Apartament Olszynka Overview
First Impressions
You know what caught me off guard about Apartament Olszynka? The moment I pulled up to Kanałowa 14, I realized this wasn’t your typical hotel experience — and honestly, that’s exactly what made it special. This four-star apartment sits in one of those quiet residential streets in Gdańsk that locals actually live on, which means you’re getting an authentic slice of Polish life rather than the usual tourist bubble. The building itself has that understated elegance you find in well-maintained European neighborhoods, nothing flashy but clearly cared for.
Location That Actually Makes Sense
I mean, recent guests rated the location 9.7 out of 10, and after spending time here, I get why. You’re close enough to Old Town that a pleasant walk gets you to the main sights, but far enough out that you escape the crowds when you want to decompress. What I really appreciated was how this area feels like real Gdańsk — there’s a corner shop nearby where the owner remembers your face after two visits, and you’ll hear more Polish than English on the streets. Couples seem to love this setup especially, probably because it strikes that perfect balance between accessibility and intimacy.
The Space Itself
Walking into the room, I was struck by how thoughtfully everything was arranged. The kitchen isn’t just some afterthought with a mini-fridge — it’s actually functional if you want to grab groceries and make breakfast or a simple dinner. The living area flows naturally into the sleeping space, and there’s enough room to spread out without feeling like you’re camping in someone’s closet. Actually, the whole place has this lived-in comfort that makes you feel like you’re staying at a well-organized friend’s place rather than a sterile hotel room.
Practical Perks That Matter
Here’s something that’ll save you both money and headaches — there’s parking right on site, and it’s free. If you’ve ever tried to park in European city centers, you know this is basically like finding gold. The owners clearly understand what travelers actually need, not just what looks good in photos. Everything from the Wi-Fi to the shower pressure works exactly as it should, which sounds basic but honestly, you’d be surprised how many places get these fundamentals wrong.
Why Guests Love It
That 9.9 rating isn’t just numbers on a screen — it reflects how this place gets the details right without making a big show of it. You’re staying somewhere that feels genuinely Polish rather than generically European, but with all the comfort and cleanliness you want when you’re traveling. The combination of that residential neighborhood vibe with proper amenities creates this sweet spot where you feel like you’re experiencing the real city while still having a comfortable base to return to. It’s the kind of place that makes you consider extending your stay, not because there’s pressure to, but because you genuinely don’t want to leave.

Lokalizacja bardzo dobra. Właściciele pomocni i przyjaźni. Apartament przestronny i bardzo czysty, ma wszystko co powinien mieć. Działka bardzo duża, możliwość zorganizowania ogniska lub grilla. Idealne miejsce dla rodzin z dziećmi. Na pewno tam wrócimy 🙂
Oleksii from Ukraine – 28 November 2023 (10/10)
Everything was wonderful, I recommend it to everyone. absolutely no problems, we were greeted warmly, without prejudice, even at a late time. They also allowed us to check out a little later. The owners are very loyal and good-natured people, everything you needed was explained right away. Great choice, we really liked it
Aleks from Germany – 23 September 2023 (9/10)
Tolle Hausbesitzer, super cooles Haus für viele Familienmitglieder. Gute Ausstattung für Zeitverweihlen im Haus.
Tolle Lage, 15-20 Minuten zu Fuß zum Meer.Rafał from Poland – 15 September 2023 (10/10)
Bardzo przestronny Apartament, dla naszej ekipy 4 dorosłych + 4 dzieci miejsca aż nadto. Apartament ma na wyposażeniu wszystko co potrzebne podczas pobytu z dziećmi, a nawet i więcej. W łazience stołek, wanienka, nocnik. W kuchni kolorowe plastikowe talerzyki, miseczki, kubeczki.
W ogrodzie huśtawki, zjeżdżalnia, zabawki, więc dzieciaki zadowolone spędzały tam sporo czasu.
Bardzo dobre miejsce na pobyt nad morzem, apartament znajduje się w spokojnej okolicy, niedaleko wejście na plażę, restauracje, budki z lodami i goframi. Polecam wszystkim.Marta from Poland – 14 September 2023 (10/10)
Apartament zadbany, bardzo czysty, świetnie wyposażony. Właściciele przecudowni! Mili i pomocni. Okolica przepiękna, odległość do plaży/sklepów w sam raz. Gorąco polecam!
