Request a rear room to avoid tram and street noise, especially if you are a light sleeper; rear rooms may have limited views.
What guests mention
Guests value this aparthotel chiefly for putting Krakow’s Old Town and Main Square within easy walking distance, with a nearby shop and station adding convenience. Rooms are often described as clean and roomy, and independent travellers like the smooth self-check-in, useful fridge, Wi-Fi and occasional thoughtful extras such as pillows. It is seen as good value, but not a full-service hotel: décor can feel tired, upkeep is sometimes uneven, cleaning is limited, and noise travels through the walls. Some also report unexpected charges.

About Aparthotel Pergamin
Aparthotel Pergamin is a straightforward Old Town base with more character than a standard budget stay. Set in a historic building, its apartments combine retained period touches with practical modern furniture, creating a lived-in, city-centre feel rather than a polished hotel atmosphere. Sleeping options range from doubles to sofa beds and singles, making it a useful choice for couples, friends and small groups.
You are right in Krakow’s Old Town, within a short walk of the Main Square, landmark-lined streets, markets and museums; the train station is also conveniently close. A shop next door is handy for supplies, while in-room fridges, tea and coffee, Wi-Fi and air conditioning add useful comforts for a city break. The self-check-in arrangement suits independent travellers, though this is best approached as an apartment stay with limited hotel-style services.
Guests regularly single out the excellent central setting, clean rooms, generous space and easy arrival process, with some saying they would happily return. Extra pillows and luggage storage are appreciated details. On the other hand, the older furnishings and occasional maintenance niggles can show their age, and thin walls mean light sleepers may want earplugs. Housekeeping is not especially frequent, so the value is strongest for travellers happy with a simple, well-placed base.
