The Crystal Suites Chez Helena Is a very unique lodging opportunity. It was a portion of the home of Helena Rubenstein (famous for cosmetics products) and a unique peek into where she lived in her youth. The unit was modernized with a new bathroom and kitchenette, in a nice neighborhood within walking distance to the old city and with casual restaurants and live acoustic music very nearby. Anna, the manager was great at welcoming us and arranging transportation to the airport after our short stay. I would definitely stay there again if the opportunity becomes available.

An amazing stay!
An amazing . Could not fault anything about this place. The staff were extremely helpful; even showing me to my room and carrying my bag (I was on my own and my bag was super heavy, coupled with no elevator!). I forget the name of the gentleman who showed me around but he was superb. Location is excellent and the apartment had everything you need - decent bed, great shower and facilities. The extra touches such as coffee and tea, just went above and beyond anywhere I have stayed before. I will definitely be recommending this place to everyone and for the price, it was a bargain. Thank you for a great stay. KR, Miss L Whittingham.

Superb hotel
Amazing hotel, really friendly and helpful staff, decor is fab, located in Jewish quarter, our room overlooked the main road and just above the restaurants, at night we could hear the live band playing to 10 but it was great to hear the traditional music added to the ambience of the hotel, we will be back

Lovely property in a central location. Courtyard facing room was extremely quiet. Note that there are two crystal suites on opposite sides of the town, I found out the hard way unfortunately.

10/10 Exceptional

The apartments are located in a lively square filled with restaurants, bars, book shops and an old Synagogue, now a museum. It is about a 20 minute walk from the main square and also very convenient for walking to attractions in the Jewish area of the city eg, the Oscar Schindler factory and the Ghetto. The square always has several Electric Kart Tour vendors, if required, though we preferred to walk. Despite the liveliness of the surroundings we were never affected by noise in our room. We had the ground floor Patio Apartment which was very nicely decorated and well equipped with a kitchenette, very nice bathroom (with a hot shower) and a roomy bedroom. Access to the patio was via the bedroom and proved a nice place for a nightcap.

Ticked All Our Boxes
This apartment (no. 5) ticked all our boxes. Located in the Kazimierz, the apartment offers a good choice of restaurants outside the front door, and is a short walk to a tram stop, taxis and mini-market. It is comfortably and smartly furnished with full kitchen, with dish washer, sofa, dining table and chairs, in one room and a separate bedroom with generous cupboard space and a small desk. My only reservation was that the bedroom is small and not much space between bed and walls. OK for us but may be a problem for larger people. The bathroom, with walk-in shower was functional and modern. Plenty of shelf space. It has a washing machine. There is no elevator. Staircase is wide and staff helped with luggage. Wifi was secure and strong. Air conditioning worked well for which we were most grateful as temperatures were high. Reception is normally from 9am to 9pm but staff wait for late or delayed checkins. The reception and cleaning staff were welcoming and helpful in making phone calls and booking taxis. The units are serviced weekly, daily service costs extra but towels were changed every second day at no charge. Breakfast can be taken at extra charge at the nearby Rubenstein hotel. We didn't do this preferring to breakfast in our room with supplies from the minimart. For us, Crystal suites was ideal and I highly recommend.

Fantastic!
I booked four apartments here for 8 of us and each apartment was absolutely beautiful. They had everything you needed and more. Decorated beautifully, clean and tidy and i honestly had the best nights sleep in the very comfy beds! The location is perfect, amazing restaurants right outside your door and the center a short walk away. Honestly could not fault this place at all will definitely be back!

Excellent location
Location was fabulous; receptionists were very helpful; apartment (top floor, #7) was great, except for an annoying humming noise on our last night (perhaps from the A/C in another room below us?) We highly recommend this apartment hotel.

Nice place to stay if you need a kitchen
This hotel is one of the better ones I have stayed in in Krakow. The kitchen is nicely equipped and the room is clean. It is more corporate style housing, so you only get housekeeping once a week and the concierge is not 24/7. There are only a few rooms in this location so it feels very private. There are a few pitfalls though. The wifi is not very fast, though each room gets its own router. Also, I find the walls to be a bit thin, so you can definitely hear the TV or "other noises" from the other rooms if they are being loud.

A Disappointment
Based on the many favourable reviews we booked a one bedroom apartment at Crystal Suites Chez Helena for our 4 day stay in Krakow. The apartment described as deluxe, did not live up to this description. Being just 30 sqm it proved very cramped for two averaged sized people to comfortably move around. It is difficult to imagine how it could accommodate 3 persons as advertised. The combined kitchenette - sitting area offered no comfortable place to sit. The one arm chair was in reality a fold out bed and the kitchen chairs were not particularly comfortable for watching the TV. A plus was the private courtyard, a pleasant space (when weather permitted) for relaxing after a full day of sightseeing. Not facing the square made the apartment quiet space for sleeping. There is a washing machine but no drier so one needs to plan ahead if one wants to do laundry and have it dry in time. I concur with other reviewers that staff were very helpful and the premises are kept clean. With hindsight we would have chosen the Old Town over staying in the Kazimierz District. The Old Town (Stare Miasto) is a better choice with its medieval surrounds offering a less kitsch introduction to Krakow. From there it’s only a short walk to visit the synagogues and old Jewish cemetery of the Kazimierz district without having to be subjected to a ‘fake’ cultural experience.
