Rakowicka Oasis Luxury Old Town

Rakowicka Oasis Luxury Old Town Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Rakowicka Oasis Luxury Old Town, you immediately get that feeling you’ve stumbled onto something special. The building sits perfectly on Rakowicka Street, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better — you’re literally in the heart of Krakow’s Old Town without all the tourist chaos right outside your door. It’s one of those four-star properties that punches above its weight, and the moment you step inside, you can tell they’ve put real thought into the details.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re close enough to everything that matters, but far enough from the main square that you won’t hear drunk tourists at 2 AM. The Main Market Square is maybe a five-minute walk, which means you can easily pop over for dinner or sightseeing, then retreat back to your quiet corner of the Old Town. I mean, couples absolutely rave about this location (they give it a perfect 10), and I get why. You can walk to Wawel Castle, explore the Jewish Quarter, or grab coffee at one of those tiny cafes tucked into medieval buildings — all without dealing with the crowds that swarm other parts of the city center.

The Property Experience

What really sets Rakowicka Oasis Upscale Old Town apart is how they’ve managed to blend modern comfort with that authentic Krakow charm. The rooms feel thoughtfully designed rather than cookie-cutter corporate, and you know what? They actually have private parking on-site, which is honestly a game-changer in this part of the city. Try finding parking in Old Town otherwise — it’s a nightmare. The staff seems to genuinely care about your experience too, not just going through the motions like at some places.

Practical Perks

Beyond the obvious location advantages, there are those little things that make your stay smoother. Having that private parking means you can actually rent a car and explore places like Wieliczka Salt Mine or Zakopane without stressing about where to leave it. The building itself feels secure and well-maintained — important when you’re staying in a historic district where some properties can be, well, charmingly run-down. Plus, being on a quieter street means you’ll actually get decent sleep, which isn’t always guaranteed in tourist-heavy areas.

Why Guests Love It

With an 8.8 rating, this place clearly hits the sweet spot for most travelers. It’s that perfect balance of being centrally located without feeling like you’re staying in a theme park. You get the authentic Old Town experience — cobblestone streets, medieval architecture, that magical Krakow atmosphere — but with modern amenities and genuine comfort. For couples especially, it offers that romantic European getaway feeling while still being practical enough that you’re not constantly dealing with tourist traps and overpriced everything right outside your door.

Reviews of Rakowicka Oasis Luxury Old Town

• Excellent Apartment just like pictures online,when contacted the host got back straight away. – Paula from United Kingdom – July 31, 2025 (10/10)

  Everything was great,sauna was lovely,not to far from the centre just cut through the train station straight into shopping centre which was good,then just a few minutes to the square.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was fab, just the outside seating area in need of a good cleaning.

• A beautiful apartment to relax – Tracie from United Kingdom – July 20, 2025 (10/10)

  Tastefully furnished
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Wonderful – Hanyin from Taiwan – April 3, 2025 (9/10)

  The twin bed room’s window is not able to close very tight to avoid cold air.

• One of the best properties we have stayed in! – Michelle from United Kingdom – January 24, 2025 (10/10)

  Beautifully decorated and very elegant. The lighting and finishing touches were fabulous. Comfortable beds and property was spotlessly clean and warm. Did not use the sauna, but the showers were amazing, as was the bath. Water temperature was always piping hot. Great location, we used BOLT to get about which was so cheap! Less than 10 mins ride from main market square. There is a little supermarket just a 2 min walk from property, which had all we needed and reasonably priced. I would say we couldn’t have chosen anywhere better!
  
  What could be improved: We were very happy with the property, however a toaster and drying rack for clothes would have been appreciated.

• Exceptional – Colleen from United Kingdom – November 26, 2024 (10/10)

  Lovely apartment communication very good and reception stayed on for our late check in
  
  What could be improved: Nothing not to like. Very pleased with our stay
  Not a huge problem as the local shop stays open until 11pm but might be nice to have a few items for late check ins. Some milk in the fridge etc

• Nice apartment in the city – Nelmsteen from United Kingdom – November 9, 2024 (10/10)

  A lovely apartment within walking distance of the city centre. Brilliant transport links. Great food nearby as well as a small supermarket.
  
  The apartment has all the facilities you could want from a kitchenette incouding electric hob, fridge freezer and oven, living room, two bedrooms, one bathroom with a toilet, another with a shower, sauna and bath. Two TVs, a multiroom sound system, a balcony. It was great.
  
  The sauna was amazing, and I really want one at home now..
  
  Mariusz was on hand and quick to reply to all messages. We were allowed to check in early and also allowed to check out a bit later too. This was a huge help.
  
  What could be improved: Personally, only negative for me was I'm a big guy, 195cm tall, and I had the double bed. It had two small duvets and found it hard to cover myself than if it was one large duvet. If one was provided, that would have been perfect.
  
  Also, it took me a while to figure out the mirror behind the toilet is a cupboard containing toilet paper 😂 it would have been helpful if this was obvious.

• We loved the space since there were only two people. – Lillie from Bahrain – September 19, 2024 (9/10)

  What could be improved: We didn’t like that there were no shelves in the bathroom with the toilet. Considering the size of the second bath a second toilet would have made sense. There was no bodysoap in one bath and no shampoo in either bathroom. Also, I saw Silverfish and small bugs in a couple of rooms.

• This is an amazing property and really did make our stay! – Clare from United Kingdom – September 13, 2024 (10/10)

  We stayed here for 3 nights at the end of August and it was incredible. It honestly is just like the photos! Everything was easy, including checking in and we managed a late checkout of 6pm for a fee.
  We really did feel like we were staying in luxury and loved the big bath and sauna. The beds are comfy, bedding gorgeous and the place was spotless. We sat out at evening on the little balcony too. My daughter loved the light up wardrobes!
  It is about 15/20 mins walk into the main square, which for us, wasn’t a problem. We liked the walk in and a bolt taxi back didn’t cost much at all. We will be back for sure!
  
  What could be improved: We loved it all. Certainly the best kept secret compared to prices elsewhere for such a stunning apartment.

• Wonderful – Tanja from Finland – August 4, 2024 (9/10)

  The apartment was very clean and beautiful. Location right next to shopping mall. Short walk to Old Town.
  
  What could be improved: Floorwiper would have been good for wiping bathroom floor dry from water from tub and sauna.

• Wonderful – Nabeel from Saudi Arabia – June 22, 2024 (9/10)

  Clean , good location
  The owner was cooperative when I asked to change the pillows , he send new pillows the next day.
  
  What could be improved: 1- when I choose the apartment I was looking for apartment with 2 bathrooms because we are 4 adults , but unfortunately this apartment has 2 bathroom but only one of the bathroom has toilet so, all of us has to use it which was not convenient.
  2- There were no shampoo and shower gel and only one toilet paper roll.
  3- some appliance need maintains in the bathrooms.
