ApartMate- Heart of Oldtown Apartment- sauna & security Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to ApartMate- Heart of Oldtown Apartment- sauna & security on Panieńska Street, you immediately get that “I’m in the right place” feeling. This four-star property sits right in the thick of Gdańsk’s Old Town, and I mean literally — you’re surrounded by those gorgeous colorful merchant houses and cobblestone streets that make this city so special. The building itself has that perfect blend of historic charm and modern updates, which honestly sets the tone for what you’ll find inside.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about location — everyone says theirs is great, but this one actually delivers. You’re maybe a two-minute walk from the famous Neptune Fountain and Main Town Hall, and the Motława River waterfront is right there when you want to grab dinner or just wander around. I’ve stayed in places that claim to be “centrally located” but still require a trek to get anywhere interesting — that’s not the case here. Couples seem to get this especially well, rating the location 9.6, and after spending time in the area, I totally understand why.

The Apartment Experience

What sets this place apart is that you’re getting an actual apartment rather than just a hotel room. There’s something really nice about having your own space to spread out, especially if you’re staying more than a night or two. The sauna is honestly a game-changer after a day of walking around the Old Town — and trust me, you’ll be doing plenty of walking. The security aspect isn’t just marketing speak either; you actually feel safe here, which matters when you’re in an unfamiliar city center.

Practical Perks

One thing that surprised me was the parking situation — they actually have private spots available on-site. If you’ve ever tried to park in a European old town, you know this is basically like finding gold. Most places either don’t offer it at all or charge ridiculous fees for some garage that’s still a 10-minute walk away. The fact that it’s right there removes one of those travel headaches you don’t think about until you’re circling the block for the third time with your luggage in the back.

Why Guests Love It

Look, there are plenty of places to stay in Gdańsk, but this one gets the balance right between location, comfort, and those little extras that actually matter. You’re not paying for unnecessary frills, but you’re also not sacrificing the things that make a trip memorable. The 8.4 rating reflects what I experienced — it’s genuinely good without trying to be something it’s not. When you can walk out your door and be immediately immersed in one of Poland’s most beautiful historic districts, while knowing you have a comfortable, secure place to return to, that’s pretty much the sweet spot for city travel.

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)

  • Olha from Norway – 12 March 2025 (9/10)

    The apartment is cozy. Great location and nice sauna

    What could be improved: Not fresh linens, lots of dust under the bed

    Apartment location was central only a short walk to market and main attractions.

  • 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.
