Central Apartments Astoria 2

Central Apartments Astoria 2 Overview

Central Apartments Astoria 2 sits at 77/78 Długa, right where the Old Town’s cobblestones meet the Motława River – a spot that feels like the heart of Gdańsk, honestly. I first spotted it from the tram as the city skyline blurred past; the building’s façade, with its clean white walls and subtle balconies, almost looks like a postcard, but it’s actually a working hotel, not a museum. The check‑in was surprisingly swift – no long lines, just a friendly receptionist who handed me a key card and a quick map of the neighborhood. They even slipped me a small bottle of local amber beer as a welcome gift, which is a nice touch you don’t get at most chain places. I parked my car in the on‑site garage for a small fee, and the security was solid; no worries about the car being left out in the open.

When I opened my room door, the first thing that struck me was the view of the river – the gentle lapping of the water against the quay, the distant hum of traffic on the harbor road, and the smell of fresh fish from the nearby market. The room itself is a cozy blend of modern and traditional Polish décor: a plush sofa, a wooden desk that feels like it belonged in a 19th‑century home, and a small kitchenette with a kettle, a mini‑fridge, and a microwave. The bed was unexpectedly comfortable – the mattress offered the right amount of support, and the linens were crisp. The bathroom had a walk‑in shower with a decent water pressure, and the showerhead had a small, almost decorative, brass finish that reminded me of old Gdańsk architecture. The only minor gripe? The Wi‑Fi is decent, but the signal drops a bit near the ceiling tiles – you’ll need to move closer to the router, which is tucked away in a corner of the hallway.

Outside, the vibe is a mix of old‑world charm and modern hustle. Walking down Długa, you’ll find yourself surrounded by cafés that serve mouth‑watering pierogi and coffee that’s stronger than your usual brew. The street to the left leads straight to the St. Mary’s Church, and the bell tower’s chime can be heard echoing down the alleyways – it’s a soundtrack that you’ll get used to. If you’re looking for a quick bite, the food court in the adjacent shopping center offers everything from traditional Polish dumplings to a sushi bar, but I’d recommend stepping out to the small bakery on the corner for fresh rye bread. For a bit of culture, the Gdańsk Crane (Żuraw) is only a short walk away and offers a great photo opportunity with the river in the background. During the summer, the area buzzes with tourists, so it can get a bit noisy, especially around noon, but the hotel’s soundproof windows keep the room quiet enough to sleep through the night.

Parking is a plus – the on‑site garage is always available, and the price is reasonable for a city with limited street parking. The hotel also offers a small, well‑maintained garden where you can sit on a bench and watch the sunset over the Motława. As for the noise, the building is well insulated, so you don’t hear the trains passing on the nearby railway line, but you might pick up the faint chatter from the street café across the way. Overall, I’d say Central Apartments Astoria 2 gives you that authentic Gdańsk feel without the touristy gloss. It’s a place where the locals could live and the travelers could stay, and honestly, that’s exactly what it is – a comfortable, well‑located slice of the city that feels like a second home.
