Old Town

The Old Town View

Kraków, ul. Podwale 3

The tenement house at Podwale 3 stands right by the Planty park, on the edge of the Old Town. The Main Square is a four minute walk away and the tram stop is across the street. The building dates from the nineteenth century and stands where the Kosciuszko Tower once did.

Five studios wait on the first floor, reached by stairs, as the building has no lift. Three look out on the Planty park, two on a courtyard. Each one has a private bathroom with a shower, air conditioning, a TV and wi-fi, and the kitchenette is shared by the whole floor.

The building has keypad locks, so you check in yourself, at any hour from 3:00 pm.
