Sunset Apartment Cracow Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Sunset Apartment Cracow on Paulińska Street, you immediately know you’ve hit the jackpot location-wise. I mean, you’re literally steps away from the Main Market Square — I could hear the horse-drawn carriages clopping by from the building entrance. This three-star property sits right in the thick of Krakow’s Old Town, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. The building itself has that classic Krakow charm, tucked between centuries-old architecture that makes you feel like you’re living in a postcard.

The Apartment Experience

What struck me most about this apartment setup is how it gives you that “living like a local” vibe while still being tourist-friendly. The space feels more personal than your typical hotel room — there’s actually character here. You’ve got a proper kitchen area where you can brew morning coffee or store those amazing Polish pastries you’ll inevitably buy too many of. The furnishings are simple but comfortable, and everything you need is there without feeling cluttered. It’s that sweet spot between homey and practical that’s surprisingly hard to find in Old Town.

Location Magic

Here’s what the guidebooks don’t tell you — being this close to everything means you can duck back to your place whenever you want. Tired feet from walking the cobblestones? Pop back for a quick rest. Want to drop off shopping bags from the Cloth Hall? Two-minute walk. The couples who stay here absolutely love this flexibility (they’ve rated the location 9.1, and I totally get why).

You’re close enough to St. Mary’s Basilica that you’ll hear the hourly trumpet call, but far enough from the main square chaos that you can actually sleep at night.

Practical Perks

One thing that really surprised me — they’ve got parking available on site, which is honestly like finding gold in Old Town Krakow. Most places around here, you’re looking at a 15-minute walk to the nearest garage and paying through the nose for it. The fact that you can actually drive up and park here makes this place incredibly practical, especially if you’re planning day trips to places like Wieliczka Salt Mine or Zakopane. The whole setup just works better than you’d expect for a three-star place in such a prime location.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back here isn’t fancy amenities or over-the-top service — it’s the combination of being exactly where you want to be with the freedom to live at your own pace. You can grab breakfast at the nearby cafés, cook dinner if you feel like it, or just crash after a long day of sightseeing without feeling like you’re in a sterile hotel environment. The 8.0 rating reflects exactly what this place is — solid, well-located, and genuinely useful for exploring Krakow properly. It’s not trying to be something it’s not, and that honesty is refreshing.

Reviews of Sunset Apartment Cracow

  • Dorian from Poland (8/10)

    Wonderful, spatious, clean, fully equipped, perfectly located in the city center yet still quiet. And also affordable!

  • Dzmitry from Poland (7/10)

    Apartment in the old town with a stunning view

  • yuliia from Ukraine (9/10)

    + There was no need to contact the host to get the keys, and no one disturbed with cleaning.
    + The location is excellent, very close to the promenade where you can watch beautiful sunsets, and the view from the windows is also lovely and offers a pleasant cityscape.
    + The apartment is comfortable, with a fresh renovation, everything is tidy and clean. The quality of the dishes is good (though I didn’t use them).

    The atmosphere is nice and perfect for relaxation =)
