Rajska Residence

Everything is fine. Though I stayed onlyl one night here, but had a good sleep.

Arrived at 11 am, called number on the door entry to let them know we had arrived. Told room would not be ready till 2 pm ( which we expected) told we could leave our luggage at sister hotel 30 min walk away as the Rajska residence has no left luggage facilities! When we did get in using the door code and then room code, initially room looked nice but on closer inspection bathroom floor had long black hairs on it ( definitely not from me or my partner as I have short grey hair and partner is almost bald) Looking round the kitchen area we could only see a kettle and a coffee machine which looked a bit grubby. two cups two small tumblers one very small wine glass and two ring hob and that was it. No toaster or microwave which even in cheaper establishments are standard, not even a chopping board or dish towel. Looking in the wardrobe there were 4 hangers, not really sufficient for 2 people for 5 days. There was a full size ironing board which was a plus but unfortunately difficult to use as the iron was attached to the board presumably to stop it from being removed from the room. A polite notice asked to keep the room tidy it would help if a brush and dustpan was provided! Next morning was an experience as more water came out the shower attachment lead than the shower head and on our last day the actual knob that turned on the water fell off leaving me to struggle with hot running water as I had to screw it back in place! The main door code worked all the time but we had to phone at 11.30pm to get a new code to get into our room as it didn’t open with the original one. This one didn’t work either and if it hadn’t been for the guy who was there to pick up the laundry (who couldn’t get it to work either and was able to explain this in Polish to the guy on the phone) we may not have got into our room at all . We were then given a key for the rest of our visit. Check out is 10 am but pick up for airport was not till 7pm and again with no facilities to leave our luggage we would have to take them to the Red Brick hotel and then all the way back fir pick up for airport as the number I was given for taxi to try and change pick up was unobtainable. Fortunately the hotel round the corner let us leave our luggage in their secure room with no charge. Life savers is 10am but our flight

The apartment was lovely. It had everything we needed. I received an email with codes for the main door and for our apartment the morning before arriving. Bathroom was modern, and had a shower, towels and a hairdryer. There was a wardrobe with hangers, an iron and an ironing board. There was a TV, and table and chairs and kitchen space with kettle, tea/coffee, stove top, fridge, plates, cutlery, cups etc Breakfast was included with our stay, and was options of different platters which were delivered at 07:30 every morning so were at our door when we woke up. These cost 45zloty each if not already included. Location was perfect! Less than 10 minute stroll into main old town, with most attractions around the area. Would definitely recommend!!

Fantastic apartment in the centre of Krakow. Was spotless & the facilities were very good. Great hair dryer & also had an iron & iron board which was a surprise bonus. Great kitchen area with fridge freezer. Coffee machine & coffee included. Would definitely return to this place when we return.

Really smart apartments- only trouble we had was Tui hadn’t passed our details over previously so we couldn’t access the property until we had made several phone calls! Nice clean apartment well equipped for a few nights stay - 10mins from main square 20 mins to huge shopping centre. Only negative is that the neighbouring walls are thin and you can hear everything! The bin men wake you every morning at 6 collecting the bins outside and the place seems to come alive with a cleaning team at 7 who bang and crash about - do don’t expect a fabulous sleep!!

Lovely clean spacious apartment, close to amenities and the town ,all together a good choice…. However I must mention the Tuesday morning wake up call .. 5am to be precise. It seemed like the whole building was being destroyed with a Bang ! bang ! bang ! Continually.. after slinging on some trousers I went to investigate…. To my surprise it was the Bin men bouncing the wheelie bins up and down the main stairwell. All I can say is there must be another way surely. Anyway it didn’t spoil our stay and would definitely recommend. One last thing … a toaster would be a great addition to the kitchen facilities.
