Urban Nest Apartments Starowiślna 95 Overview
So here’s the thing about Urban Nest Apartments on Starowiślna – it’s one of those places that grows on you, you know? I’ll be honest, when I first walked up to number 95, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star spot. But honestly, sometimes these unassuming places end up being exactly what you need.
The location is actually pretty clever if you think about it. Starowiślna isn’t one of those streets tourists automatically know, but it runs parallel to the main drag toward the Old Town, which means you’re close enough to walk everywhere but far enough to avoid the constant buzz of tour groups. I mean, you can literally be at the Main Square in maybe ten minutes on foot, but when you come back in the evening, it’s considerably quieter. The building itself has that Eastern European apartment block vibe – not Instagram-pretty, but solid and unpretentious. What I really appreciated was how they’ve converted these spaces into proper apartments rather than just sticking beds in rooms and calling it good. You get an actual kitchen (with a decent-sized fridge, thank god), and the living areas feel like someone actually lives there, not like a hotel showroom.
The 7.6 rating makes sense to me – it’s not going to blow your mind, but there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with it either. The Wi-Fi works well enough for video calls, the hot water is reliable, and honestly, the beds are more comfortable than I expected. One thing that surprised me was how thick the walls are in these old buildings; I barely heard my neighbors, which is saying something since I’m usually pretty sensitive to noise. Check-in was straightforward too, though I’d recommend confirming the exact process beforehand since it’s not a traditional hotel setup. The staff I dealt with spoke solid English and actually seemed to care about helping rather than just going through the motions. What really sold me on the place was the little details – proper blackout curtains (seriously underrated when you’re dealing with jet lag), decent water pressure in the shower, and enough electrical outlets that you’re not constantly unplugging things to charge your phone. It’s not luxury by any stretch, but it’s thoughtfully done. If you’re the type who values having your own space to spread out over fancy amenities you’ll barely use, this could be exactly what you’re looking for. Plus, being in an actual neighborhood means you’ll stumble across local cafes and shops that aren’t specifically targeting tourists, which honestly makes the whole experience feel more authentic.
The luxury concierge service in Krakow offers personalized access to private royal collections, traditional Polish dining, and VIP cultural experiences in this historic Polish jewel.

Laura from Spain (7/10)
Cumplía con lo que prometía a nivel de instalaciones. Es cierto que es un 5o sin ascensor, pero ya lo sabíamos de antemano. Está bien por lo que se paga.
