Długa Boutique Apartment by Downtown Apartments

Długa Boutique Apartment by Downtown Apartments Overview

Długa Boutique Apartment by Downtown Apartments sits right on the cobblestones of Ulica Długa, just a stone’s throw from the bustling heart of Gdańsk’s Old Town. As soon as you step into the lobby, a faint scent of freshly baked rye bread from the bakery across the street wafts in, and the hum of trams rattling over the tracks below reminds you that you’re in the middle of a living city. The front desk is friendly but efficient; check‑in is quick, and the staff hand you a small map of the area with notes in Polish and English – a little touch that feels like a personal invitation.

The apartment itself is a charming mix of classic Polish decor and modern conveniences. The living room is surprisingly spacious, with a large window that frames a view of the motława River and the old stone arches that veer out toward the harbor. The beds are made with crisp linens that feel like a hug, and there’s a small balcony where you can sit at dusk and listen to the distant bells of St. Mary’s Church – the sound is almost therapeutic. There is a kitchenette that’s well stocked with basic staples: butter, cheese, a few sachets of coffee, and a kettle that boils in a flash. The bathroom is spotless, and the shower’s water pressure is just right, not too high to feel like a jet but enough to wash away the day’s grit. Honestly, the place feels like a home away from home, with little touches like a framed photo of the city skyline and a set of local art that you can’t find in any chain hotel.

Parking can be a bit of a hassle if you’re driving. The building has a small underground parking space, but it’s often full during the summer months when tourists flock to the Old Town. I found a spot a few blocks away on Szeroka Street, and the parking fee is moderate – about 20 PLN per day. If you’re staying in the off‑peak season, like late autumn, the streets are quieter, and you can even walk to the nearest metro station on Gdańsk Główny. As for noise, the apartment is relatively quiet after 9 p.m. The city’s nightlife is a bit distant, but you’ll hear the occasional footstep from the street below and the faint clatter of the underground tram during the day. If you’re a light sleeper, the blinds are thick enough to keep the early morning sun at bay, and the building’s older construction comes with a decent soundproofing.

When it comes to exploring, Długa Boutique Apartment by Downtown Apartments is a perfect hub. Just a three‑minute walk brings you to the bustling market on Cukierkowa Street, where you can grab a quick snack of pierogi and an espresso. If you’re in the mood for a bit of history, the Pomeranian Dukes’ Tower is a short stroll away, and the Old Town’s cobblestones feel like stepping back in time. For a more relaxed afternoon, head to the park by the Motława and let the wind carry the scent of the river. The locals love the small café on the corner of Długi and Gdańsk, where they serve the best mazurek cake you’ll ever taste.

All in all, Długa Boutique Apartment by Downtown Apartments feels like a slice of Gdańsk’s soul – not the polished “world‑class” vibe you find in the bigger chain hotels, but an authentic, lived‑in experience that makes you feel like a traveler rather than a tourist. The only real critique? The parking is a bit of a scramble during the bustling July, and the kitchen, while functional, could use a few more modern appliances. But honestly, those are minor nuisances compared to the overall charm and the honest, friendly service that welcomes you in. If you’re looking for a place that feels real, with a heartbeat that matches the city’s rhythm, this is the spot to book.

Hotels near me in Gdansk offer convenient access to the old town, where guests can easily walk to Neptune’s Fountain, St. Mary’s Church, and the famous Long Market.
