The rooms are clean, plain and comfortable. The hostel is one of the few in Krakow that offers single, private rooms. Bursa Jagiellonska has its own laundry machines, free internet access in each room and computers in the common area. The reception is nice and helpful as well.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16970 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16635
Well located, beautiful decor, spotlessly clean, large, well-equipped kitchen with every appliance, satelite TV, dvd, internet, inclusive of beautiful bed linen and fluffy towels. It has two large bedrooms, huge kitchen, large sitting room with two sofa beds and luxury bathroom.

We paid £60 per night between 3 of us, best apartment and best bargain I've ever stayed in.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16635 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16514
The website is a bit basic, but don't let that put you off. The staff are very friendly, speak excellent English, and can also help with organising trips to Auchwitz and the Salt Mines if you want a chauffered trip (warning - the price is a lot higher than the public tours, but you're paying for a personalised service).

They also pick you up from the airport (5 euros per car) and take you to the apartment which takes all the stress out of getting to your accomodation. They also provided us with maps etc.

I've been very happy with them both times - give them a go!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16514 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16510 krackow-apartments.com, their apartments are located in buildings that can be easily accessed from the streets and one of our group was seriously assaulted with mace/pepper spray and mugged in the hallway of our apartment building. On complaint to krackow-apartments.com they didn't bother to reply for a whole week.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16510 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16390 They screen films pretty much all day on to a projector screen in the lounge, have barbecues on the front porch, and the staff will frequently lead guests off to their favourite bars.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16390 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16021
I just wanted to say that we had a great time in Krakow, the apartment was actually much nicer than the photos on the website and was of a very good standard. The presentation was excellent, it had everything we needed. Also the service was impeccable.

I must admit that initially we were a bit reluctant to rent this apartment, as we thought that it was too far from the old town square, but the location turned out to be perfect, with virtually all major Krakow attractions within easy reach.

I strongly recommend a visit to Japanese Art and Technology which is just five minutes' walk away from the apartment and the Skalka monastery with beautiful gardens, which is just across the road.

A walk from Skalka church across the Jewish Quarter is a must - do not miss it. Just take your time and relish the atmosphere of the old Jewish Quarter.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16021 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14526
Kazimierz, the district where the apartment is located, is one of the famous placese for young people from Krakow, students and artists.
From windows of Szeroka apartment, you are able to see old Jewish synagogue and market where, every year, the festival of Jewish Culture takes place. 12 minutes from the apartment you can reach the main market of Krakow. The same distance is to the Wawel – Kings' Castle.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14526 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13305
Overall my experience with them was throughly enjoyable and I had a good laugh with the staff at their office when I went to pay, who were friendly and courteous.

The boss of the company is an English guy who I think is doing a good job of trying to establish Western standards and good value for money. Highly recommended]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13305 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13041
They offer first-rate service at very decent prices. They are very fast to respond and they provide very efficient service. KHA even organised airport transfer for me and my family.

I recommend this company to people travelling to Cracow, who want to have a little bit of luxury away from home, but who do not want to pay fortune for it.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13041 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12770 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12770 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12617
Great location, friendly staff and the apartment was very cool. I know they have a few more at that location and in other locations in the centre.

The apartment was very nice, nicely furnished with everything you might need for few days (including a hot tub). Check them out if you are looking for a place to stay in Krakow and don't want to spend a tonne on a hotel room.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12617 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12407 www.hotelsystem.pl I have really enjoyed this stay and I will be back :-)]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12407 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12220
Lovely and quiet spot with no stag parties in sight! Perfect both for families and romantic couples.

The owners are very helpful. They have a very nice website with lots of useful travel tips.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12220 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10748
They picked us up from the airport in two cars, fed us breakfast, and booked restaurants on our behalf.

They live upstairs. Works out for four at £15 per night including the above. Easy access to the centre and Kazimierz.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10748 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10027
The rooms are clean, towels and sheets are changed daily and although we did not ask for a triple room (and we only paid for the double that we requested) the very friendly staff (who were pleasantly surprised and helpful at my attempts to speak Polish) and hearty breakfast made it a good choice. We also happened to discover one of our favourite bars in Krakow just 20 yards away!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10027 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7679 Not many rooms though, so it's advisable to book ahead in high-season.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7679
