Bastion Wałowa City Center & Parking by Downtown Apartments

Bastion Wałowa City Center & Parking by Downtown Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Bastion Wałowa City Center & Parking by Downtown Apartments on Wałowa Street, you immediately get that “I’m in the thick of it” feeling. This four-star property sits right in the heart of Gdańsk’s Old Town, and I mean really in the heart — you’re basically steps away from everything that matters. The building itself has this solid, reassuring presence that fits perfectly with the historic neighborhood around it.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s what I love about this spot — you can literally walk to the Main Town Hall, St. Mary’s Church, and the famous Long Market in under five minutes. I’ve stayed in plenty of places that claim to be “centrally located,” but this one actually delivers. The Motława River waterfront is right there, which means evening strolls along the medieval harbor become part of your daily routine. You know what’s even better? Couples seem to absolutely love this place, and honestly, I can see why — there’s something romantic about being surrounded by all that Gothic architecture.

The Apartment Experience

The apartment setup here is what sets this place apart from typical hotel stays. Each unit feels like you’re borrowing a friend’s well-appointed city pad rather than checking into some sterile hotel room. The spaces are thoughtfully designed with modern touches that don’t clash with the historic setting — think clean lines and contemporary furnishings that actually complement the old-world charm outside your windows. The kitchen facilities mean you can grab fresh ingredients from the local markets and cook if you want, though honestly, with all the incredible restaurants nearby, you might not bother.

Parking in the Old Town

Let me tell you something that’ll save you a massive headache — finding parking in Gdańsk’s Old Town is usually a nightmare. Most places either don’t have it or charge you an arm and a leg for some sketchy spot blocks away. But this place? They’ve got free private parking right on site. I mean, that alone probably saves you 20-30 euros a day and eliminates the stress of circling narrow medieval streets looking for a spot. It’s one of those practical perks that you don’t fully appreciate until you need it.

Why Guests Love It

The combination of authentic local living and prime location creates something special here. You’re not just visiting Gdańsk — you’re actually living in it for a few days. Morning coffee on your way to the Neptune Fountain, afternoon wandering through the Amber Museum, evening drinks along the riverfront — it all flows naturally when you’re this centrally positioned. The 9.3 guest rating speaks for itself, but what really sold me was how the place manages to feel both historic and completely modern. You get the romance of staying in one of Europe’s most beautiful medieval cities without sacrificing any of the comforts you actually want.

  Immaculately clean and finished to a great standard , well equipped, felt very secure and safe , only a short walk from old town
  
  What could be improved: Trying to locate the right parking spot was a challenge and never found one of the bays – notification was 149 ? Was that a typo ? Also washing up liquid dishwasher tablets obscured behind bins

• Ganna from United States – 22 August 2024 (10/10)

  I had a fantastic stay at the apartments!
  The quality of the place really surprised me—everything was new and very clean. The apartment had all the necessary amenities, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything I needed.
  The location was also great, just a short walk to downtown, and only a minute away from a food court with lots of restaurants and bars, which was very convenient.
  The free parking space in the garage was a rare find for a downtown location and a big plus.
  The staff were also very friendly and helpful, even after regular working hours.
  Overall, I was very pleased with my stay and would definitely recommend these apartments to others!

• Nele from Finland – 20 March 2024 (10/10)

  The location is excellent and communication with the host is smooth. The apartment is very beautiful and clean. We were very satisfied and would definitely stay there again when coming to Poland.
  
  What could be improved: Not a single bad word to say.

• Oksana from Ukraine – 29 August 2023 (9/10)

  Very clean and well equipped apartment. Good location near the centre but rather quite. Big food court is nearby. Easy way of self check-in and check-out.
  
  What could be improved: Difficult to get in touch with stuff: office phone is almost unavailable and they take a long time to answer the questions in the chat on booking platform. Check-in and check-out instructions received via booking platform chat and via direct e-mail are different that causes some confusions.

• Stefano from Sweden – 20 March 2023 (10/10)

  Excellent value for the money, the apartment is very new, has everything you would need and was spotlessly clean.
  
  What could be improved: Really nothing, everything was perfect

• Jovita from Lithuania – 17 August 2022 (10/10)
