Aparthotel Grodzka 21

Public Service Announcement: If coming by car, use Google Maps and NOT Apple Maps. Even with the parking address provided through the Expedia messenger by the hotel, Apple Maps kept directing us through the pedestrian zones. We switched to Google Maps and it worked a solution that got us within 100 feet (30m) of hotel parking, but at the wrong end of a one-way street (Polselska). At that point (it took more than 45 minutes to cover the last mile to the hotel due to misnavigatin), after verifying there was no oncoming traffic, we forged up the street to the parking entrance which was open due to departing cars. Anyway, the Aparthotel Grodzka 21 is managed through the office of the nearby Santi Hotel, which is where one needs to go to register, pick up keys, and park. Once we parked, we found the reception and check-in went smoothly, including getting train directions to the Wieliczka Salt Mine for which we had tickets the next morning (we weren't about to repeat the old town driving experience unless we had to). The Aparthotel does not have an elevator, which was fine for us since we travel light. We enjoyed our well-appointed third-floor room for the two nights we stayed. Points of interest, restaurants, evening music, and souvenir shops are right outside the hotel or within a ten to fifteen minutes walk with the train station being a little further away. We really enjoyed our time here.

The apartment is huge and clean. Just steps away from old town and castle. It is located in one of the busiest streets. Noise is expected but I personally didn’t find it too bad.

Check in was irritating as it was in a hotel close by, the room was very spacious but didn't have much hanging room. Old but nice building.
