About
Royal City Apartments Old Town - Krakow
Royal City Apartments Old Town sits at 36 Starowislna, about 1.1 km from the Town Hall Tower. It’s a small property – just nine apartments – so the experience feels personal rather than hotel-like.
Each unit is set up for independent stays: there’s a kitchen or kitchenette with an electric kettle, fridge, microwave and cookware, plus a washing machine for longer trips. Free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and tea and coffee facilities come as standard.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Location between Old Town and Kazimierz — Guests repeatedly described the position as perfect, with the Main Square reachable in about 15 minutes on foot and the Jewish Quarter right on the doorstep.
- Friendly and attentive staff — Many reviews call out the team for staying in touch before and during stays, and for going out of their way to help, including in a medical situation.
- Self-catering facilities that punch above their weight — Apartments come with a washing machine, fridge, microwave, kettle and cookware – enough to shop at the nearby supermarket and cook simple meals, which several guests appreciated.
- Comfortable beds and spotless rooms — Guests used words like 'exceptionally comfortable' and 'airy' for the beds, and noted fresh sheets and clean worktops on arrival.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Small property, limited staff availability — With only nine apartments, this isn't a full-service hotel – there's no 24-hour front desk, and guests mentioned that check-in runs strictly between 15:00 and 23:59.
- No on-site breakfast — One guest mentioned breakfast being delicious, but no breakfast service is listed in the amenities or policies – it may be extra or arranged differently, so plan to buy your own food.
- Room rate higher than the area average — At £227 per night and with a value score of 7.6, this sits above the surrounding average of 8.8, so you're paying a premium for the location and self-catering setup.
