Red Kurka Apartments Overview
You know what caught me off guard about Red Kurka Apartments? The name made me expect some quirky boutique place, but it’s actually this solid, no-nonsense spot that just gets the basics really, really right. I mean, it’s technically a 3-star property, but honestly, it punches way above its weight class – there’s a reason it’s sitting at an 8.8 rating, and after staying there, I totally get it.
The thing is, these aren’t your typical cramped hotel rooms. They’re proper apartments, which means you’ve got actual space to spread out, a kitchenette that’s actually functional (not just for show), and – this might sound small but it matters – real closet space where you can hang things properly. The furniture isn’t trying to be Instagram-worthy or anything, but it’s comfortable and sturdy, like someone actually thought about how people live day-to-day. I loved that the couch was deep enough to properly sink into after a long day of walking around, and the bed… well, let’s just say I slept better than I have in most fancy hotels. The soundproofing is surprisingly good too – I was expecting typical apartment-building noise levels, but the walls are thick enough that you’re not hearing every conversation in the hallway.
What really sold me on the place was how the staff handled things. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – no upselling, no lengthy explanations of amenities you’ll never use, just “here’s your key, here’s how the WiFi works, let us know if you need anything.” And when I did need something (the coffee maker decided to quit on day two), they had someone up within twenty minutes with a replacement. That’s the kind of efficiency you don’t always get at places trying to be all things to all people. The housekeeping was thorough without being intrusive, and they actually restocked the kitchen basics – salt, coffee, that sort of stuff – which saved me a grocery run. Honestly, by day three it felt less like staying in a hotel and more like borrowing a friend’s really well-maintained apartment. The location works too, though I can’t give you exact cross-streets – it’s tucked into one of those neighborhoods where you’ve got local cafes within walking distance but you’re not dealing with tourist crowd noise all night. If you’re the type who values having your own space and appreciates when places just work without a lot of fuss, Red Kurka hits that sweet spot perfectly.
Hotels near me in Krakow offer convenient access to the medieval center, where guests can easily walk to St. Mary’s Basilica, Cloth Hall, and traditional Polish restaurants.

Reviews of Red Kurka Apartments
Sergey from Israel (9/10)
Very convenient location, everything is within walking distance. The owner of the apartment is always ready to help. The apartment has everything for a comfortable stay.
Susan from United Kingdom (9/10)
The apartment was characterful and comfortable. Very spacious. Dasha had supplied the necessaries of tea, coffee, sugar, salt and oil. Also some flavourings for cooking. This made preparing a meal much easier. The location is at the edge of the old town and it’s an easy ten minute walk to the market square the Jewish quarter or the castle. We wished we could have stayed longer and would stay there again.

Belinda from Italy (7/10)
The apartment is in a great location near the main square. Very easy to walk to major sites, as well as meet any transportation for sites outside the city center. The toilet and shower are separate, which was actually helpful with a family of 6.
