Bastion Wałowa City Center by Downtown Apartments

Bastion Wałowa City Center by Downtown Apartments Overview

Bastion Wałowa City Center by Downtown Apartments sits at 25 Wałowa, right smack in the middle of Gdańsk’s buzzing old town. I walked up the cobblestone steps after a long flight, the smell of freshly baked pierogi drifting from the corner bakery on Jagiellońska. The lobby is surprisingly airy, with a pop of Mediterranean tiles that make you feel like you’re in a seaside villa rather than a city hotel. Check‑in was quick—no long lines, just a friendly front desk staff who handed me a local map with handwritten notes about the best tram stops. I remember the keycard was a sleek metal strip that slid into the room door, and the night I stayed in a two‑queen room, the quiet was almost radio‑silent, except for the occasional distant honk from the Motława river traffic.

The rooms themselves feel like a cozy apartment. The bed is a solid 2‑mattress king that was super plump, and the linens were crisp—no cheap polyester vibes. Some nights you can hear the city’s nightlife through the walls, especially on Saturdays when the bars around the St. Mary’s Basilica get loud, but I didn’t mind. The minibar was decent, though the coffee machine was a bit slow, so I ended up grabbing a latte from the café on Puławska Street. The bathroom had a rain shower that made the whole space feel a bit spa‑like, and the small balcony offered a view of the old town’s lantern lanterns. Oh, and parking? There’s a small paid lot nearby that’s easy to access, but if you’re staying during the summer, expect a lot of street parking and a bit of a hunt for a spot.

I walked out of the hotel at sunset and the city was alive: the Gdańsk Crane was glowing, and the sound of people chatting in Polish filled the air. The hotel’s Wi‑Fi was a bit spotty in the evenings, but I managed to stream a movie on my phone without any hiccups. It’s not a fancy boutique place, but it’s practical and feels like a home base. If you’re looking for a place that’s close to the old town, has good room quality, and doesn’t feel like a corporate hotel, Bastion is a solid pick. The rating of 9.3 is definitely justified—there’s a lot of charm that you only notice after a few nights. You’ll feel the real vibe of Gdańsk, and that’s the best part.

Gdansk hotels provide guests with comfortable accommodations in Poland’s maritime capital, known for its rich amber trade history and Solidarity movement heritage.

• Youshen from Netherlands – 4 April 2023 (7/10)

  Neat and clean, great location.
  
  What could be improved: The staff were not very pleasant to deal with.

• Luis from Spain – 5 October 2022 (4/10)

  Very clean and modern apartment. Comfortable bed. Great location, perfect to explore the shipyard area and not really far from the city center and the main railway station.
  
  What could be improved: The first problem is the difficult and long process to get the apartment keys: you have to collect them in a different address which is not precisely close to the apartment. The instructions about how to connect to the wifi were wrong, better go to find the router. The blinds from the room were not working, so it was annoying with all the sunlight entering from the firsts hours of the morning, also it was very annoying because you have in front of another block of apartments, so the privacy is null. I contacted with them and firstly I received just a 'thank you' as answer, when I requested to come to fix it, they answered that they will let me know when they can come to do it, they never said anything more. In summary, an expensive price for a really poor service.

• Tipanová from Czech Republic – 15 July 2022 (9/10)

  What could be improved: It would be better if it were possible to pick up the room keys contactless directly at the place of stay.
