Old Town WAWEL Premium Apartment – 60m2 Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Old Town WAWEL Premium Apartment – 60m2 honestly feels like you’ve stumbled upon one of Kraków’s best-kept secrets. This three-star gem sits right on plac Na Groblach, and I mean literally in the heart of everything that matters in the Old Town. The moment you step inside, you realize this isn’t your typical cramped European city apartment — the 60 square meters actually feel spacious, with high ceilings and windows that let in plenty of natural light.

The Perfect Location

You know what’s incredible about this place? You’re basically living like a local in the most touristy part of town, but somehow it doesn’t feel overwhelming. The location score of 9.8 isn’t just marketing fluff — I could walk to Wawel Castle in about eight minutes, and the Main Market Square is practically around the corner. What I really appreciated was how quiet it stays at night despite being so central. The building itself has this old-world charm that makes you feel connected to Kraków’s history, but with all the modern comforts you actually need.

Living Space That Works

The room layout is surprisingly well thought out for a historic building. There’s a proper kitchen area where you can actually cook if you want to save some money or just enjoy breakfast with fresh bread from the nearby bakeries. The sleeping area feels separate enough that it doesn’t feel like you’re camping out in a studio, and honestly, the furnishings strike that perfect balance between comfortable and stylish. I particularly loved the little details — good lighting for reading, enough outlets for all your devices, and storage space that doesn’t require Tetris skills to use.

Exploring the Neighborhood

What makes this spot special is how it puts you right in the rhythm of daily Kraków life. In the morning, you’ll hear the clip-clop of horse-drawn carriages heading to the square, but by evening, it’s mostly locals walking home from work or heading out for dinner. The nearby streets are lined with those atmospheric cafés and bars that tourists often miss because they’re not on the main drags. I found myself grabbing coffee at the same little place each morning, chatting with the owner who spoke just enough English to recommend the best pierogi spots in the area.

Why Guests Love It

Couples absolutely rave about this place, and after staying here, I totally get why they rate the location a perfect 10. There’s something romantic about having your own little corner of this medieval city, especially when you can walk hand-in-hand to Wawel Hill for sunset views or explore the Jewish Quarter without needing any transportation. The 8.9 rating reflects what I experienced — it’s not trying to be fancy, but everything works exactly as it should. For the price point, you’re getting an authentic Kraków experience that feels more like borrowing a friend’s perfectly located flat than staying in typical tourist accommodation.
