The last two days, the hot water didn’t work. We tried contacting the people at the front but their desk was closed. The location is absolutely fantastic. They just need to work on updating the rooms. They also need to provide super clean sheets. All these things can be fixed with a few hundred dollars. Shouldn’t be too complicated.

Anna went above and beyond telling us about the history of Krakow while transporting us from airport, through the city and on our way back on our last day. We were able to communicate with her regularly with our flight times and her pick-up and drop off times. There is a beauty parlour right beside the apartment, and a hairdresser which i highly recommended. got my nails done straight after the flight. Konrad at the bar was very helpful in giving us numbers for taxi companies around the city. The bar stocks a variety of drinks and we didn't feel the need to get out at all for the night. We had everything right on our doorstep. Thank you Anna for your warm hospitality and smiling face, we will surely use Happy Tower again.

Great Place!
Our first trip to Krakow and Poland and this was an ideal choice. Great location--10 minute walk to the "Rynek Glowny" ( main Market Square) and the Kazimierz district the other direction. The entrance seems a bit seedy but once inside this old building has been beautifully renovated and pristinely clean(also secure) . Room was clean with plumbing, appliances etc all up to date and working perfectly. Room didn't have much of a view but plenty of air and light from a large window and very little street noise. Other guests/ residents(some apparently longer-term) quiet and polite. We ate out at the many excellent restaurants in the area but there is a kitchenette if you want to procure provisions from nearby grocery markets. We chose this over other "aparthotels"because it has a front desk which is extremely helpful when you visit a city the first time. The staff was very helpful and gracious but be prepared that the front desk is also a public bar which operates in the eve! Don't worry, there is absolutely no noise from the bar in the rooms up above. Excellent value for a moderate price!

Decent stay in Krákow
The apartment was a reasonable distance from the city centre. The check-in was a bit confusing as we had to go into the pub that was on the left of the entrance. Check-in was smooth, the room was spacious with a small kitchen and a rather big fridge. The toilet was decent but the shower area could use a curtain as the water would splash out when showering. No shower necessities were provided. Do note as well that the room is only cleaned every 4 day according to the information booklet provided in the room and the beds were slightly thin. However we were able to adjust the temperature in the room so that was a good plus. It was also quiet within our apartment room even though the building is just along the street.

Good location lovely staff
Stayed at hotel for my fiancé’s birthday this weekend. Bar served as reception also and discounted drinks if you told them you were staying in apartments!(not that you needed discount as it was so cheap anyway!) The Batman/receptionist was polite, to the point and helpful. He helped us to book our transfer for the return home who was also lovely she told us a lot about the city and was prompt and on time. He also assisted us in booking a tour and gave us the best tips and directions to the best locations without us even asking. Room was like an IKEA showroom, simple but stylish. Only negative was that the bed was slightly uncomfortable, however after 2 days of walking and tiring ourselves out I had 2 very good nights sleep! They also were self catering apartments, but a toaster or an oven were not supplied, just a hob and microwave, which was a pain when we just wanted some toast! Good location close to tram, close to old town Kraków which is beautiful. Cannot wait to go back, and will definitely consider staying at happy tower again! P.s. after reading reviews beforehand, a lot of people said about the stairs. We stayed on the ground floor which wasn’t only a few steps leaving up from the Main Street, so I’m sure of steps are an issue then you could request a lower floor! Washing machine and washing powder was also provided which was fab when it was rainy and clothes got soggy and stinky.

Good Location
Receptionist/Bartender was very polite and accommodating. Parking is limited to 6 spaces so you have to reserve a spot and receive confirmation before you travel. Location is very convenient, only a 5 minute walk to castle or the main sightseeing tours bus stop. Rooms are furnished with IKEA items. We got the room on first floor which I would not recommend as you can hear all guests and tenants going in and out as our door was at the beginning of only stairwell. First night around 10:30 PM someone actually tried to turn the door handle. It could not be a mistake as this is only door in ground floor stairwell. Doors and locks are very old and do not generate a feeling of security nor any sound insulation. Also, all terraces are connected by outside steps.

Great location for sightseeing on foot
Great location- in an area thats a short walk to both the old town, and in the opposite direction the Jewish Quarter. A reasonably large supermarket was also 5 mins walk, but a few 24h delis were closer. Only issue with location is its on a busy enough road, but of windows are closed you wouldnt hear it, well soundproofed.

Great location, great price!
This was a lovely hotel apartment. Emphasis on apartment as it really was a little studio apartment and maid service is every 4 days so you need to tidy and clean up after yourself. Was really pleased with the size of the room, lovely and spacious, room to store luggage, and a lovely area to cook and eat in. There was even a washing machine that was free to use and they provided a free washing tablet for an emergency. At night we found it was very quiet and had no problem with noise disturbance. The location was at most 5-10 min walk right into the city centre so didn't need to spend any money on transport. Right down the street were several small shops selling groceries and a lovely bakery for your fresh morning pastries. The only real negative was the 'queen size' bed was in reality two very hard uncomfortable tiny twin beds pushed together, with a limp cushion they called a pillow which didn't make for the best nights sleep.... but for the price no real complaints. They were also very accommodating, our flight was delayed and we didn't arrive until 1am, we gave them a quick call to explain and we were able to pick up the keys and check in with no problems.

Long weekend
Very spacious and well equipped apartment/hotel room. The kitchen area had what was needed if you wanted to cater for yourself. The security is good, with a few fob to open the outer door. The bar was handy for a well priced drink. If you like to dance that was going on with a DJ until the early hours on Saturday. The area is ideal, being between the old town and the Jewish quarter. Minus points were the bed was rather hard with tiny pillows.

Great studio apartment, centrally located
This apartment is in a great location, walking distance to most everything you want to do or see in Krakow. Note that the check in is at the Poli bar with the bartender. This is not clear when you arrive, but once you figure it out they are very friendly and helpful. The Poli bar is in the same building as the apartments. The bed was very hard but the pillows were nice. I was so tired every night from all the walking, it didn't matter and I fell right to sleep. There's also a small grocery store at the corner, across the street; less than a 5 minute walk and it's called Carrefour Express.
