About
Arka Krakow
Arka Krakow is a three-star bed and breakfast in the Nowa Huta district of Krakow, about seven kilometres from Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory. It's a no-frills base aimed at travellers who want a clean room and easy access to the city without paying old-town prices.
The property runs on simple comforts: free private parking, Wi-Fi throughout, a lift to the upper floors, and a 24-hour reception. Rooms are carpeted and come with flat-screen TVs, heating, and some have balconies overlooking the greenery. Pets are welcome, which is a practical plus if you're travelling with a dog or cat.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Free private parking — Guests repeatedly note that parking is easy, either at the hotel or just across the road, and that it can accommodate larger vehicles.
- Friendly, helpful staff — The team is described as welcoming, cheerful and informative, with specific praise for Karolina at the front desk.
- Quiet yet connected location — The residential setting is calm and green, while supermarkets, pharmacies, parks and tram stops are within easy reach for exploring Krakow.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Low scores on rooms and value — Guest ratings put Rooms at 6.4 and Value at 6.0, suggesting the basics are decent but the rooms don't wow, and some felt the price-to-experience balance was off.
- No noteworthy interior details — Beyond the essentials, the property offers little in the way of design or on-site dining, which may matter if you're expecting a more polished stay.
- Distance from the old town — You'll need to rely on trams or buses to reach the centre; the hotel is about 7 km from Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory, and some reviews note the location isn't central.
