DOKI Living by Blue Mandarin Parking & Foodhall

DOKI Living by Blue Mandarin Parking & Foodhall Overview

DOKI Living by Blue Mandarin Parking & Foodhall sits on a quiet block of Popiełuszki, just a stone’s throw from the old town’s cobblestones. I first walked past its sleek façade on a rainy Gdańsk evening, and the neon sign winked like a secret. The building is modern, but the lobby feels like a cozy living room with its warm wood paneling and low‑key art pieces that actually reflect the city’s maritime vibe. The check‑in was surprisingly swift – the staff knew exactly where the key was, and the digital kiosk let me skip the long line that usually forms at 18:00. Right after grabbing my key, I heard the faint hum of the city – the distant bells of St. Mary’s, the clatter of trams – a soundtrack that’s both comforting and alive.

Walking out onto the roof terrace was a revelation. The view of Gdańsk’s skyline, with the old town’s towers poking through the clouds, is something you can’t find in a brochure. I sat on a rattan chair, sipped a latte from the on‑site café, and watched the sunset spill amber over the Motława River. The terrace is quiet enough to hear your own thoughts, yet loud enough to feel the pulse of the city. Nearby, the Foodhall is a haven for foodies – a little maze of stalls selling pierogi, local cheeses, and artisanal breads. I bought a slice of rye bread, and the smell of fresh sourdough mingled with the aroma of smoked fish from the market next door – a sensory memory I’ll carry.

When it comes to the rooms, they’re a blend of simplicity and comfort. The bed is a cloud‑like mattress with breathable linens that feel like a gentle hug. I appreciated the small touches – a local map tucked into the nightstand, a tiny bottle of Gdańsk‑grown honey, and a set of soft slippers that looked like they could be worn on any street. The bathroom is sleek, with a rain shower that actually feels like a spa. The only downside was the noise from the street at the top of the block; a thin wall, but a small pillow could cushion that. Parking is a breeze with the on‑site garage – just a quick 30‑second walk to the lobby, no long queues. The hotel’s location is perfect for exploring the old town’s cobblestones, the bustling fish market, and the quiet cafés in the surrounding streets. Honestly, staying at DOKI Living by Blue Mandarin Parking & Foodhall felt like having a local friend’s apartment in the heart of Gdańsk, and that’s how I’d recommend it to anyone looking to soak up the city without the tourist‑shop glare.

Gdansk hotels provide guests with comfortable accommodations in Poland’s maritime capital, known for its rich amber trade history and Solidarity movement heritage.

  Location

• Claire from United States – 21 April 2025 (10/10)

  Everything

• Andrew from United Kingdom – 14 April 2025 (10/10)

  Beautiful and modern and extremely clean and had everything you need – like home from home! I read reviews that the construction noise was an issue but we barely heard a thing through the windows and slept really well! Excellent all round!
  
  What could be improved: I thought initially it could do with a full length mirror, but then realised you don’t….there are full walled mirrors in the corridor as you come out of the apartment! Excellent 👌

• Amina from Morocco – 24 February 2025 (10/10)

  Great apartment, good location, clean and the staff is very helpful!

  What could be improved: None

• Ilesha from Estonia – 16 December 2024 (9/10)

  – Very easy check-in instructions (arrived out of office hours)
  – Great location – very close to 2 major museums & a pleasant 15-minute stroll into the centre
  – The studio itself is awesome – brand new with a chic, cool and fun feel. Very well executed. Had everything you'd expect plus more
  
  What could be improved: Couple of minor things:
  – No bin in the bathroom
  – No tissue box in the studio
  – Dishwasher tablets are provided, however would be great if 1-2 laundry detergent capsules could also be provided
  – Would be great if there was a bedside table for each side of the bed (currently only on one side)

• Jonas from Sweden – 2 December 2024 (9/10)

  Clean and worth the price.

• Bianca from United States – 26 November 2024 (9/10)

  Beautiful apartments, great amenities
  
  What could be improved: I think the cost to utilize the parking garage is way too much. And it sounds dumb, but the excessive amount of codes to get in drove me crazy, but at least it was secure.

• Sean from New Zealand – 18 November 2024 (9/10)

  Location is in easy walk of Old Town and transport links. Also close to WWII Museum & Solidarity Center. Apartment was beautifully designed, great decor, full kitchen, and has washing machine. Staff were exceedingly helpful and communication was good. They received a delivery on my behalf and held it for a few days. There are small groceries, cafes, restaurants, and a food hall within a minute of the apartment.

• Evelina from Lithuania – 11 November 2024 (10/10)

  It was good place, good value, apartment is fully equiped for a short stay. Every city atraction is in walking distance.
  
  What could be improved: You need to pay for the parking space in the garage. They should highlight this information. We did not want to pay extra for parking so we found space in the abandoned feeld across the street where locals park. But it is just a minor inconvenience, everything else is perfect.
