Tenczynska 4 B Starówka Aparts by Homeprime Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Tenczynska 4 B Starówka Aparts by Homeprime, you immediately get that authentic Kraków feeling — this isn’t some sterile hotel chain, but rather a thoughtfully converted building right in the heart of Old Town. The entrance feels residential, which I actually love because it means you’re staying where locals might actually live, not in some tourist bubble. It’s a three-star property, but honestly, the location alone makes it feel like you’re getting away with something special.
The Apartment Experience
Each apartment here feels like borrowing a friend’s place rather than checking into a hotel room. The spaces are well-designed with a proper kitchen setup — and I mean actually functional, not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation. You can tell someone put thought into the layout because everything you need is within reach. The furnishings strike that sweet spot between modern comfort and local character, offering genuine comfort at this price point. The attention to detail in these spaces really shows, from the thoughtful lighting to the carefully chosen artwork that reflects Kraków’s cultural heritage.
Location Magic
Here’s what makes this place special — you’re literally steps from everything that matters in Old Town, but tucked away on a quieter street that doesn’t get the full tourist chaos. You can walk to the Main Market Square in about three minutes, but you won’t have drunk groups stumbling past your window at 2 AM. The building sits perfectly positioned for exploring on foot, and honestly, that’s how you want to experience Kraków anyway. You can duck back to your place easily if you need a break from sightseeing. The surrounding cobblestone streets lead to hidden courtyards and charming cafes that most visitors never discover.
Practical Comforts
The Homeprime management actually seems to understand what travelers need. There’s reliable WiFi (tested it extensively while working), decent water pressure, and the heating works properly — small things that can make or break a stay. The parking situation requires some planning since you’re in the historic center, but they’ll give you the rundown on nearby options. Storage space is adequate, though if you’re the type who brings three suitcases for a weekend, you might feel a bit cramped. The building maintains its historic charm while incorporating modern conveniences seamlessly.
Why Guests Love It
Couples consistently rate this place highly, and I get why — there’s something special about having your own little corner of Old Town to retreat to after exploring the city. The restaurant scene is incredible within a two-block radius, from traditional Polish spots to trendy wine bars. You’re not paying for fancy amenities you won’t use; instead, you’re investing in location and independence. The 7.6 rating feels about right — it’s not perfect, but it delivers exactly what it promises: a comfortable base in an unbeatable location where you can live like a temporary local rather than just another tourist passing through. Many guests return specifically because they’ve found their perfect Kraków hideaway.

Franciszek from United Kingdom (8/10)
Great location,
Less than a 10 min walk to old squareKokkinidou 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.
