Raj 3 ul. Rajska Stare Miasto Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Raj 3 ul. Rajska Stare Miasto feels like discovering a well-kept secret tucked into one of Krakow’s most coveted streets. The building itself has that classic Old Town charm — you know, the kind where you’re climbing authentic stairs to reach your accommodation on the second floor. It’s not flashy or imposing, but there’s something genuinely appealing about how it blends seamlessly into the historic fabric of Rajska Street. The moment you step inside, you realize this four-star property has nailed that sweet spot between comfort and character.
Location & Neighborhood
Honestly, I can’t overstate how perfect this location is — and apparently couples agree, rating it a perfect 10.0. You’re literally in the heart of Krakow’s Old Town, which means the Main Market Square is just a few minutes’ walk away. What I love about Rajska Street specifically is that it’s close enough to everything but just removed enough from the main tourist thoroughfares that you’re not dealing with constant crowds right outside your door. You can easily walk to St. Mary’s Basilica, the Cloth Hall, or any of the countless restaurants and bars, but you’ll actually get some peace when you want it.
The Space
The accommodation at Raj 3 ul. Rajska Stare Miasto strikes that perfect balance between modern comfort and respecting the building’s historic character. Being on the second floor means you get nice views of the surrounding Old Town architecture — something that never gets old, trust me. The rooms feel thoughtfully designed rather than cookie-cutter, with enough space to actually unpack and settle in for a few days. I mean, when you’re staying in the Old Town, you’re not expecting massive spaces, but what you get here feels well-proportioned and genuinely comfortable.
The Old Town Experience
What really sets this place apart is how it lets you live like a temporary local in one of Europe’s most beautiful historic centers. You’ll find yourself popping out for morning coffee at nearby cafes, then returning between sightseeing sessions — something that’s actually practical here given the central location. The building gives you that authentic Krakow experience without sacrificing modern amenities, which honestly can be hard to find in the Old Town. There’s something special about staying on a street like Rajska where you’re surrounded by centuries of history but still have everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Why Guests Love It
The 9.3 rating really speaks for itself, but what strikes me most is how this property manages to deliver on the promise of an authentic Old Town experience. You’re not just visiting Krakow’s historic center — you’re actually staying in it, in a way that feels natural rather than touristy. The combination of the unbeatable location, the character of the building, and the genuine comfort of the accommodation creates something pretty special. For couples especially, there’s something undeniably romantic about having your own little corner of this UNESCO World Heritage site to return to each evening.

The property was lovely and clean. The location was perfect ie near lots of bars and restaurants but still quiet. The self check in was easy. The apartment is well equipped and very comfortable.
Our hosts were very helpful and responded extremely quickly to a couple of questions I had. Also on our check out day Renata kindly let us remain in the apartment until 2pm.
What could be improved: NothingHomebase in Krakow – Nancy from Canada – February 11, 2024 (10/10)
An excellent use of the space made this studio very functional and comfortable for our week stay. The unit was clean and the building quiet, but within a few blocks of the old town, and everything we needed / wanted. There was a nice park nearby for a run.
What could be improved: NothingExceptional – Joanne from United Kingdom – January 21, 2024 (10/10)
Immaculately clean.
Good location – 5 minutes to the main square but not in a noisy area.
Toiletries provided which is good if on a hand luggage only flight and a washing machine is good for the same reason.
Did not meet the hosts but instructions were given regarding access.
There was a safe storage to leave small bags after checking out.
Hosts responded promptly
