About

K12 Apartments

K12 Apartments is a small, six-room property on Kalwaryjska Street, just over a kilometre from Wawel Royal Castle and a short stroll from the Vistula river. The location puts you between the Old Town and the Kazimierz district, which guests repeatedly describe as ideal for exploring on foot.

The apartments are self-catering studios, each with a kitchenette, dining table, tea and coffee facilities, and air conditioning. Rooms come with either a city or courtyard view, and the property offers private parking nearby for those arriving by car.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Small property, limited public areas — With only six rooms, K12 Apartments is compact – there's no lobby or shared lounge, and a few reviews mention limited common space.
  • Possible noise from the street and trams — Some guests note trams run past at night and emergency vehicles can be heard, so light sleepers may want earplugs.
  • Breakfast not included — There's no on-site restaurant or breakfast buffet – though in-room breakfast is available, it's not a standard offering.

“The apartment's location was excellent, right by the Vistula on the edge of the centre. It was handy for the Old Town and only a short walk over the river to Kazimierz. The room was nicely decorated and furnished, with lovely floors and modern touches. The bathroom was clean and well looked after.”

“We stayed six nights and felt at home. Public parking was available, and the staff were extremely helpful. The location was great and cosy, just a pleasant walk from Corpus Christi Church. It was also close to trams running late into the night, as well as emergency vehicles, Krakow, and the Jewish district...”

8.5Verified guest

“My stay at K12 Apartments was wonderful. The location was fantastic, with plenty of good restaurants nearby and a lovely park I really enjoyed. The apartment was clean and tidy, and the bed linens were comfortable. I also appreciated extras like the iron and hairdryer. Apart from a few minor issues, like the broken induction cooktop, my stay was enjoyable. Being close to the centre and the riverbank was a definite plus.”

The bottom line

K12 Apartments delivers exactly what most Krakow visitors want: a clean, comfortable, self-catering base within walking distance of the Old Town, Wawel Castle and Kazimierz, backed by genuinely helpful staff. It's not a full-service hotel, and the street can be lively, but for its location and price it's a reliable choice.

8.5Best for independent travellers and couples who want a central, well-equipped base without hotel frills.
