Choose the Loft for families or groups of three to five; it is bright, spacious, quiet, and sleeps four comfortably, but requires several flights of stairs.
What guests mention
Guests’ comments chiefly point to the townhouse’s outstanding Old Town location, with the Market Square close enough to make sightseeing and dining very easy. The Boudoir Apartment is also mentioned by name, suggesting that the property’s individual rooms have their own character. Practical references to luggage are worth noting, particularly for travellers arriving with heavy bags. There is limited guest detail available about facilities, service or room comfort, so expectations are best centred on the historic setting and convenience.

About Orlowska Townhouse
Orlowska Townhouse is a small, characterful stay set inside a 17th-century Krakow townhouse, where antique furnishings and Persian carpets give the interiors a distinctly old-world feel. It is less about sleek contemporary design than atmosphere: the kind of place for travellers who enjoy historic details and a sense of place rather than a standardised hotel look.
The address is the real advantage. Set in Krakow’s Old Town, the townhouse is only a very short stroll from the Market Square, putting cafés, restaurants, churches and the city’s most recognisable sights close at hand. Its central setting makes it especially handy for short breaks, business visitors and anyone keen to explore on foot. Guests should bear in mind that historic properties can involve practical considerations such as managing luggage.
Visitors repeatedly highlight the exceptionally central position, and the Boudoir Apartment is one of the accommodation details that comes up in guest mentions. The appeal is straightforward: a memorable historic base with Krakow’s main square almost on the doorstep, rather than an anonymous modern hotel experience.
