Very clean and modern, bed is uncomfortable
Very clean and modern but definitely on the small side. Ten minute walk to the main square. Four full flights of stairs to walk to room. Full bed didn’t fit my husband and I and you roll to the middle if not sleeping alone. Definitely bring towels as the shower water sprays into bathroom floor. They only provide one towel each however if you have time you can use the washing machine and drying rack.

Nice, quiet apartment with good location.
The apartment is located near a well stocked supermarket and only a short walk to the old town and castle. Trams and buses also run down the main roads just outside so very easy to get further afield. The river runs very close by and is very pleasant for a walk. There are a number of eating places nearby, with plenty more within the Jewish quarter and old town. Both are a 10-20 minute walk. Downsides to the apartment are the 4th floor location (no lift) and the shower attachment (no adjustment and angled back meaning that it's easy to spray the bathroom!). Other than that we had a comfortable stay and it was very quiet at night.

Be sure to look at facilities for YOUR apartment.
The company offers a wide variety of apartments. Some have lifts, others don't. Some have washers, others don't. Mine had neither, and I had not noticed this particular one didn't have the washer I was expecting. The duvet was not large enough for the bed. The location was about 20 minute walk from the center of Old Town, but there are a bus stop and tram stop only a block away. One bus can take you to the airport for only 3 euro so don't bother with a taxi or shuttle.

An alternative choice in Krakow
Late arrival to Krakow. Quite difficult to find the hotel location. Call the company to let them send a key to get in is a must. If no cell phone, please remember to call the hotel before arrival. The TV and lighting are not work properly. General speaking, it is a home like apartment and an alternative choice in Krakow.

Avoid
We went to Krakow for a long weekend, and even though that weekend the whole city seemed completely booked, we found this La Gioia Apartments place for a reasonable price in a decent location. Unfortunately, as we pretty soon found out, the whole building seems to be completely moldy - we slept there for one night and woke up feeling really bad; went to Zakopane, felt fine; after coming back just 2 hours in the room was enough to make it hard to breathe. A nice place, but absolutely uninhabitable. When I emailed the company about us leaving early because of this I received no response whatsoever. Now I'm not saying that all their locations are like this, but avoid the ul. Syrokomli location at all cost. Also, not impressed by the service.

This is not a hotel. This is an apartment with no support after you check in. It is a 4 story walkup with over 80 stairs. The only window is on to a balcony which you share with neighboring apartments. No privacy. The curtain broke the first time we used it and then there was precious little privacy. When people in adjoining apartment had a party, their noise easily carried to our apartment and was quite disturbing.

quiet place to retreat after playing tourist
I was not sure how to get to the room when we got there, but that was my fault because they emailed me the day before and I did not check. But one phone call and they were there within a few minutes to let us in and make sure the room was ready for us. I found the hike up the stairs to be good after sampling all of the great Polish food and needed to work of some calories. the room was only about a 10 minute walk from the main square but was far enough away to get away from the crowds. Just across the street is the river with lots of paths and green area, and I noticed several boat restaurants. If by car the parking is on the street or they offered private parking about a block away for a small fee. We used the street parking with no issues. The room was clean and comfortable with a kitchen, counter/bar area to eat. The beds were the only issue but I having traveled around Europe find the mattress to be a little thin for my tastes but have gotten used to them. The area is very quiet and a grocery store is a block away if you decide to cook. There is cable TV and baths were very clean and modern.

Solid place to stay - not a hotel
This is more of an apartment rented out as a hotel, but it works. It's quite modern but not brand new. No elevator makes the 4 floor trek a bit of a pain but unless you're ridiculously out of shape, that's not a real problem.

Close to Wavel, good for fitness
The appartment was in the forth floor without an elevator. There was no onsite parking available. We were lucky when we found a space for our car on the road near to the appartment. The appartment was silent and with AC. The matrasses need urgently a replacement. The kitchen equipment was sufficient.The excellent location close to the wavel and city center must be mentioned.

Wonderful reception from the hostess.
Expect for climbing the 6-floor stairs to reach the apartment/studio, everything else was great, especially a very polite Polish lady hostess (employee) who was waiting in front of the building for us when we got there from the airport, and also helped us with all requests. I do recommend it!! (not suitable for elderly, though).

Convenient and private but needs towels
La Gioia is a great apartment located in a very convenient spot, not too close but not too far from the heart of central Kracow. My two minor complaints would be 1) I was only provided with one bath towel for a 4 day stay. 2) The large window shade in the room should be replaced with a sun blocking opaque shade. Also, it would have been great if the tv had some cable channels so that non-Polish speaking guest would be able to watch CNN or the BBC.

A taste of apartment life in Krakow
Not really a hotel more of an apartment located in a residential apartment complex. Rooms located on 4th floor and there is no lift - be careful with heavy baggage. Not located in central Krakow - on opposite side of river to Wawel Castle. Close to shops and services but limited access to trams. You really needs a taxi to get around. Room is spacious, modern and quite.

Not a four star hotel.
This is definitely not a four star standard. It may deserve three stars rating at best. And here is why: - room advertised for 4 people is more like 2 people room - place was not as clean as four star should be - its original décor was somewhat fatigued: broken shades, loose sink faucet, incomplete kitchen sets, defective door in refrigerator, worn out floors - parking is offered on the street and surprise! there is no space on this street to park - bathroom is the only sort of 4 star décor in this place but very small and open to the rest of the apartment so it is hard to find privacy - too few towels provided in the bathroom (no additional towels provided) complicated our life even more - apartment is on 5th floor and no elevator so be prepared for lifting your luggage all the way up On the bright side: - property owner is willing to help and cooperate (after all he provided substitute parking) - location is good, walking distance to Wawel Castle and Old Town - supermarket is nearby so you can take full advantage of kitchen - apartment is in an old building in quiet and safe area

Not suitable for Families or if you like comfort.
The pictures posted leave you with a false impression of the Studios on offer. For single people they will be great, for a family avoid at all costs. Allthough the owner is friendly he should target the singles or young couple who just need somewhere to lay their head. The Four flight of stairs that greet you were not the best after a day out. It is about a 20 min walk into the square where all the resturants are. One of the routes we took is along the river which is a nice walk. DON'T let this put you off Krakow it is a great place to stay and the food is great. Great deals are to be had in the centre on all the tours you wish to make.

Nice studio in the center of Krakow
The location of the flat is great, about 10min walk from the castle. It represents an old flat which was split into 3 studios completely furnished with Ikea goods. The owner is quite friendly and speaks perfect English. The only downside is that it's on the 4th floor and there is no lift.

Comfortable Apartment Close to the Castle
The apartment we were provided was in a great location, close to all the major attractions (within a 10-15 min walk) and it was also right across the street from a 24 hour supermarket which was very convenient for buying food and drink which we used to bring back to the apartment. The bathroom slightly odd, since the toilet and shower were in the same area with very little separating the two. After taking a shower, a squeegee was provided to collect the water that spilt out into the toilet part, but it was a quick drying surface, so it was not really a problem, more of a strange setup. The air conditioning was controlled with a remote, which was convenient and easy to use. Worked very well on those hot days where it was badly needed. There was no lift to the apartment, and this particular apartment was located on the 4th floor, so bringing up luggage and having to walk up every day was a task. It was expected, so this is not a complaint but more of a heads-up to those who are unfit or those who dislike walking up stairs. In general this apartment was perfect for us. It had a useable kitchen; everything worked perfectly and provided much needed help in making tea, sandwiches and other small meals in the morning. The fridge kept food super-cold which was great to see. The person who helped us with the check-in was helpful and nice, providing everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely stay here again when visiting beautiful Krakow.

Response from LaGioia Team on 10 Sept 2019
We are sorry to read such an opinion, we tried to contact you before arrival to arrange check-in time but we did not receive any answer, so you had to wait a little longer until someone from our staff appears to hand over the keys, through your whole stay we have not received any information about problems in the room and we did not find them after your departure, no one contacted us, so we could not react, in conclusion, we believe that this opinion is unfair.

Das Appartement wurde zwei Tage vor Ankunft vom Vermieter geändert und uns wurde - im Winter - ein eiskaltes, bislang unbewohntes Appartement zugewiesen. Es dauerte 2 Tage bis 20 Grad erreicht waren, also bis zum Ende unserer Reise. Der Vermieter ersuchte uns sogar eine überzählige Decke an unser Nachbarappartement abzugeben, da diesen Gästen auch kalt war. Die Bereitschaft selbst Vorort zu erscheinen, eine Lösung (/Heizlüfter ect.) anzubieten oder sich zu entschuldigen war nicht vorhanden. Es tut uns leid, dass wir trotz einen sauberen, gut ausgestatteten Appartement in guter Lage, nur eine insgesamt sehr mangelhafte Bewertung abgeben können.

Good apartment hotel near Wawel royal castle
It was quite nice overall except that it was on the fifth floor (from counting 1 on the ground) without elevator. However, it was also not that bad since we can work out every time we come in and go out of the apartment. The best ting is that it is not that far from Wawel and Vistular river and the scenery of the river and the castle is fantastic. I believe you love Krakow there~

Huoneisto sijaitsi normaali kerrostalossa neljännessä kerroksessa, jossa ei ollut hissiä. Siisti, modernisti remontoitu, täysin varusteltu. Avain tultiin luovuttamaan suoraan asuntoon puhelinsoiton jälkeen. Sijainti rauhallinen, bussipysäkki ihan lähellä. Hintalaatusuhde ok.

Tämä ei ollutkaan varsinainen hotelli
Kyseessä ei ollut varsinainen hotelli, vaan kerrostalon huoneisto viidennessä kerroksessa ilman hissiä. Onneksi otimme tarjotun kuljetuksen lentokentältä, koska mitään hotellikylttiä ei talossa ollut, jota olisimme pimeässä etsineet. Tulimme paikalle klo 22.30. Respaa ei ollut, ainoastaan puhelinnumero, josta olisi voinut kysyä lisätietoja. Tuloiltana huoneen meille esitteli joku nainen ja häneltä saimme myös avaimet. Meidän piti maksaa paikanpäällä lisähintaa, koska lentomme tuli niin myöhään. Lähtöpäivänä veimme matkalaukun n. 300 metrin päähän jonkin kerrostalon aulaan, jossa sitä väijyi aulavahtimestari. Tämä järjestyi, kun kyselin asian perään, koska meidän paluulento oli vasta illalla. Käytimme majapaikkaa lähinnä nukkumiseen ja siihen puitteet olivat hyvät ja asialliset.

Skuffende..
Vi hadde en helt fantastisk uke i Krakow, men hotellet var en liten nedtur. Rommet ligger i en leilighetsblokk hvor det bor "sivile" mennesker. Det er også i den øverste etasjen, uten heis! Det er tre hotellrom i blokka, ingen resepsjon. Vi benyttet oss av turistinformasjonskontorene som lå rundt i byen for å bestille utflukter og få informasjon om byen. Da vi kom var ikke rommet helt rent, var hår på gulvet og flere hybelkaniner..Sluket i dusjen var enten veldig dårlig eller delvis tett, for det rant masse vann ut i resten av leiligheten da vi dusjet. Det ble heller ikke skiftet håndklær eller sengetøy i løpet av uka. For dem som trenger stor plass når man skal såve: dobbelsenga var liten med dobbeldyne. Kort sagt var leiligheten moderne og fin i utgangspunktet, fin dersom man ønsker stillhet og å være litt for seg selv. For oss var den skuffende..

Vi sjekket på nett og der det sto parkeringsmuligheter. Når vi kom sa de at det var tilknyttet en annen leilighet, og at de måtte undersøke muligheten for å stå der. Sa videre at de fleste valgte å stå i gaten. Vi gjorde det, og fikk slått inn ruten og herpet bilen. Det var mye støv i leiligheten, vi var fire som sov på liten stue på sovesofa som var steinharde. Når familie på fire har hver sin koffert/bag, ble det i grunnen ikke mer gulvplass. Ikke helt heldig. Kjøkken dårlig utstyrt. Designleilighet er å trekke det langt, og leiligheten passer bedre som en trestjerners, enn 4. 5.etg uten heis var man forberedt på og ikke noe problem. Jeg ville anbefalt denne leiligheten til et par uten bil.

Anice Apartment in Krakow
First of all, the comment is for "La Gioia Designers Lofts Luxury Apartments (Luxury) " as I have a free upgrade. When I reach the "modern designed" through GPS, I only found an Ibis right next to me. When I wonder where should it be, a nice lady come to ask whether I have booked their room. She was the key keeper waiting for me for an hour in the street. (Really sorry about that). She took me upstair to the "Modern" (5th floor no elevator) and offer me a free upgrade as her boss believe it's a bit small for 4 members' family. It's no way to refuse. "The Luxury" is same to the pic shown, well decorated, well equipped kitchen, perfect location. It's a wise decision for putting the car in their indoor car park at the basement. (Euro 15 is needed). and visit the city by our feet as the apartment is close to most of the town attraction. The room is spacious for 4, a Queen size bed and a single bed in the upper deck, my boy sleep in the sofa bed in the lower deck. Lastly, a friendly reminder to all, it's not a hotel but an apartment. No reception, no room service, no tel, no breakfast. Even though you can't find their name "La Gioia...." but the apartment name.

Lägenheten var rätt liten, men det fanns allt man behövde, inklusive en liten kokvrå, komplett med porslin, kastruller etc. Det var rätt trevligt att den låg mer i ett "vanligt" bostadsområde och inte så turistigt, det var ju ändå bara tio min att gå in till torget och ca 5 min till restauranger osv. Det fanns ju ingen reception eftersom det var en lägenhet, vilket alltid är lite jobbigt när man ska checka in eller har några frågor. Man fick ringa en kille som kom och släppte in en, så det funkade ju bra ändå.
