Tyzenhauz Apartments Podwale street Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Tyzenhauz Apartments Podwale street, you immediately get that feeling — you know, the one where you realize you’ve picked the right place. The building sits right on Podwale, which is one of those streets that wraps along the old city walls of Krakow, and honestly, the setting alone is worth it. It’s the kind of spot that makes you want to slow down before you’ve even checked in.

Location & Neighborhood

I mean, a location score of 9.9 out of 10 doesn’t happen by accident. You’re in the actual Old Town here — not “close to” it, not “a short tram ride from” it. The Main Market Square is a few minutes on foot, Wawel Castle is well within walking distance, and all those little side streets full of milk bars, coffee shops, and bookstores are basically your backyard. Couples especially seem to fall for this place, and it’s easy to see why — there’s something genuinely romantic about stepping out your door into medieval Krakow every morning.

The Apartments

These are proper apartments, not just hotel rooms with a kitchenette squeezed in. There’s real space here — room to spread out, unpack properly, and actually feel like you’re living in the city rather than just passing through. The four-star standard shows in the details: thoughtful furnishings, good beds, the kind of quiet that’s surprisingly hard to find this close to the center. It’s the sort of place where you might find yourself skipping a dinner reservation just to stay in and enjoy the atmosphere.

The Experience Day to Day

What I appreciated most was how easy everything felt. Grabbing a morning coffee nearby, wandering out to explore without any real plan — it all just works when you’re staying here. The staff, from what guests consistently say, are genuinely helpful rather than just professionally polite, which makes a difference. And because you’ve got apartment-style accommodation, you’re not locked into hotel schedules or dining room hours, which gives the whole stay a more relaxed rhythm.

Why Guests Love It

A rating of 9.2 tells you something real — this isn’t a place coasting on its location alone. Guests come back because the combination of being right in the heart of Krakow, having proper living space, and feeling well looked after is actually pretty rare at this price point. For couples especially, it hits a sweet spot: intimate enough to feel special, central enough that you can do everything without effort, and comfortable enough that you genuinely don’t want to leave. If you’re planning a trip to Krakow and you want to feel like you actually belong there rather than just visiting, this is the kind of place that makes that happen.

The concierge service in Krakow can arrange exclusive castle tours, secure classical concert tickets, and organize visits to nearby Wieliczka Salt Mine and Auschwitz Memorial.

  Absolutely amazing apartment. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable to stay. Perfect location, very close to Old Market. You also have a little shop, caffe and nice restaurant just beside apartment. You couldn't wish for more. We would love to stay longer than two nights.

• Lixurious stay in Krakow, close to Renek – Marie from Australia – June 12, 2025 (10/10)

  Everything was as described, photos accurate. Honestly amazing. What made me pick this was wanting a bit of luxury on Krakow and also get I wanted to be close to Stoccagio for wines & Charlotte for breakfast
  
  2 bedrooms but a sofa bed in the living room too making it almost 3 bedrooms.
  
  What could be improved: No lift… with a 6 months old and a toddler, brutal 🤣 very old building so the levels are almost double ones. Thank god my in laws came to help us 👌

• Outstanding location and a beautiful period property. I will certainly be coming back – Francesca from United Kingdom – May 20, 2025 (10/10)

  It’s a stunning apartment. Beautifully decorated. Felt right at home as soon as we walked in.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing. Everything was fabulous

• Stunning start to finish – Eilisha from United Kingdom – March 26, 2025 (10/10)

  It was amazing! Apartment was stunning, great area, shop attached to the building, trams close, right on the square, just everything was great. One downside I would give it is that the stairs are a real struggle with someone with asthma but I knew that before I booked it so on my head so be it haha thanks for a great holiday!

• Wonderful apartment and a perfect location. Trams, restaurants and the old square are all close by. – Steven from Australia – January 10, 2025 (10/10)

  A fabulous apartment all around!
  Very large with plenty of space. Great views from the living room and one bedroom over the planty park including St Anne’s Church and the Mariacki Church behind it in the old square.
  Two separate bedrooms with large double beds. The beds were unusually comfortable! I want one for my home.
  Large bathroom, good shower, bath, toilet and two hand basins with two mirrors.
  Separate toilet with another hand basin.
  Great kitchen with clothes washing machine, dishwasher and Nespresso machine. The dining room extends from the kitchen to the small balcony.
  The large living room is delightful – lounge chairs, expansive view, plenty of books, candles, art and a piano!
  
  What could be improved: Nothing. It was all great.
  Can’t even complain about 90 stairs up to the apartment.

• Great apartment in a great location – Damian from Australia – December 29, 2024 (9/10)

  Great location, well maintained and renovated property. Images in the posting are true to reality.
  
  What could be improved: As it is on the top floor, 78 steps to the front door every time you arrive. It can be a challenge with multiple travellers and heavy suitcases.

• Grand Apartment – Sabreena from United Kingdom – November 17, 2024 (10/10)

  Huge apartment, decorated to a high level, such a beautiful and comfortable stay, had everything we could need and a little shop next door for anything else. Fantastic location. Such a short walk to the old square.
  
  What could be improved: A second set of keys would have been useful. Please note this is up three flights of stairs with no alternative and were strenuous so may not be suitable for anyone with health conditions that may struggle with this.

• Wonderful – Matt from New Zealand – October 9, 2024 (9/10)

  Beautiful apartment, comfortable beds, perfect location.
  
  What could be improved: Would've preferred two sets of keys.

• Overall a very good stay – Sandra from Australia – April 7, 2024 (9/10)

  1) cosy, warm and spacious not lacking in any amenities for guests
  2) centrally located to the old town
  
  What could be improved: 1) 3 flights of stairs to the apartment with no lift which makes it difficult with luggage. Need to mention this on their website to prepare guests
  2) a little flexibility to extend beyond check out time by an hour or so would have been appreciated for a later flight
