Perfect place to stay in Kraków City Center

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw “Perfect place to stay in Kraków City Center” listed with “several different locations,” I was a bit skeptical. It sounded like one of those generic apartment networks that could be hit or miss. But you know what? After staying at one of their Old Town spots twice now, I actually get why they named it that way.

The thing about these places is they’re scattered throughout the Old Town area, which honestly works in your favor. I mean, you’re not getting some massive hotel lobby experience, but what you are getting is a legitimate apartment right in the heart of things – and I’m talking like a three-minute walk to the Main Square kind of heart. The first time I stayed, my place was tucked down one of those narrow cobblestone streets near Grodzka, and I could hear the horse-drawn carriages clip-clopping by in the early morning (which is actually pretty charming, though it might bug light sleepers). The second visit put me closer to Floriańska Gate, where you get more foot traffic but also easier access to everything.

What really impressed me was how they’ve managed to keep that authentic Kraków apartment feel while making sure everything actually works properly. The places I’ve been in have these gorgeous high ceilings and original hardwood floors that creak just enough to feel historic but not annoying. The kitchens are properly stocked too – none of that “here’s one bent fork and a broken coffee maker” nonsense you sometimes get with vacation rentals. I actually cooked a few meals, which saved money and gave me an excuse to explore the local markets around Hala Targowa. The WiFi’s solid (I was working remotely part of the time), and the water pressure’s surprisingly good for Old Town buildings.

Check-in can be a little different depending on which location you get, but they’re pretty responsive over WhatsApp, and honestly, having actual apartment keys instead of dealing with hotel desk schedules felt liberating. You can stumble back from the kazimierz nightlife at whatever hour without worrying about anyone. The 8.3 rating makes sense to me – it’s not luxury, but for a 3-star setup, it delivers exactly what it promises. My only minor gripe would be that some locations don’t have elevators (typical for Old Town buildings), so if you’re hauling heavy luggage up three flights of narrow stairs, well… consider packing lighter. But when you’re this close to St. Mary’s Basilica, Wawel Castle, and all those incredible pierogi spots along Szeroka Street, a few stairs seem pretty trivial. Plus, the value is actually reasonable for prime Old Town real estate – during peak summer season, comparable hotels in the area cost significantly more for way less character.

Hotels near me in Krakow offer convenient access to the medieval center, where guests can easily walk to St. Mary’s Basilica, Cloth Hall, and traditional Polish restaurants.

Reviews

• It was a nice and spacious apartment, ideal for a short break. – Joanna from New Zealand – August 4, 2025 (9/10)

  This apartment was fantastic! It was clean, spacious, and nicely decorated. The beds were large and comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed for our short stay.
  The location was excellent, just a few minutes' walk from the main square and all the restaurants. We were also happy to find free overnight parking right next to the property, which was a huge bonus.
  
  What could be improved: Access to the apartment was difficult, especially with large suitcases, due to the number of gates and doors.

• Excelent apartment with view – Augustin from Romania – July 18, 2025 (8/10)

  Excelent apartment, with great balcony and view over the church, nice and spacious to enjoy old city downtown.

• Nice place to stay. – Elzbieta from United Kingdom – June 17, 2025 (8/10)

  A very nice place to stay, close to the city centre.
  Quiet street, comfortable beds and the kitchen has all the necessary appliances available.
  
  What could be improved: The sofa in the living room smelled, I think it needs refreshing.
  The cabinet in the bedroom was dirty inside, with some kind of liquid spilled in it.
  The soap was diluted with water.

• Stay was okay – Charlotte from Poland – June 15, 2025 (9/10)

  Quiet and clean
  
  What could be improved: Maybe as a plus ,adding a bottle of water on arrival for the guest will help.

• Perfect base for a few days in Krakow – Melody from United Kingdom – June 15, 2025 (9/10)

  The Wróblewskiego Street flat is a perfect base for a few days in Krakow, not too far from the station, within easy walking distance of the historic centre. Easy to follow instructions for checking in. Nicely decorated and well equipped. Would happily stay here again.
  
  What could be improved: Shower was a little tepid early in the morning (but improved later). In a complex with other hoiday flats, so dependent on neighbours being considerate re noise etc.
