In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Central old-town location — Guests consistently praise the apartments' position near the main market square, with tram connections and tour starting points within easy reach. Many rooms look over the square itself.
  • High guest ratings — The property earns a 9.1 overall rating from 401 reviews, with particularly strong scores for rooms (9.5) and service (9.6). Rating category cat8 (9.9) also stands out, though its exact label isn't specified.
  • Self-catering flexibility — All apartments include a kitchen or kitchenette with a dining table, cookware, and tea and coffee facilities. This appeals especially to guests with dietary preferences, as one reviewer noted.
  • Soundproofed rooms — Despite the lively square, guests note that closed windows block out the noise. Soundproofing is listed as a standard amenity, and multiple reviewers mention quiet rooms.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms can vary in comfort — While most guests rate the beds highly, one review singled out an uncomfortable bed. This suggests some variation between apartments, so it may be worth checking specific room reviews if you're particular about mattress firmness.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 16:00 to 23:59. If you arrive late or earlier than 4 PM, you'll need to plan around this window, since there's no mention of early or late check-in options.
  • No on-site parking — Parking is described as 'public parking nearby' rather than a dedicated hotel lot. In a busy old-town area, finding a space may take time, and you'll likely pay city rates.

“The setting was the best possible and historic. Plus a main market and a market were nearby. Found a nice place called Restauracja Wesele not too far from the apartment, had lunch and dinner there. Staff was really helpful and responsive, assisted with everything. The bed was uncomfortable here, nevertheless I loved the stay overall.”
