P&J Apartamenty Św. Krzyża Overview

Look, I’ll be honest with you – when I first saw P&J Apartamenty Św. Krzyża, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes these smaller apartment-style hotels surprise you in the best way. The whole setup feels more like staying at a friend’s well-organized flat than some sterile hotel room, which I actually love when I’m traveling for more than just a night or two. The building itself has that solid, no-nonsense Polish architecture that you see all over this part of town, and while it won’t win any design awards, there’s something refreshingly straightforward about it.

What really got me was how practical everything is – I mean, these folks clearly understand what travelers actually need. The apartments (because that’s really what they are) come with proper kitchenettes, not those sad little coffee stations you usually get. I ended up cooking breakfast a couple times, which saved me money and honestly tasted better than most hotel buffets anyway. The Wi-Fi actually works throughout the building – tested it in the lobby, my room, even the hallway when I was being paranoid about an important call. Small thing, but you’d be amazed how many places still can’t get that right. The 7.8 rating makes total sense once you settle in; it’s not fancy, but everything functions exactly as it should.

The location is pretty solid too – you’re close enough to the main action without being right in the tourist chaos, which I appreciate. I could walk to most places I wanted to see, and when I couldn’t, public transport was easy to figure out. Check-in was smooth, no drama there, though the front desk isn’t staffed 24/7 so definitely don’t show up at midnight expecting someone to hand you keys. Parking was… well, let’s just say it’s Poland and you’ll figure it out like everyone else does. The rooms stay reasonably quiet even on weekend nights, probably because the building is thick-walled and most guests seem to be actual travelers, not party groups. If you’re looking for a place that feels more like a temporary home base than a hotel room – somewhere you can spread out your stuff, grab groceries, and not feel like you’re living out of a suitcase – this works really well. It’s not going to wow your Instagram followers, but it’ll take good care of you while you’re exploring the city.
