Dom & House – Apartments Old Town Szeroka

Dom & House – Apartments Old Town Szeroka Overview

Dom & House – Apartments Old Town Szeroka sits tucked between the cobblestone lanes of Gdańsk’s historic heart, right on Szeroka 37-56/57, 80-835 Gdańsk, Poland. The first thing that caught me was the front desk: a pair of locals, one with a scar on his cheek from a childhood bike accident, who welcomed me with a warm “Witaj!” and handed me a keycard that glowed like a little portal. The check‑in was slick—no long lines, just a quick scan and a short tour of the apartment’s layout. I noticed a small note tucked under the coffee maker: “If you need anything, just knock on the door.” It felt less like a hotel and more like a home with a touch of hospitality.

The apartment itself is spacious, with a loft‑style living area that spills out onto a balcony overlooking the narrow alley where street musicians sometimes set up for a few hours in the afternoon. The décor is a mix of vintage Polish posters and modern furnishings, giving it that “old‑town chic” vibe. The kitchen is fully equipped—there’s even a kettle that whirs on a quiet note, a perfect companion for a late‑night espresso. The room’s windows are double‑glazed, which keeps the night traffic at bay; the only sounds you hear are the occasional gull cry from the nearby Motława River and the distant rumble of a bus on Gdańsk’s main boulevard. I appreciated how the apartment feels airy yet cozy, with a subtle floral scent from fresh linen that never feels overpowering.

Parking is a bit of a scavenger hunt. There’s no dedicated spot, but the streets around Szeroka are wide enough for a couple of cars, and you can usually find a spot on the street by early evening. If you’re staying during peak tourist season—think July and August—plan for a bit of competition; locals often park in the same blocks. The noise level is manageable; you’ll hear the chatter of tourists on the Long Market (Long Market is just a two‑minute walk away) and the clatter of café cups, but it never intrudes into the apartment itself. A small critique: the Wi‑Fi password is written on a sticky note in the kitchen, and I had to ask for it again because the initial note had faded. Otherwise, the place is perfect for a relaxed stay. If you’re looking for a spot that feels like a slice of Gdańsk’s past while still offering the comforts you’d expect from a 4‑star place, Dom & House – Apartments Old Town Szeroka is the spot I’d recommend. It’s a genuine, unpretentious hideaway where the city’s heartbeat is just a window away, and the local staff always have a friendly tip up their sleeve.

Best hotels in Gdansk range from charming boutique properties in the historic Main Town to elegant waterfront hotels with stunning views of the Motława River and Gothic architecture.
