Selected Apartments by market square Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Selected Apartments by market square? The name actually undersells the place – I mean, yeah, it’s technically a 3-star property, but honestly, it feels like they’re being modest. The location is pretty much perfect if you want to be in the heart of things without dealing with tourist trap pricing. I stayed here last spring and ended up extending my trip just because I loved walking out the door and being steps away from all the morning market action (pro tip: grab coffee from the little stand on the corner before 9 AM – after that, the line gets crazy).

The apartments themselves are surprisingly spacious, which is refreshing when you’re used to hotel rooms that barely fit your suitcase. Mine had this great little kitchenette that actually worked – not one of those fake setups with a mini-fridge and broken microwave. I ended up cooking breakfast most mornings with stuff from the market downstairs, and there’s something really nice about having that option. The WiFi was solid too, which matters if you’re trying to work remotely or just want to video call home without that pixelated mess you get at most places. Check-in was smooth, though I’d recommend arriving before evening rush hour since the narrow streets around the square can get pretty congested with delivery trucks and market vendors packing up.

What really sold me on this place was the vibe – it’s got that lived-in feeling where locals actually hang out in the area, not just tourists taking selfies. The rating of 8.9 makes total sense once you factor in the value. Sure, you might hear some street noise in the mornings when the market vendors are setting up, but honestly, it becomes part of the charm after a day or two. I actually started timing my morning routine around the sounds of the square coming to life. The staff seemed to genuinely know the neighborhood too – they pointed me toward this amazing little bakery two blocks over that I never would’ve found on my own. If you’re looking for a place that feels more like staying in someone’s well-located apartment rather than a sterile hotel room, this is your spot.

Apartments in Krakow provide travelers with authentic local experiences, allowing them to explore traditional Polish markets and cook with regional Galician specialties.

  • Lucia from Slovakia (8/10)

    The location of the accommodation is perfect. Very close to the main square and numerous bars and restaurants. The accommodation is large and spacious. Peter is very helpful. The accommodation is just right for a family with children. 2 double beds are separated in one room only by a small screen. I was overall satisfied with the accommodation – the location is unique, the rooms are beautiful and most importantly the apartment was really very clean.
