ApartMate- Heart of Oldtown Apartment- sauna & security Overview

ApartMate- Heart of Oldtown Apartment- sauna & security sits at Panieńska 3, just off the cobblestones of Gdańsk’s historic core. I first spotted it while wandering around the Old Town Square, the building’s façade catching the late-afternoon light like a quiet postcard. The name itself feels like a promise: a cozy apartment smack‑in‑the‑middle of the city with a sauna and a security system that actually makes you feel safe (even if you’re not used to the old‑world vibe). You know what, I was surprised how welcoming the front desk was – a young woman who spoke a handful of English words and a few Polish phrases. Check‑in was almost instant; a keyless card was handed over after she glanced over my ID, and she took a moment to point out the elevator’s location and the nearest subway stop (the Gdańsk Stare Miasto station is just a two‑minute walk).

Honestly, the apartment itself feels like a modern loft with a twist of heritage. The living area is bright, with hardwood floors that creak a little when you walk in the dark. The kitchen is compact but functional – a single island with a stove, a fridge, and a small espresso machine that makes the best coffee after a day of exploring. I slept on a queen bed that, while not huge, was wonderfully soft. The bathroom is a highlight: a deep soaking tub and a separate shower that gives you the steam of a real sauna, thanks to the building’s dedicated sauna room. I took a midnight dip after a long day of visiting the St. Mary’s Basilica and the Gothic Crane – the steam was a perfect antidote to the city’s chill. The only gripe? The windows look straight into the street, so early‑morning train whistles from Gdańsk Main Station can rattle the blinds. But by 9 am, the city’s noise settles into a pleasant hum.

If you’re planning a trip, keep a few practical things in mind. Street parking is available on Panieńska, but it can get tight during the tourist season (late June to early September). The building offers a small paid parking spot, which is a bit pricey but convenient. During the quieter months, you can also stroll down to the nearby Żabianka Park and grab a coffee at the kiosk on Staszic Street – the aroma of fresh pastries and the distant sound of waves from the Baltic will set your mood. The sauna’s opening hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., so you can fit a relaxing session in after a day of walking the medieval streets or before a night out in the vibrant district of Motława. The staff are genuinely friendly; they even gave me a map of hidden cafés and a tip that the best pierogi in Gdańsk are at a little shop under the old bridge. All in all, ApartMate- Heart of Oldtown Apartment- sauna & security feels like a home base that blends the city’s historic charm with modern comforts, and it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for a place that feels like you’re living in the heart of Gdańsk rather than just staying in it.

Hotels in Gdansk offer visitors the opportunity to stay in the heart of this Baltic gem, with easy access to shipyards, museums, and coastal attractions.

  • Amrit from Norway – 1 May 2025 (9/10)

    Good location, good spacious. Perfect place. Nice rooms. Direct Sunlight amazing. Budget friendly

    What could be improved: No bathroom slippers, no shampoo, soap in bathroom, the hand wash and dish soap didnot produce foam, the main door lock opens 2-3 inch even its locked and didnot like the lock and no other keys to lock from inside. Missing Microwave in the room. ( The most Important one)

  • Wasana from Sri Lanka – 24 October 2024 (9/10)

    Everything

  • Māra from Latvia – 23 October 2024 (9/10)

    Nice location, safe, good interior, excellente communication.

    What could be improved: There could be a bit more plates, bowls and glasses.

  • Jiri from Czech Republic – 15 August 2024 (7/10)

    Perfect location near city centre. Accommodation is in new building with a balcony and a parking place in garage. Guy in reception was very helpful and friendly.

    What could be improved: Unfortunately clean of the apartment was nothing special. Looks very used. The bed in second room was absolutely non-comfy and small for two adults. Maybe good just for children. Bedclothes smelled a little stinky.

  • Cezary from Sweden – 28 June 2024 (7/10)

    Great location

    What could be improved: The kitchen supplies are limited, apartment is meant for 6 guest and you can hardly put together that many cups or plates of various types. It is recommended to replenish those. Contact with owners is limited.

  • James from United Kingdom – 12 April 2024 (9/10)

    Clean,spacious, fully equipped apartment within easy walking distance of train station,shopping areas.
    Security guards at entrance, who were warm and friendly every time we left or returned.
    Elevator to 2nd floor was a huge bonus after a day of walking around the beautiful city.

    What could be improved: Nothing to dislike about the apartment at all.

  • Julia from Poland – 28 December 2023 (9/10)

    Very recommended. Nice apartment close to the old town.

    What could be improved: Nothing

  • Rimantas from Lithuania – 27 July 2023 (8/10)

    I absolutely loved my stay at the Heart of Oldtown Apartment! The location was good, right in the heart of the historic district, making it convenient to explore all the attractions on foot. The apartment itself was beautifully decorated, cozy, and equipped with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay.

    What could be improved: While my overall experience was fantastic, I did find the Wi-Fi connection to be a bit spotty at times, which made it challenging to stay connected and get some work done. However, this minor inconvenience didn't overshadow the wonderful time I had exploring the city and enjoying the apartment's delightful ambiance.
