What guests mention

bedside cabinet great apartment no lift top floor bars and restaurants fantastic location air con old town the main square pillows facilities reception

Guests consistently rate the central Old Town position as the major advantage: the Main Square, restaurants and bars are all close at hand. Apartments are generally seen as comfortable, useful and well supplied, with air conditioning, showers and helpful reception among the positives. The same location can be noisy, particularly for light sleepers, and top-floor rooms involve stairs because there is no elevator. A few guests also felt smaller details, including pillow comfort, could be improved.

About Apartments 17 Szewska

Apartments 17 Szewska is a straightforward city-centre base with the feel of a private Kraków flat rather than a conventional hotel. The emphasis is on independent stays: guests mention well-equipped apartments, air conditioning and showers, with practical details such as bedside tables making the spaces feel set up for more than just a quick overnight stop. It is a good fit for travellers who value being in the middle of the action and do not need a full-service property.

The address puts you in Kraków’s Old Town, close to the Main Square and surrounded by places to eat and drink. That makes it especially convenient for first-time visitors, weekend breaks and anyone planning to explore largely on foot. The central setting does come with trade-offs: nightlife and street activity can bring noise, and upper-floor apartments require climbing stairs, as there is no lift. Guests with heavy luggage or limited mobility should bear that in mind.

Guest feedback is strongest on the location, which many consider the standout feature, and on the comfort and usefulness of the apartments themselves. Reception and in-room facilities are also noted positively. The most frequent cautions concern stair access, occasional noise from the lively surroundings, and a few comfort details such as pillows. In short, it is a practical, central choice for guests happy to swap hotel quiet for Old Town convenience.
