Rent like home – Świętojańska 23/25

Hotel Description

So I stumbled across this gem on Świętojańska Street – honestly, the name “Rent like home” pretty much nails what you’re getting here. It’s one of those apartment-style places that actually delivers on the promise, you know? The building sits right in the heart of Kraków’s Old Town, and I mean literally – you’re basically living like a local in one of those beautiful historic tenements that line the street.

What really got me was how they’ve managed to blend that authentic Polish apartment vibe with proper hotel-level comfort. The space feels genuinely lived-in (in a good way), not like some sterile corporate rental. You’ve got a real kitchen where you can actually cook – I’m talking full-sized fridge, decent cookware, the works. Perfect if you want to grab some pierogi from the market and heat them up, or honestly just store your leftover zapiekanka from the street vendors. The internet is solid too, which matters more than people admit when they’re trying to figure out tram schedules or hunting down the best milk bars nearby.

Location-wise, you’re golden. Świętojańska runs parallel to the main drag toward the castle, so you get that Old Town accessibility without quite as much tourist chaos right outside your window. Though let’s be real – it’s still the Old Town, so summer nights can get a bit lively with people wandering back from the bars around Plac Nowy. The 8.6 rating makes sense to me; it’s not luxury hotel territory, but for what it is – a proper local experience with solid amenities – it overdelivers. Check-in was smooth, no weird key handoff situations like some of these apartment rentals pull. The staff actually seemed to know the neighborhood well, gave me decent recommendations that weren’t just the obvious tourist spots everyone hits. You’re maybe a ten-minute walk from the main square, five minutes from some really solid traditional restaurants that locals actually frequent, and close enough to Kazimierz that you can wander over for dinner without planning a whole expedition. Honestly, if you want to feel like you’re temporarily living in Kraków rather than just passing through, this place gets it right.

  Duże przestronne mieszkanie w samym centrum starówki super lokalizacja. Względnie czysto, czyste nowe pościele i czyste łóżka.
  Lodówka trochę za mocno mrozi,można wymienić 😉
  I przydałaby się mikrofala. Poza tym polecam gorąco.
