Blue Raven Downtown Apartments

Blue Raven Downtown Apartments Overview

Blue Raven Downtown Apartments sits on Długa Grobla 8 35, tucked right into the heart of Gdańsk’s Old Town. I remember walking up the cobblestones, the sound of the tram rattling by, and the faint scent of salt from the Motława River drifting through the open windows of the building. The front door is surprisingly modern—sleek glass, a quick tap on your phone, and you’re in. The staff at the front desk are friendly, but they’re not the type to drone on about the city; they’ll point you toward the best spots with a nod and a “you’ll love it.” Parking is a bit of a hunt, though; the nearest spot is at the street level of the nearby Złota Street, and you might have to circle a few times if you’re there during peak tourist season. The noise at night is fairly low—just the distant hum of traffic and the occasional laughter from a nearby café—so if you’re a light sleeper, you’re good to go.

Inside, the apartment is a cozy, well-thought-out space. The living area opens onto a small balcony that looks out over the bustling Długa Street—perfect for sipping a latte in the morning while listening to the city wake up. The décor is a blend of local charm and contemporary comfort: a wooden table with hand‑painted plates, a small bookshelf filled with Polish literature, and a big, soft sofa that feels like a hug. The kitchen is surprisingly equipped—there’s a decent espresso machine, a slow cooker, and even a set of ceramic mugs with a witty Polish phrase on them. I’m not a chef, but I was able to whip up a quick pasta dish, and the stainless steel appliances were a lifesaver. The bathroom is spotless, with a rainfall shower that feels more like a spa than a hotel amenity. Honestly, the only thing that could use a tiny upgrade is the Wi‑Fi speed; it’s decent, but a bit sluggish when I’m trying to upload vacation photos in the afternoon.

What makes Blue Raven Downtown Apartments stand out is the little touches that hint at everyday Gdańsk life. There’s a stack of local newspapers on the kitchen counter, a map of the city with a few sticky notes in the margins, and a small basket of fresh pierogi that the house staff drops off on my arrival day—talk about a sweet welcome. The building’s proximity to St. Mary’s Church means you can easily wander in for a quiet moment and then step back into the apartment to enjoy a glass of local white wine. The only downside is the occasional echo in the hallway at 2 a.m.—it’s not a big deal, but if you’re super sensitive to noise, keep that in mind. Overall, I’d say Blue Raven Downtown Apartments is a solid 4‑star spot for anyone who wants to feel like a local, not a tourist, without paying for a luxury hotel. The rating of 8.9 rings true—comfort, charm, and a touch of authenticity that makes Gdańsk feel like home.

  The apartment was great for us. Everything we needed was nearby and it was only a few minutes walk to the old town. The host was nice, helpful and could fix what you asked. We would love to come again.

• Jacquesm3130 from Lithuania – 21 June 2024 (10/10)

  The host arrived at about same time than us to hand us the keys, explain everything needed in the apartment and inside parking. The apartment is perfect, well located and fully furnished with good equipments as well as a garage parking. Will repeat when going back to Gdansk.

  Really great modern apartment. Everything you will need is supplied. There's a small store in the block for food and drinks. It's a 15 minute walk to the Green Bridge. Jakub, the owner, was very responsive.

• Maciej from Austria – 15 September 2022 (10/10)

  New apartment build to very good standard with elevator and underground garage as well as a nice balcony. There are lot of running options nearby, in 5min walk there is a park with well equipped playground as well as outdoor gym. It is 10min walk to the city center. Lot of shops, bakery, takeway in nearest proximity.
  
  What could be improved: Apartment is not in the exact town center – small walk is needed. There are no views, building is brand new, but neighbourhood is quite neglected. Still overall many more positives than negatives.

• Ann from Norway – 22 July 2022 (10/10)

  Amazing apartment, looks great, comfortable, great location and air conditioning works like a charm! Convenience store in the same building and a short walk from town center. Would love to come back!
