Apartamenty Stągiewna by Downtown Apartments

Apartamenty Stągiewna by Downtown Apartments Overview

Apartamenty Stągiewna by Downtown Apartments is tucked right on Stągiewna 15, smack in the middle of Gdańsk’s buzzing Old Town. I arrived on a Tuesday evening, the city still alive with the hum of tram wheels and the distant clink of beer mugs from a nearby pub. The lobby’s low ceiling and exposed brick gave off that cool, industrial vibe that feels more like a local café than a hotel. The front desk staff were quick to hand me a keycard, and the check‑in was painless—no long line, just a friendly smile and a quick scan. Parking was a bit of a hunt; the nearest spot is a paid garage on Gdańska Street, about a 5‑minute walk, but the city’s street parking is free after 10 pm, so you can just drop your bag off and head to the nearest café.

The apartment itself is a sweet mix of modern chic and cozy Polish touches. I was in the 2‑bedroom unit, and the living area is spacious enough to stretch out after a day of sightseeing. The floor-to-ceiling windows open onto a quiet corner of Stągiewna, and the view of the river is surprisingly unobtrusive—there’s no blaring traffic, just the occasional boat passing by. The kitchen is fully equipped, which is a lifesaver when you’re on a budget: a decent stove, a small fridge, and a coffee maker that actually works (no more lukewarm espresso). The bathroom has a rain shower and a good amount of space, which is a relief when you’re traveling with a friend and both of you need to get ready at the same time. I appreciated the extra pillows and the high‑quality linens—soft enough to feel like home but not too fluffy.

The real charm of Apartamenty Stągiewna by Downtown Apartments is its location and the little details that only a local would notice. From the balcony, you can hear the street musicians playing near the Old Town Square, and the smell of pierogi from a corner shop is almost a constant background. I took advantage of the free Wi‑Fi, which was strong enough for video calls—no lag, which is a big plus if you’re juggling work and travel. The building’s elevator is a bit slow, but you can always take the stairs, and the sound of the metal door slamming gives you that authentic city feel.

If you’re planning a trip during the summer, be aware that the area around the Motława River gets a bit noisy when the tourist crowds swell. The hotel’s soundproofing is decent, but you’ll still hear the occasional shout from a street vendor. On the flip side, evenings are generally calm, and the city’s nightlife is just a short walk away—there are plenty of bars along Gdańska and St. Marii streets where you can try local craft beer. The best time to book is early in the season (May to June) if you want a quieter stay; otherwise, the peak months (July and August) will bring more crowds and higher rates.

Honestly, the only real drawback was the lack of a gym. I was hoping for a quick workout after a day of walking, but the building only offers a small yoga mat in the lobby. If staying fit is a priority, you might want to look for a hotel with a fitness center. Other than that, the staff were friendly and helpful—one of the receptionists even gave me a map of the best hidden cafés in the Old Town, which was a nice touch. The overall vibe is relaxed, welcoming, and just the right mix of modern and local. I left feeling like I’d spent a week at a friend’s apartment rather than a hotel. If you’re headed to Gdańsk and want a place that feels like home, Apartamenty Stągiewna by Downtown Apartments is a solid choice.

  The apartment was clean, the bed very comfortable, the location – excellent. Despite being on a main street – it was quiet at night.
  
  What could be improved: Dark curtains do not fully cover the windows, and one can't tuck it, so the light is quite bright in the mornings.

• Andreea from Romania – 21 February 2025 (9/10)

  The clear check in instructions, the free candy at the reception, as well as the water / coffee / tea provided in the room.
  Everything was very clean and new, the location is great, very central, and we also liked the view over the street.
  
  What could be improved: I feel like the photos make it look more "wow" than in reality, by the photos I was expecting to be more surprised when we got to the apartment, but it was quite a normal hotel room, I would say.
