PrivOffice4U Samurai – Old Town, Main Square, Main station Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to PrivOffice4U Samurai – Old Town, Main Square, Main station, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the name alone. But once you step inside this three-star property on Mikołaja Zyblikiewicza street, it all makes sense — this place is designed for travelers who want to be right in the thick of things without paying five-star prices. The building itself has that classic Kraków charm, tucked into the cobblestone streets of the Old Town where you can practically hear the clip-clop of horse-drawn carriages from your window.

Location That Actually Matters

You know what’s rare in Kraków’s Old Town? Finding a place where you can actually park your car without circling the medieval streets for an hour. This place has private parking — and trust me, that’s worth its weight in gold when you’re dealing with the narrow, tourist-packed streets around the Main Square. I mean, you’re literally a few minutes’ walk from Cloth Hall and St. Mary’s Basilica, but you don’t have to deal with the headache of finding somewhere to leave your rental car. The location score of 9.3 isn’t just marketing fluff — couples especially seem to get it, rating the spot 9.0 for romantic getaways.

The Room Experience

The room setup here is pretty clever, actually. It’s more like having your own little workspace-meets-crash-pad right in the heart of the city. The “Samurai” theme isn’t overdone — just subtle touches that give the space some personality without feeling gimmicky. What I appreciated most was how quiet it stays despite being so central. You’d think being this close to the Main Square would mean constant noise, but the old building’s thick walls do their job well. The windows face the right direction too, so you get natural light without the chaos of the main tourist thoroughfares.

Getting Around From Here

Here’s something most travel sites won’t tell you — the main train station is close enough that you don’t need a taxi, but far enough that you’re not dealing with the constant stream of travelers dragging suitcases past your door at all hours. I walked it in about 10 minutes with my luggage, and it’s a pretty straightforward route once you know it. The tram connections are solid too, which matters if you want to explore beyond the Old Town bubble. Honestly, for a three-star place, the accessibility to both the historic center and modern transport links is pretty impressive.

Why Guests Love It

What really works about this place is that it doesn’t try to be something it’s not. You’re not getting a fancy hotel restaurant or elaborate amenities, but you are getting a solid base in one of Europe’s most beautiful city centers at a price that won’t destroy your travel budget. The 8.1 rating reflects exactly what you’d hope — it’s reliable, well-located, and does the basics right. For travelers who plan to spend their days wandering Kraków’s streets and their evenings in the city’s incredible bars and restaurants, this is the kind of place that just makes sense.

  • Cormac from Ireland (9/10)

    This is a lovely apartment within easy walking distance of old town Krakow, the train station, and the Jewish quarter – excellent location. It's also very quiet because it's kind of on a little side street. Facilities wise it has everything you'd need, and the Japanese-oriented decor is really nice looking. Great for the price, and very comfortable.
