DOKI Living & Foodhall by Downtown Apartments Overview

I recently stayed at DOKI Living & Foodhall by Downtown Apartments and, honestly, it’s the kind of place that feels like a quiet secret in the middle of Gdańsk’s bustling heart. The building itself is a sleek, modern façade on 26 Popiełuszki, but once you step inside, it’s all about that warm, almost homely vibe you only get when a hotel really knows its city. The lobby is bathed in natural light—think large windows that frame the Motława river—and the scent of freshly baked rye bread from the on‑site foodhall drifts in, making you feel like you’re already part of the local breakfast scene. Check‑in was a breeze, too; a self‑service kiosk let me skip the little line that usually fills the front desk, and a friendly staff member was quick to hand me the key card and point me to the elevators. Parking is no hassle either—there’s a small underground lot right out front, and if you’re a street‑parking fan, you’ll find a few spots just a block away on Popiełuszki itself.

The rooms at DOKI Living & Foodhall by Downtown Apartments are surprisingly spacious for a 4‑star pad, with a minimalist design that feels more like a loft than a typical hotel room. I mean, the light‑colored walls and concrete accents are totally on‑trend, but they’re balanced by a soft, chunky rug that makes you want to curl up in the corner with a book. The bed? A king‑size mattress that’s softer than my old couch but with the right amount of spring—perfect after a day of wandering the cobblestones. The bathroom is a clean, glass‑shaped space, and the shower’s water pressure is strong enough to wash away the salty sea‑air from the river promenade. The only downside for me was the little buzz of traffic at night—there’s a bar on the corner of Popiełuszki that gets loud around midnight, but the building’s walls keep most of the clatter from seeping into the room.

What really makes this place shine is how it plugs you into the city without feeling like a tourist trap. I strolled down to the nearby Długi Targ just 10 minutes away, and the market stalls were already buzzing with locals buying fresh fish and pierogi. The next block is the historic St. Mary’s Church, where the bell tower’s echo carries across the square. And if you’re into history, the Solidarity Museum is a short walk from the hotel—no kidding, it’s literally on the same street. After a day of sightseeing, I headed back to the foodhall to grab a bowl of warm soup; the chef there mixes spices that remind you of the Baltic Sea’s brine and the warmth of a

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.

  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.

• 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!
