Śrutowa Royal Residence

Śrutowa Royal Residence Overview

I’d actually been meaning to check out the Śrutowa Royal Residence for months now, ever since I first noticed it while walking down Śrutowa Street toward the Market Square. You know how it is when you’re exploring Wrocław – you’re just wandering around these cobblestone streets and suddenly you spot something that looks interesting but you never quite make it back there? Well, that was this place for me until last weekend. The building itself has this lovely early 20th-century elegance that you don’t immediately notice from the outside, but once you step inside, there’s definitely character there.

The location is really what makes this spot special – I mean, you’re literally two minutes from the Main Market Square, but tucked away just enough that you don’t get bombarded by street performers and tourist crowds every morning. I stayed on the third floor and honestly, the view from my window looking over the lower part of Śródmieście was way better than I expected. The room was quiet too, which surprised me given how central it is. I’d read somewhere that rooms facing the courtyard are worth requesting if you’re a light sleeper – the street side can get a bit lively in the evenings, especially during summer when the restaurants and bars are hopping until late. The bed was comfortable, not fancy hotel-chain luxury or anything, but the kind of sleep where you don’t wake up with a stiff neck, you know? And the breakfast setup in the small dining area downstairs felt genuinely local – there was this older Polish couple having their morning coffee while reading the paper, which made the whole experience feel less touristy than some places.

What really sold me on Śrutowa Royal Residence was actually the check-in process. The owner – I think his name was Marek – spent about ten minutes just chatting with me about good places to eat that weren’t overrun with tourists. He recommended this little spot on Kazimierza Wielkiego Street that serves the most incredible żurek, and honestly, it was one of the best meals I had the entire trip. Parking’s a bit tricky if you’re driving, but there’s a garage about three blocks away that’s reasonably priced – just don’t try to park right on Śrutowa Street during market days. The WiFi worked perfectly, which I always appreciate when I’m trying to upload photos, and there’s this cute little sitting area in the front where you can just hang out with a coffee and watch people walk by. I’d definitely stay here again, especially since it’s walking distance to basically everything but still maintains this peaceful vibe that you really can’t find everywhere in the Old Town.
