Comfort Apartments OldNova

Comfort Apartments OldNova Overview

Comfort Apartments OldNova sits on 3 Panieńska, right on the corner of that little cobblestone lane that locals call the “Back Alley of the Old Town.” I was there last summer, and honestly, it feels like a secret apartment block that you only discover when you’re strolling past the historic port without a guidebook in hand. The building itself is a two‑story brick structure that looks a little worn at the top, but the inside feels freshly painted and surprisingly modern. I mean, the kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher and a coffee machine that actually brews a decent espresso—something you can’t always find in a city like Gdańsk.

The first thing that caught my eye was the check‑in process. The front desk staff, a young woman with a bright smile, handed me a key card with a QR code. “No need for a long line,” she said, and I felt like I was getting a VIP pass to the city. There’s no passport‑style lock‑in like some hotels; you just scan the code on the wall and you’re good to go. Inside, the rooms are spacious, with a king‑size bed that’s super‑plush and a balcony that offers a view of the bustling Długi Targ—if you’re into that kind of vibe. The windows are double‑glazed, so the morning traffic from the nearby Kasztanowa street doesn’t drown out the sound of the harbor. And the air? It carries that salty sea breeze that reminds you you’re actually on the coast, not some inland suburb.

I stayed there during the peak of July, so you know what? The place was a little noisy at first, especially with the market stalls setting up before dawn. But the hotel’s soundproofing worked, and by the time I settled in, it was just the faint hum of a city that never really sleeps. Parking is a bit of a hassle because the street is narrow, but there’s a paid parking lot just a block away on Główna, and the staff can drop you a voucher if you’re staying long enough. The real perk for me was the little balcony that’s tucked between the building’s windows. From there, I could hear the clatter of the fishing boats at the pier and smell the fresh pierogi that the shop on Kasztanowa was selling. You can’t get that experience from a hotel in the city center.

When I wasn’t lounging in the living area, I explored the neighborhood. It’s easy to walk to the Old Town in 10 minutes—just follow the mosaic‑lined path that leads to St. Mary’s Church. The street café on Ujście, two blocks down, is a favorite among locals for their cold brew and the best apple cake in Gdańsk. And if you’re a night owl, the club scene on Motława is a few turns away, but you can just sit outside the hotel’s balcony and watch the city lights flicker. My only gripe? The Wi‑Fi, which was a bit spotty in the first few days, but the staff fixed it within a few hours. Overall, I think Comfort Apartments OldNova is a solid 4‑star pad that feels less like a hotel and more like a home you can rent for a month. It’s a place you’ll want to return to, especially after a day of exploring Gdańsk’s historic streets, because it’s comfortable, friendly, and just a stone’s throw from everything that makes this city so charming.

Reviews of Comfort Apartments OldNova

• Clémence from France – 22 April 2025 (10/10)

  Excellent emplacement, tout près de toutes les attractions (ville historique, quais, chantiers naval, musées…) et de la gare. Appartement spacieux et confortable, très bien équipé, et très calme la nuit. Le personnel de sécurité à l’accueil est très sympathique et la communication avec l’agence qui gère l’appartement excellente.

• Kamila from Poland – 13 April 2025 (10/10)

  Apartment was very bright, modern and clean. Hot radiator in the bathroom and washing machine was very useful, allowing to do washing and dry it quickly. Internet connection was fast. Location perfect, short walk to Motława river, plenty restaurants and excursions. Building has very friendly and helpful security staff. Communication with Comfort Apartments super easy.
  Highly recommended.

• Rydz_pl from Poland – 24 February 2025 (9/10)

  Apartament ulokowany w znakomitym miejscu. Do atrakcji bardzo blisko. Do sklepów też bardzo blisko. Sam apartament rewelacja. Przestrzenny i wygodny.
  
  What could be improved: Jedyne do czego można się przyczepić to okamieniowa słuchawka prysznica, okamieniona bateria przy zlewie w łazience, ruszający się kafelek pod prysznicem. Pojemniki na mydło/płyt do mycia naczyń mogły by być wymienione, bo już nie wyglądają atrakcyjnie. Są to drobnostki, dlatego polecam apartament 🙂

• Katarzyna from Poland – 1 January 2025 (10/10)

  Bardzo ładny i gustownie urządzony apartament, idealny na pobyt dla rodziny. Super okolica, bardzo blisko centrum, wszędzie można szybko dotrzeć na piechotę, parking w podziemiu.

• Peteris from Latvia – 1 July 2024 (9/10)

  Very good location – quiet during the night, good parking.
  Only 5-10 minutes of walking and you're in Old Town, by the Canal or at the fresh fruit market.
  
  What could be improved: Nights were quite hot and no air conditioning.

• Edvinas from Lithuania – 25 October 2023 (9/10)

  What could be improved: Check in is only in their office with strict hours. It is located in the center and there is no parking places around.

• Kristina from Lithuania – 26 December 2022 (9/10)

  Great location. Everything is walkable distance- old town, II World War museum, shopping mall, night club. Also, a huge advantage is a private underground parking. We stayed 4 people- sofa bed was quite comfortable. Kitchen has all utensils.
  
  What could be improved: It was a little bit confusing to find a key pick up location address. It seemed that only one guy in the office speaks English. In addition to that, the property has a shared sauna in the underground parking- but you couldn’t use it, as the property owner does not have agreement with house admissions in regards this question. For the sauna lover- it was a disappointment.

• Sigrid from Denmark – 2 October 2022 (10/10)

  Very nice and clean

• Tom from Canada – 7 September 2022 (6/10)
