DOKI Living & Foodhall by Downtown Apartments

DOKI Living & Foodhall by Downtown Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking into DOKI Living & Foodhall by Downtown Apartments, you immediately get that this isn’t your typical hotel experience. It’s actually more like stepping into a trendy urban hub where locals and travelers naturally mix together. The whole concept revolves around this impressive foodhall on the ground floor — I mean, you can smell the amazing aromas before you even check in. The four-star property feels refreshingly modern without being sterile, and honestly, the energy here is just different from standard business hotels.

Location & Neighborhood

The location on Popiełuszki street puts you right in the thick of Gdańsk‘s most happening area. You’re literally steps away from the Old Town’s cobblestone streets, but also close enough to the newer dining and nightlife spots that locals actually frequent. What I love about this spot is that you can walk to the iconic Neptune Fountain in about ten minutes, yet you’re not stuck in the tourist bubble. The tram connections are excellent too — you know how important that is when you want to explore beyond the city center without dealing with parking hassles.

The Room Experience

The apartment-style accommodations here really make a difference, especially if you’re staying more than a night or two. Each unit comes with a proper kitchenette, which honestly saved me quite a bit of money during my stay. The design feels distinctly Polish modern — clean lines, warm wood accents, and these great big windows that actually open (something you don’t always get in newer hotels). The beds are genuinely comfortable, and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped.

The Foodhall Experience

Here’s where DOKI really shines — that ground-floor foodhall isn’t just a gimmick. You’ve got everything from traditional Polish pierogi to Asian fusion, craft coffee, and local craft beer all under one roof. I actually ended up eating there more than I planned because the quality was consistently good and the atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming. It’s particularly great in the evenings when local professionals stop by for drinks after work. The restaurant vendors rotate occasionally, so there’s always something new to try.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it bridges that gap between authentic local experience and tourist comfort. Couples especially seem to love it here — and I can see why, given how easy it is to have a romantic dinner downstairs then explore the charming Old Town streets. The staff actually knows the neighborhood well and can point you toward the less obvious gems. Plus, having that foodhall means you’re never stuck wondering where to grab a quick bite or a decent cup of coffee. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re living in Gdańsk rather than just visiting it.

To book hotel in Gdansk during the famous St. Dominic’s Fair season, visitors should make reservations well in advance as the city attracts maritime enthusiasts and history lovers from around the world.

• Magda from Poland – 23 September 2024 (9/10)

  Apartament naprawdę wygląda tak pięknie jak na zdjęciach 😍 Bardzo dobrze wyposażony i czysty. Lokalizacja troszkę dalej od starego miasta (około 15-20 minut spaceru), ale dla osób lubiących spacery to żaden problem. Byliśmy na weekend, więc budowa następnych bloków absolutnie nam nie przeszkadzała. Plusem było też zameldowanie o dowolnej porze, my przyjechaliśmy około 23.

• Martyna from Poland – 16 September 2024 (9/10)

  Wystrój

• Agata from Poland – 13 April 2024 (9/10)

  Cleanliness, easy access
  
  What could be improved: All was great 🙂

• Yonatan from Poland – 20 February 2024 (9/10)

  The silentness

• Filimon from Germany – 15 December 2023 (9/10)

  The apartment is made with a good sense of taste! Small but so pretty! We were a group of 4 girls and we really enjoyed staying there!
  
  What could be improved: If you’re going from the airport with a taxi make sure that they actually take the right address from you. Our experience in that sense was awful! But is not completely the property fault! Depending on which building you have the address can change a little bit!
