Request a ground- or first-floor room if you dislike stairs, have limited mobility, or are carrying luggage; there is no lift.
What guests mention
Guests tend to like Leone Aparthotel most for its walkable position between the Old Town and Kazimierz, with the main sights close enough for an easy city break. Friendly reception staff and generally tidy rooms earn frequent praise, and some appreciate the spacious, high-ceilinged accommodation. The trade-off is a fairly basic, dated property: maintenance can be uneven, housekeeping is not automatic, and breakfast is provided elsewhere. The lack of a lift is a recurring drawback for higher-floor rooms, while the surrounding street does not impress everyone.

About Leone Aparthotel
Leone Aparthotel is a simple, characterful base for a Krakow city break, with the slightly old-fashioned feel of a budget guesthouse rather than a polished modern hotel. Expect high ceilings, generously sized rooms in some categories and useful in-room basics such as a mini fridge, desk and tea and coffee facilities. It is an unfussy choice for travellers who plan to spend most of the day out exploring.
The setting is its real strength: on a side street within easy walking distance of the Old Town, Main Market Square, Planty Park, Wawel Royal Castle and Kazimierz, the former Jewish quarter. That makes it particularly handy for couples, families and independent visitors keen to explore Krakow on foot. There is a 24-hour reception, free Wi-Fi and paid private parking nearby; breakfast is available, though it is served away from the property. Be aware that there is no lift, so upper-floor rooms may not suit guests with limited mobility or heavy luggage.
Guests regularly single out the convenient location and welcoming reception team, and many feel it offers fair value for a short stay. Cleanliness is often appreciated, although some visitors report worn furnishings, patchy upkeep and occasional service inconsistencies. It works best for practical travellers who value the address over extensive amenities.
