Red Brick Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Red Brick Apartments on Kurniki Street, you immediately get that “I’m staying somewhere special” feeling. The building itself has this authentic Krakow character — you know, the kind of place that actually belongs in Old Town rather than trying too hard to fit in. It’s a three-star property, but honestly, the location alone makes it feel like you’re getting away with something. The entrance is understated in that European way where you’re not sure if you’re in the right place until you realize that’s exactly the point.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s the thing about staying at Red Brick Apartments — you’re literally in the heart of everything, and I mean everything. When they say Old Town, they’re not exaggerating. You can walk to the Main Market Square in about three minutes, maybe five if you stop to take photos along the way. The Cloth Hall, St. Mary’s Basilica, all those cobblestone streets you’ve seen in photos — they’re right there. What I really appreciated was how couples seem to gravitate toward this spot (they rate the location nearly perfect for romantic trips), and after spending time here, I totally get why. There’s something about being able to wander back to your apartment after dinner without dealing with trams or taxis that just makes the whole experience more intimate.

The Apartment Experience

The apartments themselves are exactly what you’d expect from a well-run three-star place in this part of Krakow — clean, functional, and surprisingly spacious for Old Town standards. Each unit feels more like a temporary home than a hotel room, which is perfect when you’re planning to spend several days exploring the city. The kitchenette setup means you can grab fresh bread from one of the nearby bakeries and have a proper breakfast without rushing. Actually, speaking of breakfast, they offer both continental options and breakfast to go, which is pretty smart when you consider how many early morning castle tours and day trips people take from here.

Practical Perks

One thing that really sets Red Brick Apartments apart is the private parking — and if you’ve ever tried to park in Krakow’s Old Town, you’ll understand why this is such a big deal. Most places around here either don’t offer parking at all or charge ridiculous amounts for it. The fact that you can actually drive here and not worry about where to leave your car is honestly a game-changer, especially if you’re planning day trips to places like Wieliczka Salt Mine or Zakopane. It’s one of those practical details that you don’t think about until you need it, and then you’re really grateful it’s there.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back to Red Brick Apartments isn’t any single flashy amenity — it’s the combination of being exactly where you want to be with none of the usual Old Town headaches. You get that authentic Krakow experience without sacrificing comfort or convenience. The location score speaks for itself, but what really matters is how it feels to stay here. You’re not just visiting Krakow; you’re actually living in it for a few days. And honestly, in a city this beautiful, that’s exactly what you want.

Hotel in Krakow reservations rise before the Christmas market opening, so smart travelers lock in Square-view rooms ahead of time.
