3-level apartment with a view of St Mary’s Basilica by Downtown Apartments Overview

3-level apartment with a view of St Mary’s Basilica by Downtown Apartments sits right on Szeroka, just a stone’s throw from the bustling market square in Gdańsk’s Old Town. I remember walking in on a blustery October morning, the bells of St. Mary’s Basilica ringing every hour like a metronome to the city’s rhythm. The front desk was open 24/7 – a lifesaver if you’re arriving late after a night of dancing in the bars around Gdańsk’s northern docks. I checked in in about fifteen minutes, the staff handing me a keycard and a handwritten note with the best local pierogi spots (Pierożki from Karczma Nowa, by the way). Parking is a bit of a hassle; there’s a small paid lot behind the hotel, but you’ll need a city permit or a parking app, and the spaces fill up fast during the summer. Honestly, if you’re not into the idea of hunting for a spot, I’d recommend a taxi or the tram that stops on Szeroka – it’s just a few stops away from the Krakowskie Przedmieście.

The apartment itself is a three‑story gem with a panoramic view of St. Mary’s Basilica. The living area is surprisingly spacious for a city apartment, with high ceilings that let the natural light flood in, especially when the morning sun slants down onto the old stone façade. I mean, the view of the Basilica’s spire against the sky is just… wow. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need – a full set of cookware, a coffee machine, even a small fridge for those midnight cravings. The bathroom is a bit more utilitarian, but the deep soaking tub is a real treat after a day of exploring the Motława River or the wooden streets of Gdańsk’s Jewish Quarter. The noise level is quite low, which is a surprise given the hotel’s proximity to the market square; the only sound you hear at night is the occasional distant honk of a taxi or the soft murmur of other travelers. The bed is comfortable, with memory foam sheets that make you feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud – perfect for recovering after a late night of visiting the Gdańsk Crane or the electronics market on Piotrkowska.

If you’re planning a trip, I’d say the best time to stay is late spring to early fall, when the streets are lively but not overwhelmed. During the peak summer months, the Old Town can get pretty noisy, especially around the bars on Ulica Szeroka, but the apartment’s windows are solid, so you’ll still get peace and quiet. I also discovered that the hotel’s laundry service is surprisingly quick – just drop your clothes in the sink, and they’ll be back in a few hours. If you’re a foodie, you’ll love the aroma of freshly baked rye bread wafting from the local bakery on 2nd Street nearby. The only critique I have is that the Wi‑Fi speed can be a bit slow during rush hour, but for most travelers, it’s more than enough for streaming a movie or catching up on emails. Overall, 3-level apartment with a view of St Mary’s Basilica by Downtown Apartments offers a genuine, comfortable stay that feels like a home away from home – and it’s hands down one of the best places to experience Gdańsk’s charm without the touristy fluff.

Reviews of 3-level apartment with a view of St Mary’s Basilica by Downtown Apartments

• Maggie from United Kingdom – 8 June 2025 (10/10)

  Great location with fantastic access to the old town, shops, bars and restaurants. Well equipped. Perfect size for 4 people, whether 2 couples or 4 singles.
  Super clean.
  
  What could be improved: An extra mirror near a plug socket would have been helpful so us four ladies could have dried our hair somewhere other than the bathroom.

• Peter from Australia – 15 May 2025 (10/10)

  It’s location
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Tamina from United Kingdom – 12 April 2025 (10/10)

  This place is 10/10 in every aspect. Location couldn’t be better, super clean and so nice interiors.
  The bedrooms are far enough apart to not hear each other – one bedroom has a ceiling window, so just keep that in mind for brightness in the morning. It’s quiet and the bathroom is incredible. All so clean, modern and stylish.

• Denise from United Kingdom – 20 February 2025 (10/10)

  Everything. So close to all restaurants
  
  What could be improved: Loved everything

• Matthew from United Kingdom – 5 January 2025 (10/10)

  Great location, really nice apartment as others have said the stairway doesn’t do the apartment justice.
  
  What could be improved: Just beware of the guy at No6. Really aggressive guy, we literally just got to the apartments around 8pm walked up the stairs to drop our bags off and then walked back down and he came out of his apartment shouting and swearing at us telling us ‘this isn’t a hotel’ I’m guessing he’s just pissed that his block now contains a holiday rental.

• Lisa from United Kingdom – 1 December 2024 (8/10)

  The apartments is very spacious and has everything you need for your stay. Rooftop views of the church were an added bonus. The apartment is in a great location for everything. Restaurants and bars a few minutes walk.
  
  What could be improved: The property is based in a residential block and the neighbours didn’t like you entering the building after 22:00. Even just walking up the stairs case.

• Isabelle from Sweden – 13 October 2024 (10/10)

  Absolutely beautiful apartment with a great view of the church. Everything was really clean and the apartment was planned really well, which made it nice to hang out as a group in it. Everyone in our group really loved the place and we would love to stay in the apartment again.

• Liz from United Kingdom – 8 December 2023 (10/10)

  The apartment was so well designed and furnished. It felt like a high-end hotel. And the location was incredible – so convenient to explore all of Old Town.
  
  What could be improved: The registration process. The Booking.com automated system kept removing the url link from the message from the apartment offices so I couldn't register. I had to phone them on the day, in country, which was inconvenient.

• Chris from United Kingdom – 8 October 2023 (10/10)

  Great location and excellent views in heart of city
  
  What could be improved: Clean, well equipped

• Sara from United Kingdom – 22 July 2023 (9/10)

  This is a lovely, spacious apartment in a great location.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment is on the 4th floor with no lift so it’s not easy to access with heavy luggage.
