Categories

Cleanliness
1
Consistently praised across reviews: 'so clean', 'spotlessly clean', 'rent og fin', 'chambre était propre' — apartment interiors are regularly described as very clean and well maintained.
Service
1
Generally positive mentions of staff friendliness/helpfulness, easy check-in and prompt response to issues (even late at night). One minor complaint about an early check-in charge.
Location
1
Repeatedly emphasised as excellent — walking distance to old town, transports and local amenities; many reviews call the position 'perfect' or 'fantastic'.
Room Quality
1
Rooms described as modern, comfortable beds and well finished with standout features (hot tub in one room). Some negatives: a few guests found rooms small for four and the building access areas contrast with renovated apartments.
Amenities
1
Mixed-to-negative comments on amenities: advertised kitchenette lacking expected items (no microwave), missing small kitchen utensils (spatula), no elevator (multiple flights of stairs), and entrance/hallway lighting/issues — these recurring practical shortcomings lowered amenity scores.
Value for Money
1
Some guests felt value was reduced by extra charges (early check-in) and by cramped conditions for larger groups (room slightly small for 4), which detracted from perceived value despite good location and cleanliness.
Food and Beverage
1
Not discussed in the reviews; no specific mentions of food or beverage services.
Overall Experience
1
While many guests praised location, cleanliness and room comfort, significant recurring issues (shabby/dirty entrance and stairwell, dark/unsecured access at night, no elevator for heavy luggage, missing kitchenette items) negatively affected the overall stay for several reviewers.

Nice enough, comfortable enough, clean enough for short stays.
Pros:

This was an ok basic place for a short stay if you are out all day. Comfortable enough, crisp sheets, walking distance to old town. Friendly host.

Cons:

A little small and darkish, more like a hotel room with a small fridge than an apartment. Not ideal for hanging out in.

Pros:

Mi è piaciuta moltissimo la posizione in Cracovia, la pulizia è l'arredamento della stanza

Cons:

La struttura superiore che ospitava i letti era a soppalco con una scala ardita. Mi sarebbe piaciuto uno specchio in più per permettere a chi voleva di sistemarsi quando il bagno era occupato.

Loved krakow and the apartments location
Pros:

The apartment was wonderful and amenities were brilliant, the best part was the location.

Cons:

The shower had no mat and was very slippery my 80 year old mum slipped??? And cut her arms 😡😡
I also feel there should have been a welcome book of things to do etc.
there also could have been more towels

Not recommended.
Cons:

First of all, there was a dirty towel left on the bathroom floor from the previous guests and a used soda can. We were asked to pay 300zl for a broken glass (the table glass) which we aren’t sure that we did this damage. How is it possible the cleaning staff to see the broken glass, but not the dirty towel and the soda can??

Secondly, the check in was at 4:00pm. We asked for an early check in. We were waiting for an update about the availability of the early check in, but we had no answer.
The access codes were supposed to be sent to us at 3:45 the latest. We have not received the codes until 4:30, so we needed to call the property in order to ask them to give us the codes. This was unacceptable and caused extra stress and tiredness.
Unfortunately I don’t have photos to upload.

Pros:

Os quartos são muito novos e limpos. A localização também é excelente, bem próxima aos principais pontos turísticos.

Cons:

As áreas comuns e entrada do prédio eram bem velhas, isso dá um aspecto esquisito quando você chega ao local.
