Doki STARling Apartment

Doki STARling Apartment Overview

Doki STARling Apartment sits on the 4th floor at Księdza Jerzego Popiełuszki 22g, a stone’s throw from the bustling Gdańsk Old Town. I remember the first time I stepped into the building: the elevator was a bit slow, but the staff at the front desk were quick to greet me with a friendly “Cześć!” and a cup of espresso they made on the spot. They handed me a keycard and explained the laundry service—no, not in the lobby, but in a small communal room on the 5th floor, which was a bit of a walk but totally worth it. The building itself feels like a hidden gem: a narrow stairwell with a hand-painted mural of the Baltic Sea, and the smell of fresh bread drifting in from the bakery on Rue de la Pêche just around the corner. Honestly, I can still taste that rye on my tongue.

apartment is a cozy 30 square meters, but it’s all about smart design. The kitchenette has a small induction hob, a coffee maker that actually works (this is important, I mean, some places use the cheap ones that drip coffee everywhere), and a fridge that’s big enough for a few groceries—you’ll have to do a quick run to the local market on Świętego Tomasza Street to replenish. The living area is compact, yet the floor-to-ceiling windows spill light on the walls, making the space feel open. I was pleasantly surprised by the noise level: the street is lively during the day, but the apartment is surprisingly quiet at night—no street music, no car horns, just the gentle hum of the city. The only thing that can be a bit of a nuisance is the old elevator shaft that sometimes rattles when it’s full, but that’s all in the background of the city’s soundtrack. Check‑in was smooth; the front desk staff gave me a quick rundown of the Wi‑Fi password and told me that the connection can be a little spotty in the winter, so you might want to have a backup plan for streaming. The apartment’s Wi‑Fi is decent for browsing, but any heavy downloads will have to wait until the traffic ebbs.

If you’re looking to explore Gdańsk, you’ll find yourself right in the middle of the action. From the apartment, you can walk to Dluga Street in under ten minutes—just follow the scent of grilled fish from the port market, and you’ll hit the historic squares. For coffee, there’s a tiny café called “Kawa z Mieszkan” on Księdza Jerzego Popiełuszki that serves the best latte in town; it’s only a block away. Parking is a bit of a challenge because street parking is limited; the building does have a shared basement lot, but it fills up quickly during the tourist season. I ended up using a paid spot on the next block, which is fine, just a few minutes of walking. On the bright side, the apartment’s balcony faces north, so you’ll catch a gentle breeze and a view of the old town’s rooftops—especially beautiful at sunrise.

Overall, Doki STARling Apartment is the kind of place that feels like a home away from home. The staff are warm, the room is clean, and the location is a sweet spot for both day and night adventures. I’d rate it 9.7 out of 10, mainly because of the little touches that make a stay memorable—like the handwritten note from the front desk wishing you a great stay, or the extra set of towels that arrived a day early. If you’re planning a trip to Gdańsk, this place will be a solid base for your adventures—just remember to bring a small bag for your groceries and a spare key for the building’s little quirks. Happy travels!

Gdansk’s apartments offer spacious accommodations with Baltic charm, perfect for families wanting to experience daily life in this historically significant Polish coastal city.

• Kimberly from United Kingdom – 28 May 2025 (10/10)

  Beautiful apartment. Although it is a brief walk to the old town, it's in a redeveloping area that has some small grocery (convenience) stores and excellent food options (Montownia Food Hall) right outside your door. It's also just a few minutes' walk to the Solidarity Centre, an excellent museum to visit. The apartment was secure, spacious, and quiet and we had everything we needed. The a/c worked really well, very good to know for a visit in the summertime.
  
  What could be improved: The only thing I would change is the mattress on the bed – it is quite soft and I think a little bit firmer would be better. However everything else about the apartment is fantastic.

• Aksana from Poland – 21 May 2025 (10/10)

  Świetny kontakt z właścicielem, super lokalizacja, bardzo dobrze wyposażony apartament we wszystko co potrzeba. Przytulnie i komfortowo. Bezproblemowe wejście na kod. W mieszkaniu jest cicho, nie słychać odgłosów od sąsiadów. Polecamy pobyt w tym pięknym apartamencie:)

• Sara from United Kingdom – 9 December 2024 (10/10)

  Everything was amazing. Big thank you to Joanna she was a little diamond!! Apartment was top spec. Beautifully furnished, extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Cosy,warm and inviting. Lots of room, top of the range everything!!
  The apartment is literally steps away from a food court with many choices of cuisine, yet not noisy in the slightest. 15 minute walk into the beautiful city where you can also find delicious food in beautiful settings at amazing prices. Felt very safe walking around even at night! Shops are close by for any essentials you may need. Can't praise this location enough or the apartment itself. Electronic entry, no keys to lose! Had the best time, couldn't fault a thing. Would highly recommend!! Thanks to all involved with our stay.( Especially Joanna).
  
  What could be improved: I honestly can't think of any negatives.(I promise this is not a paid review, although reading it back it sounds like it lol).

• Roman from Estonia – 21 July 2024 (10/10)

  Beautiful apartments, great location near by food hall and city center. Everything you might need is there, including extra toilet paper, hygienic things and cleaning aids. If the nights are hot for you, you can use AC. Patio worth an extra attention. The district is great, but it self.
  
  What could be improved: There property is great no doubts, but be ready for a nearby construction going on (the doki district is still in development), didn’t bother us a lot though, but still.

• Max from Ukraine – 20 July 2024 (9/10)

  Staying at the apartment was comfortable. The apartment was equipped with everything necessary for three people – 2 adults and 1 child. Everything was clean, tidy, and there were enough dishes. The apartment has pots and pans to cook your meals. There is a Żabka store in the building where you can buy groceries. Across the street is the Food Hall, where you can also enjoy delicious food in a great atmosphere. You can relax both outside and inside. The apartment has air conditioning, which is very helpful on a hot day. Also, it takes only 15 minutes walking to the Old City or to the Train Station. We liked everything and will definitely come back.
  
  What could be improved: The building is new, and both inside and around it, there are ongoing renovation and construction works.
