Pergamin Apartments

Old Town visting

Pergamin Apartments offers an alternative for groups staying in Krakow. 5 VTers shared apartment number 1 for 4 nights during EuroMeet2010 in June 2010, with 4 returning to share apartment number 4 for a further night after returning from L’viv in the Ukraine.

Pergamin Apartments is located on Bracka Street which is just off Krakow’s Main Square, making this an ideal location within the Old Town for visitors to Krakow.

Each apartment is slightly different. Apartment 1 has a single bathroom with 3 single beds located within the lounge/dining area, a further 3 single beds located on a mezzanine level (it is not possible to stand upright next to these beds) and a double bed located in a separate bedroom. Apartment 4 has 3 single beds located in the lounge/dining area, a further 2 single beds in the open plan mezzanine area and a double bed located within an alcove arrangement on the mezzanine. Within both apartments, a spiral staircase led up to the mezzanine levels.

Interestingly, for both stays, we had booked different apartments using the online booking service but were allocated to apartments on our arrival. Unfortunately, our original booking had been for apartment 3 which contained two bathrooms, for our group of five ladies, this would have been a better arrangement; however, we did receive a 10% discount for this inconvenience.

Unique Quality: Each apartment has at least one showeroom (apartment 3 has two) with toilet and wash hand basin, a mini bar fridge and tea/coffee making facilities (although the tea and coffee provided is chargeable). The facility would appear to be used more by gentlemen than ladies as any toiletries within the showerooms were of the ‘Nivea for Men’ brand.

For myself, my preference was for apartment 1 which overlooking a courtyard (not particularly visible) as opposed to apartment 4 which overlooked Bracka Street and received both the noise and the fumes (including smokers from outside a ground floor café) from the street. Apartments 2 and 3 would also overlook the courtyard area. The apartments offer accommodation to differing numbers up to 8 people.

Located at the end of the corridor of the apartments, to the right, is a communal computer with free internet access.

Access to the apartments is off Bracka Street along a walk-through to a number of bars, including Pergamin Chill and Music Bar where, apparently, it is possible to obtain discount if you are staying in the apartments (although, we were never informed of this during our stay). We were not disturbed by any noise from these bars during our stay – although, they did provide excellent opportunity for drinks with a short walk back afterwards!

All told, I would recommend these apartments for groups making a trip to Krakow; they are excellently located for the Old Town with a selection of cafes, restaurants and bars within the area, including a small shop in the near vicinity which sells bread, meats, cheese, butter, waters, juices and alcohol.
