Apartamenty Szafarnia Old Town Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Apartamenty Szafarnia Old Town on Szafarnia Street, you immediately get that “I’m in the real Gdańsk” feeling. This four-star property sits right in the thick of things — I mean, you’re literally surrounded by centuries-old architecture and cobblestone streets that tourists dream about. The building itself has that perfect blend of historic charm and modern updates that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled onto something special, not just another cookie-cutter hotel.

Location That Actually Matters

Honestly, the location here is pretty incredible — couples rate it a perfect 10, and after spending time in the area, I totally get why. You’re a two-minute walk from the famous Long Market and St. Mary’s Basilica, but here’s what the guidebooks don’t tell you: you’re also close enough to hear the hourly trumpet call from the tower, which sounds touristy but is actually kind of magical when you’re sipping morning coffee. The narrow streets around Szafarnia are lined with amber shops and cozy cafés that locals actually frequent, not just the tourist traps you’ll find closer to the main square.

The Apartment Experience

Each apartment feels more like staying in a friend’s well-designed place than a typical hotel room. The kitchen setup is actually functional — I’m talking full-size appliances and enough counter space to prep a proper meal if you want to skip the restaurant scene for a night. The windows are generous, and depending on which unit you get, you’ll either overlook the charming street life or catch glimpses of the historic rooftops that make Gdańsk’s skyline so distinctive. The Wi-Fi is solid (important for those work-from-anywhere moments), and the beds are comfortable enough that you won’t be counting sheep.

Practical Perks

What I really appreciated was how thoughtfully everything’s set up for actual travelers, not just Instagram photos. There’s decent parking nearby — which, trust me, is gold in Old Town Gdańsk where most streets barely fit a bicycle. The staff knows the neighborhood inside and out, so when you ask about the best pierogi spot or where to catch the sunset over the Motława River, you get real recommendations, not just the obvious tourist answers. The building stays quiet at night despite being in such a central location, probably because the walls are thick enough to muffle the occasional late-night revelers.

Why Guests Love It

You know what really sets this place apart? It’s that rare combination of being right where you want to be without feeling like you’re sleeping in a fishbowl. The 9.9 location score isn’t just marketing fluff — you can walk to everything worth seeing, but you’re on a quieter side street that lets you actually relax. Plus, having apartment-style space means you can spread out, do laundry, and live a bit more naturally instead of cramming everything into a tiny hotel room. It’s the kind of place where you start planning your return visit before you’ve even checked out.

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.
