Apartament Old Town Długa Overview

Apartament Old Town Długa felt like a breath of fresh air the moment I stepped out of the car, parked just a block from Dluga Street—no parking nightmare, just a quick, quiet drive into the heart of Gdańsk. The front door opens onto a tiny, sunlit lobby that smells faintly of fresh polish bread (I think it’s the bakery on Motława that sends that scent through the windows). Check‑in was smooth; the staff greeted me with a friendly “Witamy,” and I got a keycard that even looked like a piece of art, with a tiny map of the old town etched on it. They handed me a quick map of the neighborhood (you know, the little streets like Ulica Gromada and the crossing near the Gdańsk Crane). Honestly, the vibe here is like a quirky hostel but with a full apartment, so you get your privacy without the “kitchen over the bed” drama.

The apartment itself is a cozy, 30‑square‑meter space that feels more like a home than a hotel room. The bed has that mattress that’s not too firm, not too soft—just right for a night of sleep after a day of walking. The kitchenette is surprisingly well-equipped: a small refrigerator, a single burner, a microwave, and a kettle for tea. I found a local Polish bagel, freshly baked, on the counter as soon as I unpacked, and the smell of it made the place feel even less like a hotel and more like a local’s place. The bathroom’s shower is a bit small, but it’s hot and the water pressure is decent; the only critique is the tiny towel rack that barely holds a towel and a washcloth—just a minor quibble. Noise-wise, the apartment is quiet, but you can hear the distant murmur of the city: the chatter of tourists near St. Mary’s Church, the occasional honk from the street stalls by the pier. It’s not a sleep‑disrupting soundscape; it’s Gdańsk’s heartbeat.

When I stepped out, the city was already alive. I walked past the famous Gdańsk Crane, the air smelled of sea salt and the faint scent of pierogi from a stall on Dluga Street. I took a detour to the nearby St. Mary’s Church—its spire is visible from the apartment, a lovely sight in the early morning light. I even made a quick detour to the neighborhood market on Trzech Króli, where I bought some local cheese and a bottle of Polish white wine. The best part? The hotel staff actually handed me a list of hidden gems: a small café on Młynarska Street that serves the best bitter coffee, and a quiet by the Motława River for a sunset stroll. They also mentioned that the peak season is late July; if you’re planning to stay then, I’d say book early, because the city gets bustling. But if you’re looking for a quieter experience, the winter months are perfect—especially around Christmas when the streets are lined with lights and the city feels like a fairy tale.

In short, Apartament Old Town Długa is a solid choice if you want a home‑like stay in the middle of Gdańsk’s historic charm. It offers the privacy of an apartment, a touch of local flair, and a staff that actually cares about your experience. The only downside is the tiny towel rack, but that’s a tiny price to pay for the convenience and authenticity. I’d definitely recommend this spot for anyone who wants to feel really embedded in the city, rather than just another tourist checkpoint.
