Starowiślna 41-43 by PI Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Starowiślna 41-43 by PI Apartments on one of Kraków’s most charming cobblestone streets, you immediately get that “I’m in the real Old Town” feeling. This three-star property sits right in the thick of things — I mean, you’re literally steps from the main square, but tucked away enough that you’re not dealing with the worst of the tourist chaos. The building itself has that classic Kraków character, and honestly, the location alone makes this place worth considering.

The Heart of Old Town

Here’s what I love about staying here — you can walk to pretty much everything that matters in about five minutes. The Main Market Square is so close you’ll probably end up there multiple times a day just because it’s easier than trying to navigate around it. St. Mary’s Basilica, the Cloth Hall, all those little side streets with the best pierogi spots — they’re all right there. You know what’s really nice though? Despite being in such a central spot, the street itself isn’t completely overrun with tour groups at all hours.

The Apartment Experience

The apartment setup here is actually pretty smart for this type of stay. You get more space than a typical hotel room, and having a kitchenette means you can grab some local cheese and bread from the nearby market and have breakfast on your own schedule. The furnishings are modern and clean — nothing fancy, but everything works well and feels comfortable after a long day of sightseeing. The windows face the street, so you get those lovely Old Town views, though it can get a bit noisy during peak tourist season.

Local Insights

One thing I really appreciated was how the staff actually knows the neighborhood. They pointed me toward some great spots that weren’t just the obvious tourist traps — like this little wine bar around the corner that locals actually frequent, and a restaurant tucked away on a side street that serves incredible żurek. The building doesn’t have its own parking (honestly, you wouldn’t want to drive in this part of town anyway), but they’ll help you figure out the best options nearby if you absolutely need it.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to blow you away with amenities or over-the-top service, but it nails what most people actually want when they’re exploring Kraków — a comfortable, well-located base that doesn’t break the bank. Couples especially seem to get it — there’s something romantic about being able to wander back to your place through those medieval streets after dinner. The 8.8 rating makes sense because it delivers exactly what it promises without any unpleasant surprises. If you want to be in the absolute center of Old Town without paying premium prices, this is honestly one of your better bets.

Hotel in Krakow booking should be done early, especially during summer season when the city hosts internationally acclaimed cultural festivals and medieval celebrations.
