Apartament Oliwa

Apartament Oliwa Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Apartament Oliwa on Obrońców Westerplatte, you immediately get the sense this isn’t your typical hotel experience. It’s tucked into the peaceful Oliwa district of Gdańsk, and honestly, the location alone makes it special — you’re close enough to the action but far enough from the tourist crowds that can overwhelm the main city center. The building itself has that understated Polish charm, nothing flashy, but you can tell it’s been thoughtfully maintained.

The Space

This four-star apartment setup really works well, especially if you’re traveling as a couple (which seems to be the sweet spot here based on what I’ve observed). The room feels more like a proper living space than a hotel crash pad — there’s actually breathing room, and the kitchen area means you can grab groceries from the local shops and prepare simple meals if you want. I mean, sometimes you just want coffee the way you like it, you know? The furnishings strike that perfect balance between modern and cozy, nothing too sterile or trying too hard to be trendy.

Location Perks

Here’s what I really appreciate about staying in Oliwa — you’re literally minutes from the famous Oliwa Cathedral and those gorgeous botanical gardens, but you can also hop on public transport and be in Gdańsk’s Old Town in about 20 minutes. The neighborhood has this residential feel where you’ll see locals going about their daily routines, which gives you a much more authentic taste of Polish life. There are some solid local restaurant options within walking distance too, places that aren’t necessarily in the guidebooks but serve excellent pierogi and regional dishes.

Practical Matters

The 9.3 rating honestly makes sense once you settle in for a day or two. Everything just… works. The Wi-Fi is reliable (crucial for staying connected), the parking situation is sorted if you’re driving, and the hosts are responsive without being intrusive. I’ve stayed in places where you feel like you’re bothering someone when you have questions, but that’s not the case here. The attention to detail shows up in small ways — good water pressure, blackout curtains that actually block light, and a proper workspace if you need to catch up on emails.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it manages to feel like a home base rather than just accommodation. Couples especially seem to gravitate toward it because there’s something romantic about having your own little Polish apartment, even temporarily. You can start your morning with coffee in your own space, spend the day exploring Gdańsk’s maritime history or wandering through Oliwa’s parks, then come back to decompress properly. It’s that rare find where the location rating of 9.6 isn’t just marketing fluff — you genuinely feel like you’ve discovered a perfect little corner of the city that most tourists miss entirely.

  nowy apartament, podobała mi się duża garderoba i ogrzewanie podłogowe, wygodna łazienka, dogodna lokalizacja, całkiem przyjemny apartament, gdyby nie kilka drobiazgów i silny zapach pościeli byłoby bardzo dobrze
  
  What could be improved: pościel pachniała niezwykle intensywnie środkami czystości, zapach był drażniący na tyle że przeszkadzal w spaniu, nie dąło się go wywietrzyć, kuchnia wyposażona niezwykle skromnie: dwa bardzo małe garnki i mała patelnia, bez pokrywek, podstawowe sztućce,miska i kubki, jeśli ktoś chciałby poszaleć w kuchni, to nie tutaj, przydałaby sie sól i pieprz, lekkie hałasy z uliczki w nocy, łóżką są dosyć wąskie jak dla dwóch osób i skrzypią, brak deski do prasowania i czegokolwiek do wytarcia podłogi, gdyby coś się rozlało
