearby market halls and prepare simple meals, especially breakfast before heading out for the day. The apartments are well-designed with modern amenities, and you can tell they’ve thought about what travelers actually need — proper storage, good lighting, reliable wifi, that sort of thing.

Neighborhood Character

Staying on Karmelicka puts you right in the heart of authentic Krakow life. You’ll notice locals heading to work in the morning, students from the nearby university grabbing coffee, and families doing their daily shopping. There’s something really special about being part of the neighborhood rhythm rather than stuck in a tourist bubble. The street itself has this lovely mix of traditional Polish architecture and contemporary touches — you know you’re somewhere with real history, but it doesn’t feel like a museum. Within a block or two, you’ll find everything from traditional milk bars to trendy cafes and wine bars.

Why Guests Love It

The 9.4 rating really makes sense once you’ve stayed here. It’s that rare combination of prime location, thoughtful amenities, and genuine value that’s hard to find in such a sought-after area. Couples especially seem to love it here — and I can see why, given how romantic Old Town Krakow can be when you’re staying somewhere that feels like a real home base rather than just a place to sleep. You get the independence and space of an apartment with the service standards of a quality hotel, all while being perfectly positioned to explore one of Europe’s most beautiful historic cities.

Best hotels in Krakow range from charming boutique properties in the historic Market Square to elegant converted palaces with stunning views of Wawel Castle and the Vistula River.

Reviews of Old Town K34 by M Apartments

• Amazing host experience, wonderful property. – Potts from United States – August 7, 2025 (10/10)

  Location was super convenient to public transport and walking distance to many popular neighborhoods and sites.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing, everything was amazing.

• Lovely apartment, great location and great host! – Dee from United Kingdom – June 11, 2025 (10/10)

  This is a beautiful space. Modern, clean and in a great location. Super easy to walk into town and it felt very safe around the apartment even late at night. Lots of supermarkets near by so easy to stock up on essentials. The host is great! Accommodating and quick to reply.
  
  What could be improved: The curtains are very thin so do let in a lot of light in the morning so maybe good to bring sleep masks – even if you are in the glass room

• Exceptional – Denise from Ireland – June 6, 2025 (10/10)

  What could be improved: Nothing apartment was excellent 👌

• Fabulous family stay in Krakow. – Hannah from United Kingdom – May 29, 2025 (8/10)

  The beds were super comfortable and the host was quick to respond.
  The property was very clean and modern, and the balcony was an added bonus! Such a lovely stay and perfect location.
  
  What could be improved: The only slight thing that I feel would be a good addition would be black out curtains as it is very light on mornings.

• Great Location and comfortable stay, just a few suggestions to make it perfect. – Jessica from United Kingdom – May 12, 2025 (8/10)

  Perfect location, close to Old Town square and near lots of attractions and popular restaurants, and close to an express supermarket. Very clean apartment and very comfortable. Somewhere safe and secure to leave luggage if arriving before check in time or leaving after check out. A great apartment for a group of 3 friends for a weekend city break. Jacek the host was very quick at responding to any questions, and messaged prior to arrival with all the key codes we needed, a suggestion for if we needed to use public transport, and the WiFi password. The infrared sauna was also a bonus for the end of two very long days. I would definitely recommend this apartment.
  
  What could be improved: The only thing we were missing was a tea towel for drying up any dishes we used, and a suggestion to maybe have a welcome book with suggestions of places to go/eat, WiFi password and information on how to use the safe, and any other info we may need to know. we also found it odd there were no instructions or even safety instructions on how to use the infrared sauna especially considering there are no fire alarms in the apartment.

• Great stay – Dobbs from United Kingdom – May 3, 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment was lovely and clean and had everything you needed. The balcony was lovely especially as we had good weather so made use of it in the evening before we went out. It was near the old town so was easily walkable. We had a great stay.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing bad

• Excellent accommodation, lovely area and beautiful city. – Debbie from United Kingdom – April 22, 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment was in a great location, not too far from main square. The apartment itself was beautiful and clean. Enjoyed the seated balcony as the weather was glorious. Would definitely book again.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing we didn't like

• Extraordinary! – Jose from Portugal – April 10, 2025 (10/10)

  Amazing! Just like the pictures. Beautiful and as new. Very clean. Near center. Excelent host. Jacek is very nice and professional. One of the best places I have stayed in a long time again. Thank you!

• We had a lovely stay here during our first visit to Krakow. A short stroll to the Old Town but enough on our door step – Beverley from United Kingdom – April 3, 2025 (10/10)

  Everything- location, clean, spacious. Everything we needed. Didn’t sit on the terrace as it was cooler in the evenings and we were out during the day. Would love to visit again and spend more time in Old Town.
  Jacek was very contactable and very helpful!

• Exceptional – Diane from United Kingdom – March 29, 2025 (10/10)

  Apartment exactly like photos on booking.com. Jacek a great host, was there in 5minutes when we had a problem with the safe(our fault with the code)
