Great place to stay in Cracow

Lovely apartment with 2 bedrooms. There is no table in the kitchen area but we did not really need one - each room has a desk. The tram passes by and you can hear it from the flat but that did not bother me at all. Super close to the city centre - loved the self-check in instructions.

Good option for a quick visit to the old town in Cracow. Too bad there isn’t any help with luggage or elevator as it’s pretty daunting to carry everything up several flights of stairs.

Great location, next to the old town. There are lots of restaurants, cafes, shops, pharmacies, etc. in the area as well as multiple tram and bus stops nearby. The place was clean and comfortable. There is no reception, so be prepared to have to call for the check-in/out instructions.

Generally great

A beautifully clean apartment and very comfortable. We could have done with a couple of extra pillows but didn’t see anyone to ask. Had everything we needed. However, the door to the bathroom didn’t open as far as it should as it stuck on the floor. The WiFi was only good in the morning and the socket beside the bed didn’t work! A great location, only a short walk to the Old Town.

Nice two room apartment

Good location, tram station just round the corner. Was a nice two room apartment with kitchen area. Few issues getting into building as was self-check-in and hotels.com caused issues with the lack of information on when to expect details. Only other issue was TV in bedroom was internet only and the WiFi didn’t reach that room a lot of the time.

Everything was lovely and clean, the shower pressure is amazing, it is conveniently located so close to Old Town with transport close by and we even had a balcony. You didn’t really see any staff but it was all safe. My only negatives would be 1. So many stairs, 2. The pillows are short instead of long but I don’t know if this is a polish thing, 3. If you are a light sleeper you can hear the trams going by outside throughout the night. My suggestion would be to get a table and chairs for the balcony but honestly it was a great stay and would definitely stay again!

If you are looking for hotel like accommodations, this is not the place for you. This was more like a flat/apartment. We did not see the reception personnel once. We tried calling using the phone they had in the “lobby” and it would not connect. We did not have any coffee pods for day 2 and fortunately we saw a housekeeper and were able to get some. The pillows were horrible. It had no elevator, which we knew would be the case, but it was a challenge getting our luggage up since we had to go up five flights of stairs. They mentioned there was a continental breakfast but we could not find it. Overall, we were disappointed and expected much more. Now, as far as location goes, this place was great. Very close to everything. We walked nearly everywhere.

Nice, once you can check in...

I arrived 5 minutes after the staffed check-in time of 5pm, but I don't think it'd matter, I didn't see anyone at their reception my entire stay. If you're unlucky enough to miss reception, like I was, you'll need to call to a local Krakow number to get instructions over the phone. I'm not sure how this would work if you don't speak either Polish or English. The street it is on has a fair bit of noise, their phone lines are terrible, and it is incredibly difficult to hear/understand their directions. All of the instructions given could have been provided via email ahead of arrival and reduced the stress of check-in by an order of magnitude. I would hate to attempt check in late in the evening. I saw another review complains about the floor boards and thought they might be exaggerating... Nope. Not only do you hear your every step but anyone in a nearby rooms, too. All of that said; it's a very convenient location, well priced, with nice facilities in the room (desk, air-conditioning, clothes racks, etc). There's near by cheap places to eat breakfast as well as all your usual tourist attractions.

bellissimo appartamento vicinissimo alla piazza del mercato di Cracovia. Riscaldamento e bagno eccellenti così come la pulizia della stanza. Da mettere in conto le scale da fare per raggiungere l'appartamento, non c'è ascensore visto che si tratta di un'antico palazzo ristrutturato. Qualità della stanza e posizione ripagano delle scale da fare, consigliatissimo!

Not bad but not great

Great location but what let it down was the paper thin walls between wall which doesn’t help when you have a disrespectful guest staying next to you who watches the TV at high volume until 01:00am. Another deal breaker was the tram noise/vibrations until around midnight

Disappointing

Our stay was very disappointing. It is very confusing getting into the building when you first arrive to check in. The hallway / stairs on the way up to the 3rd floor in which the apartments are on smells awful. We’ve had every day minus 1 where our door wouldn’t lock ( it was on an automated system not a normal door key) . This was worrying as we were out most of the days on planned trips. We had to call up the reception number every day to get them to fix it for us through an app on their phone. There were quite a few signs of wear in the apartment , however it was very modern and generally clean. The balcony is a nice touch however it is shared with 2 more apartments which you can walk across which is a little bit scary at night. All in all we enjoyed our stay in krakow because we love the city and it was close to the main square . However we will not be returning to these apartments. There are much nicer apartments close by and even next door which we have stayed in before.

Sentralt, men støyende og dårlig senger

Helt greit sted, men ikke forvent deg mer. Rent og pent, og veldig sentralt. Bad var pent og det var enkel standard. Det var 3 etg. med trapper opp og med 3 kofferter ble dette tungt. Det står ingen sted at det ikke er heis. Det er mye støyende trafikk fra trikk og buss som går i ring rundt gamlebyen. Aircondition trenger service da vifta bråker. Sengene er steinharde og hoftene verker etter en natt. Du kjenner fjærene og dette var ikke bra. Gulvet på soverommet har en parkett som knirker helt forferdelig. Deler du leiligheten med 2 rom så vekker du garantert de ved siden av.
