What guests mention

spa bath the main square superior studio great location exposed brick old town stare miasto kitchen area hear everything high ceilings comfy bed lovely room

Guests are especially fond of the central Old Town setting, with the Main Square, Wawel and plenty of dining close at hand. Rooms are often described as spacious and appealing, thanks to high ceilings, brick details, comfortable beds and useful kitchen facilities; larger studios and soaking tubs receive particular appreciation. The main recurring downside is noise: the lively location and limited sound insulation can mean hearing neighbours or street activity. It suits travellers who prioritise character and convenience over absolute quiet.

About Aparthotel Stare Miasto

Aparthotel Stare Miasto brings a contemporary apartment feel to a historic Krakow building, pairing brick-toned interiors and timber details with tall-ceilinged rooms and modern conveniences. It feels more like having a well-designed city base than checking into a conventional hotel, with roomy layouts, LCD TVs and kitchenettes equipped for simple breakfasts or late-night tea. The on-site restaurant and bar add a useful option when you would rather stay close to home.

The address is firmly in Krakow’s Old Town, putting the Main Square, cafés and restaurants within easy strolling distance; Wawel Castle is about half a mile away. Kraków Główny station and Galeria Krakowska are roughly a mile from the property, while the Jewish Quarter and popular excursions such as the salt mines are straightforward additions to a city break. It is particularly handy for couples, friends or independent travellers who value centrality and the flexibility of an apartment, including a fridge, hob and laundry facilities.

Guests regularly highlight the location, attractive exposed-brick character, comfortable beds and generous studios. Some enjoy upgraded rooms with deep soaking tubs, while the well-equipped kitchen area is another frequent practical plus. The trade-off of such a central Old Town setting is that sound can travel: lighter sleepers may notice noise from nearby streets or within the building, so it is worth considering when choosing a room.
