Premium City Center Apartment Ariańska

Hotel Description

Honestly, when I first walked up to Ariańska 6A, I wasn’t expecting much – the street’s pretty quiet and residential, tucked away from the main tourist drag. But you know what? That ended up being exactly what made this place special. The Premium City Center Apartment sits in this sweet spot where you’re actually living like a local for a few days, not just passing through like another tourist with a rolling suitcase.

The apartment itself feels like someone’s stylish friend let you crash at their place while they’re out of town. I mean, it’s got that lived-in comfort but everything’s been thoughtfully updated – the kitchen actually has sharp knives (miracle!), the shower has proper water pressure, and the bed… well, I slept better than I had in weeks. What really got me was the morning light streaming through those big windows – you can tell someone put real thought into making this feel like home. The 9.2 rating makes complete sense once you’re there, though honestly, I was skeptical of ratings that high before staying here.

Location-wise, you’re in Podgórze, which is sort of the cool younger sibling of Kazimierz across the river. Most tourists stick to the Old Town or Jewish Quarter, but this area’s where Krakow feels most authentic – there’s this fantastic pierogi spot about three blocks down that I stumbled onto, and the walk to Wawel Castle along the Vistula is actually prettier than the crowded route everyone else takes. You’re maybe fifteen minutes to the main square on foot, but it’s one of those walks where you discover random galleries and cafes tucked into converted townhouses. The tram stop’s right there too if your feet give out after a day of sightseeing. Parking was surprisingly easy – there’s street parking that doesn’t cost a fortune, unlike in the historic center where you’ll pay through the nose and still end up walking ten blocks. Check-in was smooth, though I’d recommend coordinating arrival times since it’s not a traditional hotel desk situation. One tiny thing – the building’s entrance is a bit understated, so keep your eyes peeled for the address numbers or you might walk right past like I almost did. But really, that’s part of its charm – you feel like you’ve discovered something the guidebooks haven’t caught onto yet.

Reviews

• Very comfortable spacious apartment close to everything – Jemma from United Kingdom – July 4, 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment was spacious and comfortable which was ideal for my 16 year old and I as we could have our own space to rest. It’s around a 10 min walk to Stare Miasto and close to a shopping centre Galeria Krakowska which has a big Carrefour on the top floor for food. The apartment is very well equipped with a huge fridge freezer, oven, dishwasher and microwave where you could cook full meals if needed. The shower was spacious, the host warned us of a problem with the boiler so hot water took a while to come through. The bedrooms were comfortable and the TV with Apple TV had Netflix, prime and Disney+ and we just used our home logins. There is WiFI in the apartment.
  Communication with the host was simple and responsive to any issues we had and although we arrived after 1am check in was simple with a code entry to the building and a key safe for the apartment itself.
  There’s a bistro set if you want to sit in the courtyard and a dining table for 4.
  We’d stay again on a return to Krakow
  
  What could be improved: Nothing, we had a couple of issues but the host was helpful and responsive to those

• Super! 100% recommend. – Witold from Ireland – May 15, 2025 (10/10)

  Modern and attractive decor, cleanliness and comfort. All necessary amenities (washing machine, dishwasher, TV projector!). I felt like I was in my own home.
  Easy contact with the owner. Great location, close to the city center, train and bus stations.
  
  What could be improved: No one.

• Wonderful – Kateryna from Ukraine – February 4, 2025 (9/10)

  We received a letter from the accommodation in advance.
  We arrived a little early. It was possible to check in earlier than planned. The owner was polite and met us halfway.
  The apartment is clean, everything is new and functional.
  Plenty of space.
  Close to the centre and the train station. Safe location, quiet place.

• Clean and pretty but dark and too expensive. – Paulina from Poland – June 16, 2025 (6/10)

  Good location, the flat was very good equipped and clean.
  
  What could be improved: There were no windows in the flat so it was all time dark inside. The only one window is actually the front glass door that must be covered by blinds anyway. Otherwise other people from the building may see you. Water in the shower could heat only up to 38 degrees and for me it was definitely too cold and the pressure of the water was too low. I think the price for the apartment is too high for what you get.

• Dobry – Chwaliński from Poland – August 9, 2025 (10/10)

  Blisko centrum, mieszkanie bardzo duże i przestronne, dobrze wyposażone w sprzęt i inne udogodnienia.
  
  What could be improved: WiFi nie działało. Nie licząc drzwi wejściowych, w całym mieszkaniu nie ma okien, co trochę zaskoczyło gdyż nie wyłapaliśmy tego na zdjęciach.

• Exceptional – Sławomir from Poland – July 26, 2025 (10/10)

  Bardzo przyjemne mieszkanie w dobrej lokalizacji.
  
  What could be improved: Brak

• Allt var bra – Margret33 from Sweden – July 22, 2025 (10/10)

  Bra läge, nära till spårvagnar och bussar som tog oss fram vart vi ville.
  Bra med två separata sovrum och en bäsdsoffa så vi inte störde varandra på nätterna
  Tvättmaskin var verkligen bra att kunna använda efter vi att vi spenderade dagarna på stan i värmen.
  Värden var lyhörd och hjälpsam.

• Wonderful – Saad from Saudi Arabia – July 13, 2025 (9/10)

  نضيف جدا وموقع مميز
  
  What could be improved: عدم وجود تكييف
  وكان الماء الساخن غير موجود

• Buena decisión. – Gonzalo from Spain – April 14, 2025 (9/10)

  Apartamento moderno, completo y limpio. Buena atención. Un proyector en el salón muy agradable si vas a estar unos cuantos días. Áreas comunes amplias y dos habitaciones pequeñas (en un caso solo la cama) pero suficientes.
  
  What could be improved: Como crítica constructiva pero que no supone un gran problema la ducha echa muy poca agua y tarda mucho en salir caliente, pero finalmente puedes usarla correctamente.
