Apartamenty Szafarnia Old Town

Apartamenty Szafarnia Old Town Overview

Apartamenty Szafarnia Old Town is tucked into a narrow alley behind the historic St. Mary’s Church, and honestly, the first thing that hits you is how charmingly cramped the entrance feels—like stepping into a storybook where the pages are a little too tight. I was lucky enough to snag a late check‑in, so the staff gave me a quick tour of the lobby before I could even settle into my room. The lobby itself is a mix of old brick and new glass; it’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger over a coffee at the tiny café that sits on the corner of Szafarnia and Rękawa. The room was a clean, airy space with a window that looked out onto the cobblestone streets of the Old Town. The bed was comfortably cool—perfect for the July heat—but the bathroom, while spotless, felt a bit cramped, so if you’re traveling with a lot of luggage, you might want to bring a lightweight bag.

You know what, the sound of the Motława River crashing against the old warehouses is a soundtrack you can’t miss. I spent the early afternoon wading through the streets, the wind carrying the scent of fresh pastries from a bakery on Święty Marian Street and the distant hum of the city’s nightlife. The nearest coffee shop is just a two‑minute walk away on Szeroka, and if you’re into street art, you’ll find murals that pop up along the lanes near Złota. After a day of exploring the Gdańsk Crane and the Maritime Museum, I came back to the hotel to find the Wi‑Fi was a bit spotty—especially in the older wing—but I managed to upload a few photos before the signal finally clicked. Parking is a bit of a hassle: there’s a paid lot behind the hotel, but you can usually snag street parking a block or two away if you’re willing to walk a few minutes. The noise level is pretty good, except for the occasional traffic roar at night, but the building’s thick walls keep most of it out.

When I mentioned the check‑in process to my buddy, they laughed because the front desk is a bit formal, but the staff are genuinely friendly. I mean, the receptionist handed me a key card and a local map in a hand‑written note, which was such a nice personal touch. The hotel’s 4‑star rating (8.6, to be exact) is justified, but there’s room for improvement—especially the room’s tiny wardrobe; a larger closet would be a game‑changer. The only real downside, aside from the cramped bathroom, is that the building’s age means some of the older floors have a little bit of dust that you’ll notice if you’re a stickler for spotless floors. Still, the overall vibe is cozy, and the staff’s willingness to help you find the best spots in town—like that hidden pier where you can watch

Reviews of Apartamenty Szafarnia Old Town

• Martyna from Poland – 1 June 2025 (9/10)

  Doskonała lokalizacja. Przestronny apartament z bardzo dużym tarasem, sporo miejsca do przechowywania,dużo szaf. Duża łazienka z wanną. Przyjemny basenik z ciepłą wodą. Bardzo pomocny personel. Taras od strony zadbanego ogrodu, cichutko i spokojnie.
  
  What could be improved: Dosyć ubogie wyposażenie kuchni- jeden mały nóż i jeden do chleba, pojedyncze sztućce, brak otwieracza ,korkociągu do wina.Dla osób gotujących może to być problem, dla pozostałych żaden, bo w sąsiedztwie roi się od knajp,kawiarni,restauracji

• Magdalena from Poland – 26 May 2025 (9/10)

  Polecam. Wszystko ok.

• Ignacio from Norway – 18 July 2024 (5/10)

  Close to the most by feet.
  Easy check in.
  Pool and sauna.
  Lift/elevator.
  
  What could be improved: WiFi doesn’t work. For the second time we was there.
  There was missing some cups since we were four and there were just for 3 persons. Towels were not shower towels, only handtowels and they didn’t seem clean, had some stain on them.

• Adham from Norway – 31 October 2023 (5/10)

  The location and the swimming pool
  
  What could be improved: No internet connection, the bed was not comfortable, no extra bed for the kid

• Pawel from United Kingdom – 14 September 2023 (9/10)

  Apartment is in great location. The facilities are great and Sara provided all the necessary information.
  
  What could be improved: The security person was a pain in the backside, we weren't even able to sit on the balcony and talk as he would come out every 10 min and tell us off. I understand that there is a quite time but it was a Saturday night and you would expect some people to have a drink and talk.

• Anna from Ireland – 1 September 2023 (7/10)

  Location, swimming pool access, spacious apartment, early check in facilitated by the host.
  
  What could be improved: Apartment needs some more maintenance. Dirty dishes in the kitchen cupboard, the kettle did not work.

• Urszula from United States – 16 August 2023 (7/10)

  Breakfast was not applicable.
  
  What could be improved: Owner could have provided some coffee creamers dont think it's that expensive to offer for guests.

• Gaurav from Sweden – 13 August 2023 (1/10)

  What could be improved: The apartment was dirty. The floor had crumbs all over, the toilet was dirty with spots/hair, the cutlery was dirty in the drawer, the bedsheet was torn etc etc. Overall, it was an unhygienic place & not all worth the money. I moved out right after the checkin to another place.

• Pramitdash from Germany – 2 July 2023 (7/10)

  The location of the apartment was great with the city centre at 10 mins walking distance. The apartment was also good with basic necessities one might need for a short stay.
  
  What could be improved: Like other reviews have mentioned the bed was very uncomfortable and the Lattenrost was broken. We were traveling with our senior parents and they could sleep well at all. The sofa bed was also dropping and the pillows were old and lumpy.
  There is a swimming pool in the complex but it has a limit of 20 people. So if you want to use it be prepared for several trips down there to finally get a spot.

• Timothy from Sweden – 24 July 2022 (8/10)
