Tenczynska 4 B Starówka Aparts by Homeprime Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard the name “Tenczynska 4 B Starówka Aparts by Homeprime,” I thought someone was just mashing words together. But once you actually find the place (and yes, it takes a minute to locate), you realize you’ve stumbled onto something pretty decent in what I’m guessing is the old town area – that “Starówka” bit is a dead giveaway if you know any Polish.

The thing about these apartment-style places is they’re hit or miss, you know? Sometimes you get a glorified hostel room, other times you feel like you’re crashing at a friend’s well-appointed flat. This one leans toward the latter, honestly. It’s got that 3-star rating for a reason – not fancy, but they’ve clearly put thought into making the spaces actually livable rather than just Instagram-ready. The 7.6 rating makes sense too; it’s solid without being extraordinary, which actually might be exactly what you want when you’re trying to experience a city rather than just your hotel room.

What I really appreciate is how these apartments don’t try to be something they’re not. You get proper kitchen facilities – and I mean actually useful ones, not just a sad mini-fridge and a kettle – plus enough space to spread out your stuff without living out of a suitcase for your entire stay. The location in the old town area means you’re probably walking distance from the main sights, but here’s the thing nobody tells you: old town locations can get pretty noisy, especially on weekends when everyone’s wandering around taking photos and looking for restaurants. During the week though? Perfect. You can actually hear yourself think, and there’s something nice about stepping outside and immediately being in the thick of things without that whole “tourist arriving from the suburbs” feeling you get with some hotels.

The Homeprime management seems to have their act together – at least that’s been my experience with their properties. Check-in is usually straightforward, they’re responsive when stuff breaks (and in older buildings, stuff does break occasionally), and they don’t nickel and dime you for every little thing. I mean, it’s not going to blow your mind, but sometimes you just want a clean, comfortable base where you can make coffee in the morning and actually unpack your clothes. Plus, apartment-style stays are great when you want to grab groceries from local markets and cook something instead of eating out every single meal – your wallet will thank you, and honestly, shopping at local food markets is half the fun of traveling anyway.

Reviews of Tenczynska 4 B Starówka Aparts by Homeprime

  • Agne from Lithuania (8/10)

    Awesome location, communication, self-checkin, price.
    Appartment is good, well-equiped, there is a plenty of extra towels.

  • Anastasis from Cyprus (9/10)

    Excellent location, clean

  • Franciszek from United Kingdom (8/10)

    Great location,
    Less than a 10 min walk to old square

  • Kokkinidou from Greece (7/10)

    The location was excellent, everything accessible just by walking. The apartment and the architecture of it was great, really comfy, with two separate rooms, really nice decorations, kitchen to use for cooking, nice lights in the rooms and really nice atmosphere inside. Also ground floor and accessible.

  • Joe from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Great location, spotlessly clean, friendly communicative host

  • Horson from United Kingdom (8/10)

    The location and facilities are great as with the space & convenient to Old Town & mode of transport. Having been to Krakow 3 times I'd say this is the best (or the better) apartments I stayed by far in terms of space that I would choose this place again unlike the previous 2 different apartments I stayed in 2019 & 2022 (one of them was coincidently less than a minute down the road from here) just wish I found this place earlier.

  • Anna from Greece (9/10)

    Clean room, provided all we needed, very close to the old city center.
    The room is in a quiet area and there are supermarkets nearby that are open almost all day, even on weekends.
    The owner left some portions of coffee and tea for us. He speaks English very well so one may easily communicate.

  • Alfredo from Germany (8/10)

    The price was really good for a quite good location

  • Marie from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Great position and facilities and having an outside area to sit a bonus.

  • T from United Kingdom (8/10)

    Great apartments, just outside of old town, 5 mins walk into the center. Big rooms and easy to access, would recommend.
