SL apartments Overview

First Impressions

Aleja Słowackiego is one of those wide, tree-lined avenues that makes Krakow feel genuinely grand, and SL apartments sits right on it — which already tells you something about the kind of stay you’re in for. It’s a four-star property, and honestly, the address alone does a lot of the work. The building has that solid, well-kept Central European character that you either love immediately or grow to appreciate by day two. I mean, it’s not flashy, but it feels considered.

Location & Neighbourhood

The Krowodrza district is one of those spots that locals actually live in, which makes a real difference when you’re wandering around looking for somewhere to eat that isn’t aimed squarely at tourists. You’re close enough to the Old Town that it’s an easy walk or a short tram ride, but far enough away that the streets around you are calm in the evenings. Couples especially seem to click with this setup — the location scores an 8.0 for two-person trips, and you can sort of see why. There’s a rhythm to the neighbourhood that suits people who want to explore at their own pace.

The Apartments

The “apartments” part of the name isn’t just marketing — you actually get proper living space, which changes how a stay feels. There’s room to spread out, a kitchen or kitchenette to use if you want to grab things from the local shops rather than eating every meal out, and a general sense that the place was designed for people staying a few nights rather than just passing through. It’s practical without being cold, and the four-star finish means you’re not sacrificing comfort for the extra space. Well, most guests seem to agree — the overall rating sits at 7.7, which is solid for this type of property.

Getting Around

One thing worth knowing is that Aleja Słowackiego has good tram connections running along it, so you’re not dependent on taxis or rideshares to get into the city centre. The main train station and bus terminal are genuinely reachable without any fuss, which matters if you’re doing a multi-city trip through Poland. Krakow’s Old Town, Kazimierz, and Wawel Castle are all within comfortable striking distance. Honestly, the location score of 8.4 that the property carries isn’t just a number — it reflects something real about how well-placed this spot is.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back to SL apartments, I think, is the combination of space, a genuinely good address, and the fact that you’re staying in a part of Krakow that feels lived-in and real. It’s the kind of place that suits couples on a city break, but also anyone who wants a base that doesn’t feel like a generic hotel room. You get a bit of independence, a neighbourhood worth exploring on foot, and easy access to everything the city has to offer. For a four-star stay in one of the top-rated areas in Krakow, it’s a pretty compelling package.

Early hotels booking in Krakow requires advance planning during peak tourist seasons when visitors flock to see the city’s UNESCO-listed medieval center and royal landmarks.

SL apartments Accommodations

Reviews of SL apartments

• Good room for the price, but don’t recommend it for light sleepers – Natalia from United Kingdom – March 10, 2025 (8/10)

  Close to old square and good transport links. Size of the room enough for 2 people, really clean on the arrival.
  
  What could be improved: Couldn’t open the window due to noise outside as it’s facing a main street. Could do with TV in the room. Couldn’t lock bathroom doors

• Perfect cozy winter hideout. – Aimee from United Kingdom – February 14, 2025 (9/10)

  It’s a 20/30 minute walk to the city centre but worth walking to as lots of restaurants (recommend Pino) bus stops, bunny cafe and supermarkets nearby / on the way, easy to get the bus from glowny station to radio krakow (3 min walk from apartment.) The apartment was clean, cozy and comfortable. Just outside the apartment door was cleaning products, extra towels, extra bed linen and hairdryers. Main door is a code, second door is a code then keys are in a code box. Easy process and made us feel really safe! Big pot of coffee and sugar supplied, lots of plug sockets, really warm big radiator, big fridge. Really loved it here and would 100% stay again.
  
  What could be improved: Only issue we had was the bathroom sink was blocked / filled up quick. Needs looking at as it’s easy to overflow.

• Comfortable stay – Hon from United Kingdom – October 22, 2024 (8/10)

  Good location, comfortable vibe, nice balcony
  
  What could be improved: The iron and washing machine are not in the flat; they are located outside the room. There is also no cooker hood.

• To the owner: You did well….Nothing to complain….I enjoyed staying there – Novy from Belgium – August 14, 2024 (7/10)

  It is a good place to stay….small and comfort….bathroom is clean….with a small kitchen, even i didn’t cook….
  
  What could be improved: One thing that disturbing me is when the neighbour upstair using their bathroom , i can hear water running through the pipe, then it’s hard for me to go back to sleep anymore….I was in the first floor, #2)….

• Wonderful – Zuhal from Turkey – July 30, 2024 (9/10)

  Room is great, well decorated. There are kettle, stove and some basic kitchen stuff. Bed is big and comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: The enterance hall is kinda scary. There might be some noise since the hostel is on the road.

• As for Krakow prices, these apartment is pretty good – Vitalii from Ukraine – May 22, 2024 (8/10)

  The accommodation is a 15-minute walk from the city center. There is a kitchenette, a refrigerator, a stylish shower. Comfortable bed. Good and contactable owner
  
  What could be improved: The renovation of our room leaves much to be desired. It's more on the kitchenette side. Some of the dishes also need to be replaced. It is very noisy both day and night, because the freeway is right outside the window. Don’t forget to bring earplugs)

• Good – Lina from Turkey – February 21, 2024 (7/10)

  Great facility, good location and helpful staff. Kitchen had all the essentials. Close to the tram and bus stops. Safe place to stay.
  
  What could be improved: Had an internet problem for two days. Even though the staff was very helpful it was not a problem they could solve so had to wait for service for two days.

• Very Good – White from Malta – February 11, 2024 (8/10)

  Place is secure, easy access and cheap.
  
  What could be improved: No balcony even though showed picture of balcony. Wifi had a very unstable connection.

• Convenient place – Paulina from United Kingdom – December 2, 2023 (9/10)

  Very comfy place good shower kitchen bed all to good standard
  
  What could be improved: Floor is a bit squeaky

• Wonderful – Erin from Australia – June 12, 2023 (9/10)

  Lovely little apartment just outside the old town. Super comfy bed, good bathroom, and adequate cooking facilities/equipment. I felt safe walking back here at night from the old town as a solo woman traveller. Very quiet and secure. I'll definitely stay here again!
  
  What could be improved: A couple of hooks to hang towels in the bathroom would be nice, as would a small shelf in the shower for soap etc. The internet was sometimes a little shaky, but adequate. A few of the electrical outlets didn't seem to work.
