Penthouse in the Center Free parking – by Hosty Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Penthouse in the Center Free parking – by Hosty on Starowiślna Street, you immediately realize you’ve hit the jackpot location-wise. I mean, you’re literally steps away from everything that makes Krakow magical — the Main Market Square is practically around the corner, and honestly, the Old Town cobblestones are right there beneath your feet. This four-star property sits in one of those classic Krakow buildings that makes you feel like you’re part of the city’s story, not just passing through it.

The Location Advantage

Here’s what I love about this spot — you can walk to Cloth Hall in about three minutes, maybe five if you’re stopping to admire the architecture (which you will). The location score of 9.6 isn’t just marketing fluff; it’s actually earned. You know how some places claim to be “central” but you end up taking trams everywhere? Not here. St. Mary’s Basilica, Wawel Castle, the Jewish Quarter — they’re all within easy walking distance. Plus, and this is huge for Krakow, you get free parking, which anyone who’s tried to park in the Old Town will tell you is like finding gold.

The Penthouse Experience

The space itself feels more like a sophisticated apartment than a typical hotel room. There’s something about being up high in the center of Krakow that gives you this perfect vantage point over the city — you can actually see the rhythm of Old Town life from your windows. The setup works particularly well for couples (which explains why pairs rate it so highly), with enough space to spread out but intimate enough to feel cozy. The modern amenities blend nicely with that classic Krakow charm you’re hoping for, without feeling like they’re trying too hard to be trendy.

Practical Perks

Let’s talk about what actually matters when you’re exploring Krakow. That free parking I mentioned? It’s not just convenient — it’s a game-changer if you’re doing day trips to places like Wieliczka Salt Mine or Zakopane. The Hosty management style means you get professional service without the stuffiness of a big chain hotel. You’re close enough to the tourist spots that you can pop back easily (trust me, you’ll want to after walking around all day), but the building itself sits on a street that doesn’t get the worst of the tourist crowds.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.6 rating reflects what you actually experience here — it’s that sweet spot where location, comfort, and value align perfectly. Couples especially seem to get it; there’s something romantic about having your own penthouse perch overlooking one of Europe’s most beautiful medieval cities. You’re not just staying in Krakow, you’re living in it for a few days. Whether you’re planning romantic dinners in the nearby restaurants or just want to grab pierogi from a local spot and enjoy them with a view, this place gives you the flexibility to experience the city however you want.

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

  Great two-level apartment in the center! With free parking. On booking the apartment clearly looks much worse than it actually is. This is an apartment with two bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen with brand new furniture. Each room has an air conditioner, which makes your stay very comfortable in the heat. We had a late flight and the owners allowed us to extend our stay absolutely free of charge. For which we are very grateful! Thank you Jakub and Alina! You are unlikely to find an apartment of this level for such a price!

• Wonderful – Michał from Poland – March 1, 2025 (9/10)

  Blisko centrum
  Wyposażenie
  Możliwość przedłużenia wymeldowania
  
  What could be improved: Niedokładnie wysprzątane
  Podłogi za meblami brudne, pełno kurzu
  Brudne Talerze po poprzednich gościach w szafkach

• Ευχάριστη και άνετη ! – Evangelos from Greece – February 5, 2025 (9/10)

  Ηταν ευρύχωρο για 3 ζευγάρια. Ηταν ζεστό για την εποχή που πήγαμε (Φεβρουάριος 2025). Είχε εύκολη πρόσβαση και θέα σε κεντρικό σχετικά σημείο. Πολύ κοντά στην εβραϊκή γειτονιά και αρκετά κοντά στην παλιά πόλη , εύκολα προσβάσιμα με τα πόδια (10-15 λεπτά)
  
  What could be improved: Θα θέλαμε να έχει και πετσέτες προσώπου και όχι μόνο σώματος. Επίσης θα θέλαμε και ένα απορρυπαντικό πιάτων για να πλύνουμε τα πιάτα μας.

• Exceptional – Oleksandr from Ukraine – January 15, 2025 (10/10)

• Simply amazing – Valentyn from Ukraine – November 24, 2024 (10/10)

  I've been traveling with my family (5 people total, all adults), and we were looking for a nice place to stay at that is close to the city center. The location was great, and we decided to pick this place. Judging by the photos, we all thought that this would be just another "average" apartment. But once we arrived, we all were pleasurably stunned.
  
  The apartments are located on the top floor of the building. They are very spacious with two separate bedrooms and one living room. It has everything you need. Washing machine, coffee machine, big table for 6 people, plenty of plates and glasses, dishwasher (including the tablets for it), all the towels, big modern TV, etc. It is warm, cozy, spacious and overall we were delighted to stay there. The host was very helpful and polite as well. He answered all my questions and gave detailed instructions along the way. Even though we never met face to face, it was very easy communicating with him via WhatsApp and booking chat.
  
  To sum it all up, within a few days we all got so used to it that we started calling it home. And indeed, it really felt like it.
  A big shoutout to the host and beautiful apartments. If we will ever visit Kraków again, I'll make sure to book this place 100%.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was fantastic except maybe two very minor things.
  1. There is small damage on the wall in the bathroom that slightly prevents you from opening the door to access the washing machine easily.
  2. The coffee machine had a water tank leak.
  
  Once again, those are very minor issues.
