Room is very small compared to pictures. Bed mattress was very thin and uncomfortable. Bathroom had long black hair all over walls and inside shower. Street parking is impossible to find and directions to paid parking are unclear.

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.

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.

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.

Nice, clean apartment, perfect location for sightseeing, but needs few upgrades - door seems like anybody could kick them open - I was with my family, but if I traveled alone I’d be scared to fall asleep at night as it was more like hostel set up (multiple rooms within one flat with no staff member in the reception) and you never know who are your neighbors. There were security cameras however. Could use a new floor and chairs, maybe some shelves in the kitchen. Bathroom was new, well lit, and comfy. Parking was ok - parking apps for Krakow made it more convenient. We had an University view which we loved, but if you like your windows open at night it gets noisy due to trams and passing cars. Quiet with closed windows however as they are good quality. Definitely would stay again.

Nice room in good location with modern bathroom. However, we had no aircon remote control and therefore no aircon. There is no fridge in the room. And they claim to have “24/7 front desk support” but this is all AI. Everything has to be done by calling the hotel number and dealing with AI. Checking in? AI Problem? AI There is a desk only for show in the lobby as you would need to be 10cm thin to sit in the chair and no one is ever there.

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.

This property was not as advertised. It is not on the second floor, even by Polish counting. It is up a full 5 flights of stairs. Before the visit communication was bad. There is no staff regularly on site. The air conditioning was one small unit in the bedroom (we had two rooms), and it emitted a very loud, high pitched noise the entire time it was on. The outside of the building is completely run down and it’s hard to find the front door—there’s no sign. Overall, not great.

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

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!

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.

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.

Bra läge

Ett fantastiskt lägenhetshotell med lugn och skön atmosfär i närheten av gamla stan. Trivsam lägenhet med en bäddsoffa och en dubbelsäng. Väl utrustad för egen matlagning och frukost. Lämpar sig kanske mest väl för par eller familj med barn. Toadörr som knappt gick att stänga samt ganska smala sängar för två kompisar. Har du problem att gå i trappor är inte det här boendet för dig då det ligger 5 trappor upp. Fick betala 50 PLN för sminkrester på handduk (aldrig varit med om tidigare). Har pratat med hotellet om upplevelsen och vi har lite olika syn på huruvida det är skäligt eller inte. Jag kan tycka det är småaktigt. Över lag nöjda med lägenhetshotellet.

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!

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.

Boa

Quarto confortável e espaçoso. Café cortesia e o hotel disponibiliza uma Cozinha compartilhada completa aos Hóspedes. O hotel não possui elevador, o que eventualmente pode ser um problema a quem tem pouca mobilidade. Bem localizado com fácil acesso ao centro velho e demais pontos turísticos da cidade.
