The Angels Apartments Krakow Old Town

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about The Angels Apartments? Walking up to that heavy wooden door on Szewska Street, I honestly expected another cramped tourist trap – but step inside and it’s like someone’s stylish aunt renovated a 14th-century townhouse with actual taste. The lobby has this warm, lived-in elegance that immediately tells you someone cares about this place, not just the profit margins.

The location is pretty much perfect if you want to be in the thick of Old Town without the Main Square chaos. Szewska runs parallel to the main tourist drag, so you’re literally a two-minute walk from all the action – Cloth Hall, St. Mary’s Basilica, those little amber shops that somehow multiply overnight – but you actually get some peace when you want it. I mean, you’ll still hear the occasional late-night reveler stumbling home, but it’s nothing like staying right on the square where those horse carriages clip-clop past your window at 6 AM. The apartments themselves feel more like someone’s really nice city flat than a hotel room. Mine had these gorgeous original wooden beams (carefully restored, not that fake rustic stuff), decent kitchen facilities that actually work, and – this matters more than you’d think – proper blackout curtains. The WiFi was solid, which saved me when I needed to work a few mornings, and there’s something refreshing about having space to spread out your stuff instead of living out of a suitcase for a week.

What really impressed me was how the staff seemed to know Krakow inside and out. The guy at reception didn’t just hand me a generic city map – he actually marked his favorite pierogi spot on Grodzka Street (absolutely worth it, by the way) and warned me about the Saturday morning flower market crowds. That’s the kind of local insight you don’t get at the big chain places. Honestly, for the price point and that 8.9 rating, I was expecting some corner-cutting somewhere, but even little details like the bathroom fixtures and bed linens felt thoughtfully chosen. Sure, the building’s old so you’ll hear footsteps from upstairs sometimes, and the elevator is one of those tiny European ones that fits maybe two people and a backpack – but that’s part of the charm, really. If you want sterile efficiency, book the Hilton. If you want to feel like you’re actually staying in Krakow’s Old Town, not just some international hotel bubble that happens to be located there, The Angels gets it right.

  The apartment was really clean and everything in it was new like no one before has used anything. I highly recommend this apartment also because the great location is just a few minutes from the Rynek główny old town.
