Old Town Apartments Krakow
Self-catering flats scattered through the Old Town for travellers who want their own kitchen.
Reviewed and updated July 2026
Old Town Apartments Krakow are self-catering flats spread through the Old Town, aimed at travellers who want their own kitchen rather than a hotel. Because the flats are in different buildings across the centre, the exact street and layout depend on which one you book. The common thread is a central location and the freedom to cook and come and go on your own schedule.
Inside the self-catering flats
These are apartments rather than hotel rooms, so a kitchen and more space are the point. The trade-off is that service is lighter than a hotel and each flat differs. For the layout, exact address, rates and check-in arrangements of a given apartment, check the provider's official channels directly rather than any figure quoted elsewhere.
Spread across the Old Town
The flats sit within the Old Town, so most bookings put you a short walk from the Main Market Square and the main sights. Confirm the specific street when you book, as being deeper in the centre means less street noise but a longer haul with luggage over cobbles. For trams, the airport train and day trips, see the Krakow guide.
Who suits a self-catering stay
This suits families, groups and longer stays who want a kitchen, more room and a central address. Anyone who prefers self-catering to eating out for every meal will get value from it. Travellers who want a front desk, daily housekeeping and hotel service should book a hotel instead.
The Old Town on your doorstep
An Old Town address puts the main sights within walking distance:
- Main Market Square and the Cloth Hall, at the centre of the Old Town.
- Wawel Castle and the cathedral, at the southern edge.
- The Planty, the parkland ring around the historic core.
The name covers serviced flats at more than one address inside the Old Town, so "which building" genuinely changes the stay. One listing sits on Sławkowska Street, a quiet run between the Main Square and the Planty ring, which gives a sense of how central the stock is even when the exact flat varies.
Across the listings the format is consistent: studio and one-bedroom flats with a fully equipped kitchen and free WiFi, with housekeeping typically weekly rather than daily. That is the practical trade for the extra space and self-catering. For the specific flat, its floor, whether there is a lift and current rates, confirm directly with the operator or your booking platform when you reserve.
Good to know
Check-in for apartments is often by arrangement rather than a 24-hour desk, so confirm how you collect keys and the exact address before you arrive. Verify the flat's layout, rates and any cleaning fees with the provider directly.
