XXL Apartment Old Town 24 h – check in, Wi-Fi

XXL Apartment Old Town 24 h – check in, Wi-Fi Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to XXL Apartment Old Town 24 h – check in, Wi-Fi feels a bit like discovering a hidden gem tucked away on Podzamcze street. The building itself has that classic Krakow charm — you know, the kind where centuries-old architecture meets modern convenience. What immediately struck me was how quiet this little corner is, despite being literally in the heart of everything. The 24-hour check-in system is honestly a lifesaver if you’re arriving on those late flights or odd train schedules that seem to plague European travel.

Location Magic

Here’s the thing about this four-star property — the location score of 9.4 isn’t just marketing fluff. I mean, you’re basically a three-minute walk from the Main Market Square, but somehow you’ve escaped all the tourist chaos. Couples seem to get this immediately (they rate it 9.2, which makes total sense), because there’s something romantic about being able to slip away from the crowds but still have everything at your fingertips. The Cloth Hall, St. Mary’s Basilica, even Wawel Castle — they’re all right there, but you’re tucked away enough to actually get some sleep at night.

The Apartment Experience

The space itself feels more like borrowing a friend’s well-appointed city apartment than staying in a typical hotel room. There’s actual room to spread out, which is refreshing after all those cramped European hotel experiences. The Wi-Fi works properly — and I say this as someone who’s dealt with plenty of Polish internet that promises the world and delivers dial-up speeds. You’ve got a proper kitchen setup too, which is perfect for grabbing fresh bread and local cheese from the nearby market halls instead of paying hotel breakfast prices every morning.

Neighborhood Insights

What I really love about this spot is how it puts you right in the middle of authentic Krakow life. Sure, you’re close to all the must-see tourist spots, but you’re also surrounded by the kind of local cafes and small shops that locals actually use. There’s this fantastic pierogi place just around the corner that most tourists never find, and the morning walk to grab coffee takes you past some genuinely beautiful courtyards that don’t make it into guidebooks. The Old Town here isn’t just a museum — people actually live and work in this neighborhood.

Why Guests Love It

Honestly, this place works because it strikes that perfect balance between convenience and authenticity that’s surprisingly hard to find in Krakow’s Old Town. You’re not paying premium prices for a sterile hotel experience, but you’re also not sacrificing comfort or location. The flexibility of having your own space, combined with being able to walk everywhere that matters, makes it feel like you’re actually living in Krakow rather than just visiting. Plus, that 24-hour check-in means you can arrive whenever your travel plans demand without worrying about reception desk hours — which, trust me, becomes incredibly valuable when you’re dealing with European train delays or budget airline schedules.

  What could be improved: Outside area was not very nice, dead pigeon in the bin area, and a lot of pigeon mess. It was very warm in the apartment at night and one of the fans didn’t work but we couldn’t open the window as the blind kept falling down. We

  Nice apartment, lots of stuff: TV with netflix, nice shower, lots of kitchen stuff. Really nice location near the centre.
  
  What could be improved: Bit tight for 10 people, but not that bad, I'd say it's a large apartment not XXL apartment.

• Very Good – Matt from United Kingdom – October 20, 2023 (8/10)

  Location and it’s a good spot for a group of friends.

• Very, very happy with our stay – would book again. – Ohiggins from Ireland – August 9, 2023 (8/10)

  The bedrooms were perfect – spacious, clean and plentiful. The common area held us all comfortably and there was a massive platform tv. Fantastic value for money. The location was incredible. Very good size fridge.
  
  What could be improved: The property said it could hold 12, but it is more intentioned for 10. The two extra beds are literal couches which are comfy, however as they are in the common area they are subjected to noise. There were two bathrooms and only one shower which was difficult for 12. The kitchen consisted of two hot plates and the sink, but it did it’s job. On our day of arrival, we were greeted by a friend of Mr Sebastian which unnerved us but in the end it proved fine.

• Place under Wawel – Jerzy from Poland – June 30, 2023 (7/10)

  Very good location. Clean bathroom. Many facilities.
  
  What could be improved: Old building and furniture. Not the best cleaning in the rooms

• Great little spot! – Lewis from United Kingdom – April 18, 2023 (8/10)

  The location was fantastic. Very close to everything. Like the perfect middle of the old town and kazi.
  
  What could be improved: Not any real issues. The only complaint was the stairs to the bed. Very steep. Not ideal if you need to pee in the middle of the night. Or coming back after a few beers. But I wouldn't say it ruined anything.
