Wawel Apartments – Old Town

Wawel Apartments – Old Town Overview

First Impressions

Wawel Apartments – Old Town sits on Dietla Street, which is one of those wide, tree-lined boulevards that feels like it belongs in a different era. The moment you step outside, you’re already in the thick of Kraków’s Old Town — not a ten-minute walk away, not “close to,” but actually in it. For a three-star property, it punches well above its weight in terms of where it places you on the map.

Location & Neighborhood

Honestly, the location here is the real story. The Wawel Castle is practically around the corner, the Main Market Square is a short stroll, and Kazimierz — Kraków’s old Jewish quarter with its cafés and galleries — is just as reachable on foot. Couples especially seem to love it here, and I get why — there’s something genuinely romantic about being this close to the heart of the city without fighting through tourist crowds to get back to your room. The location score of 9.0 isn’t just a number; you feel it the second you step outside.

The Apartments

These are apartments, not standard hotel rooms, which makes a real difference if you’re staying more than a night or two. You get actual space to breathe — a kitchen or kitchenette, room to spread out, that sort of thing. It’s the kind of setup that works well for couples or anyone who doesn’t want to feel like they’re living out of a suitcase. The three-star rating is fair and honest — don’t expect a spa or a concierge, but do expect a clean, comfortable base that gives you independence.

Breakfast

The breakfast options here are genuinely more varied than you’d expect from a place at this price point. There’s a continental spread, but also Italian-style options, vegetarian and vegan choices, and even gluten-free — which, if you travel with dietary needs, you know is not always a given. There’s also a breakfast-to-go option, which is quietly brilliant if you’re planning an early morning at the castle before the crowds arrive. It’s not a lavish hotel buffet, but it covers the bases well and then some.

Why Guests Love It

Private parking is available, which in Old Town Kraków is actually a bigger deal than it sounds — street parking in this area is a headache, so having that sorted removes a genuine stress. The overall guest rating sits at 8.5, and I think that reflects a place that knows what it is and delivers on it consistently. You’re not here for room service or a rooftop bar — you’re here because you want to wake up in one of Central Europe’s most beautiful cities and walk out the door straight into it. Wawel Apartments – Old Town gets that balance right, and for most travelers, that’s exactly enough.

Reviews of Wawel Apartments – Old Town

• Bolesław from Poland (9/10)

  The apartment was clean, spacious with a very well equipped kitchen. The bathroom was exceptionally clean. The best part were the beds, they were really comfortable, even the sofa bed. Great location too.

• Sandra from Ireland (9/10)

  Apartment was perfect, great location. 3 flights of stairs for this apartment but it was fine. Bright and clean

• Lee from United Kingdom (8/10)

  Good location, 5 minutes walk from Grzegorzki train station (direct link to the airport), and tram stops. Within walking distance of the old town or Jewish quarter.
  The apartment was very spacious with two separate bedrooms, both with tv's, although only one English channel (news) and couldn't access Netflix.
  The apartment was on the 4th floor with no lift, so could be difficult if you have issues climbing stairs.
  Overall, the accommodation was very good and competitively priced. I would definitely choose this accommodation again when visiting Krakow.

• Keavy from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Location was brilliant, a short walk to the main square and public transport on the doorstep. The best location for being accessible to everything but nice and quiet at night.
  Staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay and great communication regarding the booking prior to our stay with really quick responses.
  The room was spacious, clean and well equipped, certainly had everything we needed for our stay.
  On one occasion our water was cold however within minutes of calling reception, a lovely gentleman came to our apartment to sort this out for us. He adjusted the water temperature and explained all about the water system they use. He was friendly, efficient and apologetic, we couldn't fault the accommodations response to this issue.
  The underfloor heating was a lovely touch, we did find the room to be very warm at times however we were provided with a modern fan for this which was great.
  Highly reccomend this accomodation!

• Denis from Sweden (9/10)

  All good, corresponding to what is described. Very helpful staff.

• Evie from United Kingdom (9/10)

  I had the pleasure of staying in this wonderful apartment, and I couldn't have been more impressed! It was exactly as described. The location was perfect, just a short walk from all the key attractions in the area, making it super convenient for exploring.
  
  The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, ensuring everything was just right during our stay. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
  
  I highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting the area. It truly felt like a home away from home!

• Janice from Spain (7/10)

  Clean, comfortable, convenient for everywhere

• Denise from United Kingdom (9/10)

  The apartment was amazing., We knew when we booked that our apartment wasn't directly beside reception. We arrived early and were allowed to put our bags in a room while we went out sightseeing and they texted us when apartment was ready. It was a short walk across road from reception to our apartment.
  There was a door key for security and up on 3rd floor we found our spacious 2 bedroom apartment.
  
  We could not fault one thing about the apartment it had everything we needed rooms were spacious living space and kitchen were spacious and had everything we required.
  
  This apartment was ideally located a 10 minute walk to main square and 10 minute walk to wawel castle. Nothing what so ever to complain about.
  
  I would defo stay here again and have already recommended to a few people looking at booking trips to Krakow.
