Old Town Studios manages a string of 40 apartments cast throughout Krakow's Stare Miasto, most in the middle of the tourist action.

We peeked at a few of the units located on ul. Szpitalna, just a stone's throw from Rynek Główny. Apartments are fairly anonymous, with particle-board bed units, simple kitchen areas and en-suite bathrooms. Ambiance and flashes of color are provided by candleholders, vases and framed dried flowers, but for the most part décor is minimal. Apartments, however, are not cramped. Even the smaller apartments have kitchens and lounge areas, and all feature modern appliances and satellite television.

These apartments are clearly designed for independent, longer-term guests who need neither concierge services nor daily maid service. Accordingly, they feel less like hotel rooms than like clean, well-maintained studio apartments.

Free Wi-Fi is available in some, but not all, apartments.

Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

Location: Very central

0.6km to city center

Stare Miasto forms the heart of Old Krakow. Encircled by a greenbelt park and bookended by Wawel (Castle) Hill at its south and the Florian Gate at its north, Krakow's Old Town is dizzyingly full of sights. At the center of Stare Miasto is Rynek Glowny, or the Main Market Square, the biggest medieval city square in all of Europe. Stare Miasto is so chock full of historically significant buildings that it feels a bit like an open-air museum.

Among the many highlights: St. Andrew's Church, a Romanesque church that dates back to the 11th Century, Rynek Glowny's magnificent 16th-century Cloth Hall, and the Wawel Castle and Cathedral. There are plenty of swank cafes and folksy restaurants to provide a break from the tourist action. Many of Krakow's hotels can also be found in Stare Miasto, in particular north of Rynek Glowny.
