Apartments ROMAN, Krakow

Apartments ROMAN pairs the character of old Kraków with the freedom of an apartment stay. Set in the 14th-century Kamienica Niderlandowska, the property has a handsome historic setting, including a classical façade and early-Baroque entrance, while the individual apartments are furnished in their own distinct styles. Choices range from compact studios to two-bedroom layouts and generous apartments of up to 100 square metres, with the practical comforts needed to settle in rather than simply pass through.

The address is the real draw: at the corner of Gołębia and Bracka, in Kraków’s Old Town, and roughly 100 metres from the Cloth Hall and Main Square. It is an easy base for couples on a city break, families needing room to spread out, friends travelling together, or business visitors who prefer space and independence over a conventional hotel. Expect kitchens or kitchen facilities with useful touches such as a kettle and coffee machine, plus the restaurants, sights and taxis of the centre close at hand.

Guests especially appreciate the central, walk-everywhere location, roomy interiors and comfortable beds, often describing their stay warmly. The historic building does come with a trade-off: there is no lift, so upper-floor apartments, including those on the third floor, may not suit guests with heavy luggage or limited mobility. Being so close to the action can also mean some street noise, particularly for light sleepers.
