Apartamenty Deo Plaza – Old Town by Rent like home

Apartamenty Deo Plaza – Old Town by Rent like home Overview

Apartamenty Deo Plaza – Old Town by Rent like home sits right on Chmielna, which is one of those streets that feels like it was carved out for tourists but still keeps its old‑town charm—think cobblestones, a few cafés that serve coffee so strong it could wake the dead, and that unmistakable smell of smoked fish from the nearby fish market. On the first night, I walked out of the building, and the street was still buzzing with street musicians and the clatter of scooters. Honestly, it felt like the whole city was humming a tune that only locals know.

The first thing you notice is the check‑in desk: it’s not a giant glass counter but a small, friendly desk with a staff member who greeted me like a long‑lost friend—no long lines, no robotic voice. The keycard was given in a neat plastic folder that also had a map of the Old Town with the best photo spots circled in red. I mean, that’s a small touch that makes you feel like you’re actually part of the community, not just a tourist. After that, the apartment was a mix of modern and traditional. The walls were painted a soft cream, and the floor was a warm walnut that creaked just a little when you walked—like an old house, but with the convenience of a hotel. The bed had that kind of down pillow that feels like you’re floating, and the sheets were crisp but not too stiff, which is key for those nights when you’re trying to recover from a late night in the city.

I spent a lot of time in the kitchen; it’s surprisingly spacious for a small apartment, with a full set of cookware, a kettle that boils in a minute, and a tiny fridge with a built‑in ice cube tray that actually works. I made myself a quick breakfast of toast and a cup of coffee—there’s a local café just a block away called “Kawiarnia Młyn” that serves the best latte, but the apartment’s own coffee maker is a lifesaver when you’re on a tight schedule. The bathroom was a clean, bright space with a shower that had a great water pressure but a small rain shower head that’s perfect for a quick rinse after a day of walking. The tiles were a classic white, and there was a small shelf that held a bottle of local honey and a jar of sea salt—nice touches you wouldn’t find in a chain hotel.

Parking in the Old Town can be a nightmare, but Apartamenty Deo Plaza – Old Town by Rent like home has a small, secure parking spot right outside the building that’s included in your stay. I parked my scooter in the back lot, and it was a relief to know it was safe and that I could get back to the apartment without having to search for a spot on the street. The noise level was decent; you could hear the distant traffic, but the building’s walls kept the hum at a manageable level. The only real distraction was the occasional street vendor selling fresh pierogi, which filled the air with a sweet, yeasty aroma that made me forget about the city’s usual hustle.

The best part, though, is the location. I was able to walk to the Royal Way (Ulica Królewska) within 10 minutes, and to the famous St. Mary’s Church in just 12. I also found a hidden gem—a small, family‑run bakery on Długi Targ that sells the most amazing rye bread, and the owner gave me a free loaf because I mentioned that I’d stayed at Apartamenty Deo Plaza – Old Town by Rent like home. If you’re staying during the winter, the building’s heating is robust, but if you’re there in the summer, the balcony gets a good amount of shade thanks to the old oak trees that line the street. The balcony itself is a small, practical space with a couple of chairs and a tiny table, perfect for sipping a glass of wine while watching the sunset over the city skyline.

All in all, staying at Apartamenty Deo Plaza – Old Town by Rent like home felt like having a home base in the heart of Gdańsk. The staff were friendly, the apartment was cozy yet functional, and the location was a perfect launchpad for all the city’s hidden treasures. If you’re looking for a place that’s not just a hotel but a part of the city’s everyday life, this is the spot to check out.

Reviews of Apartamenty Deo Plaza – Old Town by Rent like home

• Maria from Norway – 20 April 2025 (7/10)

  Location was perfect! Nice and open studioapartment.
  It came with a small start of toilet paper, paper towels, and dishwashing tablets.
  
  What could be improved: The bed would have been better with a mattress topper, as it was hard to sleep on without one. The floor/terrace (and glass on the terrace) could have been washed better. White socks got dirty quickly after arriving at the apartment. There were also two long hairs in the bedside drawer that were already there. The ventilation did not work well to cool the apartment, had to sleep with the window open.

• Анна from Poland – 1 July 2023 (8/10)

  Location is great. I’m in love with a terrace, however to get the river view, it’s better take another apartment in Deo Plaza ( I’ ve booked the “ jungle room” with a terrace showing city ). The room was clean.
  
  What could be improved: I think something is wrong with air conditioning, the temperature remained the same despite our struggles with thermostat.

• Agnieszka from United Kingdom – 15 April 2023 (7/10)

  stunning view of the property, lovely decor, breakfast amazing at a near by restaurant.
  
  What could be improved: 1. tap in the bath leaking from the top of the battery therefore water splashes on walls and around the vinyl floor, would recommend to look at it
  2. tap in the bathroom is moving and would mount that to the floor
  3. in the toilet no shelf around sink therefore soap is picked up for the floor rather than shelf
  4. all wall sockets, lights next to the bed coming off the wall, electricity hazard! would recommend mounting them to the wall

• Katie from Ireland – 14 February 2023 (8/10)

  Location was perfect . Great views from the window . Breakfast was good but limited options. Beds very comfy. Close to everything. Overall pleasant stay.
  
  What could be improved: Dirty cutlery, hair found on one of the forks,since it’s an apartment hotel the kitchen facilities weren’t great. Also the fridge barely worked, having type 1 diabetes I needed to keep my insulin in the fridge at all times but it was quite warm. No extra towels only with extra charge, no toilet paper.no proper shower only bath , couldn’t have a proper body shower as the bath was very low and all the water would go outside it, Over flooding the bathroom and only had 2 towels so no way to clean the floor.

• Jamie from Australia – 21 January 2023 (8/10)

  A great location in old town. Walking distance to many attractions. A new apartment with a beautiful view of the water which was spoiled by the noisy work being undertaken in the dock opposite. (Not the fault of Deo)
  
  What could be improved: There were some maintenance issues eg, cracked tiles in bathroom with exposed wiring from electrical socket which we reported immediately. I asked for toilet paper from the front reception but their response was stating they did not have any.

• Nikola from United Kingdom – 28 November 2022 (9/10)

  Beautiful interior, great heating, lovely lighting, friendly staff. Definitely would recommend this apartment the view of the city was amazing.
  
  What could be improved: The shower drain wasn’t working properly, it was impossible to have a shower without the bathroom flooding.

• Cherie from United Kingdom – 30 August 2022 (7/10)

  The views are amazing.
  Great location with so many bars and restaurants at your fingertips.
  We stayed in the Alice in Wonderland themed room which was quirky and fun.
  The reception staff were lovely and helpful and we managed to get an earlier check-in which was great.
  You are able to use the spa facilities at the Raddison for 70PLN. The spa is small but nice for a quick relax after a busy day.
  The sofa bed was easy to set up and pack down – both beds were firm (if you like a soft bed this isn't for you).
  
  What could be improved: The apartment could do with a little love and updates as it is getting a bit shabby round the edges.
  A couple of things would really help improve the space including a shelf in the shower and by the sink and bedside tables. Also a mirror in the bedroom (maybe on the wall by the table) – as the only mirrors in the room are in a small space behind the wardrobe (in the dark) or behind the sink, which you can't get round to so it wasn't suitable for 4 girls getting ready for a day/night out .
  
  As we stayed for 3 nights so the floor got dirty, but there isn't any cleaning facilities to keep onto of it.

• David from Norway – 6 August 2022 (9/10)

  Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location, super view. Super breakfast. Appreciate the fridge and the coffee machine.
  
  What could be improved: Expect a little noise (although not too much), there are restaurants in street outside.

• Rupse from Sweden – 18 July 2022 (8/10)

  Property is in a good location for families with small kids – as you are outside and inside at the same time. We enjoyed the view and plan to come back in winter.
  
  What could be improved: Personal was stingy to smile.

• Sandeep from Nepal – 3 July 2022 (8/10)

  Excellent location, river side view
  Clean comfortable apartment
  Old city at walking distance
  Nice restaurants everywhere and nearby
  Air conditioning was a plus
  
  What could be improved: No complementary water
  Windows could be only partially open, strange, when asked told it was hotel.policy so that visitor dont jump off.
  Really?
  Did some one jumped.off?
  Could have been perfect if windows could be opened so that it adds an extra to river side view
