Selected Apartments by market square Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Selected Apartments by market square on Sławkowska Street, you immediately get that “I’m in the real Kraków” feeling. This three-star property sits right in Old Town’s heart — and I mean literally in the heart, not just marketing speak. The building itself has that classic Polish charm you’d expect from this part of the city, though it’s been thoughtfully updated for modern travelers.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s what makes this spot special: you’re about a two-minute walk from the Main Market Square, which honestly beats staying directly on the square where tourist crowds can get overwhelming. Sławkowska is one of those cobblestone streets that feels authentically Kraków — you’ll pass locals heading to work alongside visitors exploring the medieval architecture. The location score of 9.8 makes perfect sense when you realize St. Mary’s Basilica is practically around the corner, and you can reach Wawel Castle in about ten minutes on foot.

The Apartment Experience

What I appreciate about these apartments is that each apartment feels like a proper temporary home rather than a hotel room. The spaces are well-designed with separate living areas, and most units include a kitchen setup that’s actually functional — not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation. The interiors strike a nice balance between modern comfort and subtle nods to the building’s history. You know what really impressed me? The attention to practical details like proper lighting for reading and enough outlets for all your devices.

Neighborhood Insights

Being on Sławkowska puts you in this sweet spot where you’re close enough to everything but not drowning in tour groups. There’s a fantastic traditional Polish restaurant called Pod Aniołami just down the street — locals actually eat there, which tells you something. In the morning, you’ll hear the clip-clop of horse-drawn carriages heading to the square, but it’s not so constant that it becomes annoying. The street itself has this lived-in quality that makes you feel like you’re experiencing the real city, not just the postcard version.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.9 rating reflects what you’d expect from a well-run property in this location — it’s not trying to be fancy, but it delivers on the essentials really well. Couples especially seem to love it here, and I can see why — there’s something romantic about having your own little Kraków hideaway steps from one of Europe’s most beautiful squares. The fact that you can grab groceries and cook a simple meal, then walk out your door and be surrounded by 700 years of history? That’s pretty hard to beat. Plus, there’s parking available, which anyone who’s driven in Old Town will tell you is basically a miracle.

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

  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.
