Room8 Apartments by Cracovia Prime Overview
You know what caught me off guard about Room8 Apartments? The moment I stepped out of that old-school elevator onto the third floor, it felt way more polished than I expected for a 3-star place. I mean, when you’re staying right on Wielopole Street in Old Town Krakow, you’re usually trading luxury for location – but honestly, these guys seem to have figured out how to do both without breaking the bank.
The apartment itself was actually spacious enough that I didn’t feel like I was living out of a suitcase for once. There’s this nice balance between modern amenities and that classic Krakow character – you’ll get your fast wifi and decent shower pressure (trust me, not a given in old European buildings), but you’re still surrounded by those gorgeous high ceilings and original architectural details that make you remember you’re in a city that’s been around since the 13th century. What I really appreciated was the kitchen setup – not just some sad mini-fridge situation, but actual counter space where you can prep those amazing pierogi you’ll inevitably buy from the market vendors just down the street. The soundproofing is surprisingly good too, which matters because Wielopole can get a bit lively, especially on weekends when everyone’s bar-hopping between Kazimierz and the main square.
Location-wise, well, you’re basically in the sweet spot. I could walk to St. Mary’s Basilica in about eight minutes – I timed it because I’m weird like that – and the Cloth Hall was even closer. But here’s the thing locals know: you’re positioned perfectly to duck into those quieter side streets when the tourist crowds get overwhelming. Grodzka Street is right there when you want to wander toward Wawel Castle, and honestly, some of my best meals happened at the little places tucked into the alleys nearby that most people walk right past. The tram connections are solid if you want to explore beyond the center, though I barely used them because everything worth seeing was within walking distance. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – no weird key pickup drama or confusing instructions that seem to plague a lot of apartment rentals. At 8.4 rating, it’s clearly hitting the mark for most people, and I can see why. It’s one of those places where the practical stuff just works, the location can’t be beat, and you’re not paying premium hotel prices for the privilege of staying in Krakow’s most coveted neighborhood.
The luxury concierge service in Krakow offers personalized access to private royal collections, traditional Polish dining, and VIP cultural experiences in this historic Polish jewel.

What could be improved: Платна пральна машина( 10 злотих)Pobyt wekendowy udany. – Marzena from Poland – August 11, 2025 (5/10)
Lokalizacja idealna do pieszych wędrówek. Łatwość poruszania się po mieście ze względu na lokalizację.
What could be improved: W apartamencie czuć było nieprzyjemny zapach z kanalizacji, hałas z ulicy który w nocy z soboty na niedzielę jest bardzo nasilony. Łózko którego stelaż spada aż na podłogę .Ogólnie nie jestem zadowolona, brak klimatyzacji nieprzyjemny zapach i strasznie hałaśliwa ulica.Pokoje na pewno wymagają odświeżenia i poprawy kilku rzeczy jeśli mają one nazywać się apartamentami. – Walkowiak from Poland – August 4, 2025 (5/10)
Super lokalizacja, miły personel zarządzający
What could be improved: Nieprzyjemny zapach z toalety, jedno z łóżek się ciągle zarywało i trzeba było je ciągle naprawiać, szafki które wisiały na ścianie nie były stabilne i mogły w każdej chwili spaść na osobę leżąca na łóżkuWonderful – Anonymous from Poland – July 5, 2025 (9/10)
