Skłodowskiej Apartment II – LoftAffair Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Skłodowskiej Apartment II – LoftAffair, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from a three-star place in Old Town — but this spot surprised me right away. The building sits on a quiet stretch of Skłodowskiej-Curie street, and you know what? That’s actually perfect because you’re still in the thick of everything without the constant tourist noise. The entrance has this understated charm that feels more like visiting a friend’s place than checking into typical tourist accommodation.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about staying in Kraków’s Old Town — location can make or break your trip, and this place nails it. You’re literally a few minutes’ walk from the Main Market Square, but tucked away enough that you won’t hear street performers at midnight. I mean, when couples are rating the location this highly, they’re onto something. The nearby streets have these little cafés and bars that locals actually use, not just the touristy spots everyone talks about. Plus, you can walk to Wawel Castle without breaking a sweat.

The Space Itself

The apartment feels bigger than you’d expect — there’s something about the layout that just works well for two people. The room has decent natural light, which honestly makes a huge difference when you’re spending time getting ready or just relaxing between sightseeing. What I really appreciated was the kitchen setup — it’s not massive, but you can actually make coffee in the morning or grab a quick snack without hunting down a café every single time. The whole place has this clean, modern vibe that doesn’t try too hard to be fancy.

Practical Stuff That Matters

Let’s talk about the details that actually affect your stay. The Wi-Fi works properly (I know, basic requirement, but you’d be surprised), and there’s enough storage space for your stuff without living out of a suitcase. The bathroom is well-designed — not huge, but everything functions as it should. One thing I noticed is how quiet it gets at night, which is pretty remarkable considering you’re right in the historic center. The building itself feels secure, and check-in was straightforward without any of that awkward waiting around.

Why Guests Love It

This place works because it gets the balance right — you’re staying somewhere that feels like a real apartment in the heart of one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, but without paying premium prices. The location score speaks for itself, and honestly, when you can walk to everything worth seeing while having a peaceful place to return to, that’s pretty much the sweet spot for a Kraków trip. It’s especially good for couples who want their own space but don’t need all the hotel services they probably won’t use anyway.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Krakow at least two months ahead for major events like cultural festivals, ensuring the best rates and prime locations near Market Square.

Reviews of Skłodowskiej Apartment II – LoftAffair

  • Alexander from United Kingdom (10/10)

    Fast replies from the owners, answered all our questions promptly. Property very clean, even if it does need a little revamp in small parts, this didn’t detract from our beautiful stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again or recommend to others! We plan on coming back to Krakow as we didn’t see everything we wanted to and will book here again. Loved that it had a washing machine too

  • Ruvceski from Serbia (8/10)

    Spacious, well equipped apartment. Good location

  • Tanya from United States (9/10)

    The apartment was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. It is also within walking distance of the old town center, a mall, grocery stores, and tram stops. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. We really enjoyed our stay.

  • Nadezda_s from Czech Republic (9/10)

    Близко к историческому центру, на рождественскую ярмарку 10 минут пешком, до вокзала тоже 10 минут. Просторные апартаменты, кухня, оборудованная всем необходимым, есть даже пакетики чая, кофе. Не смотря на высокие потолки, в большой комнате было достаточно тепло, в шкафу также были и дополнительные одеяла, которые пригодились в маленькой комнате, где большое балконное окно, а батарея отопления заставлена вплотную диваном. Душевая кабина удобная и большая. Улица очень тихая. Было очень удобно пользоваться такси Bolt, например, до соляной шахты Величка 36-40 злотых. До фабрики Шиндлера 16 злотых.
