Gdańsk Old Town Apartment – Apartment No 34

Gdańsk Old Town Apartment – Apartment No 34 Overview

Gdańsk Old Town Apartment – Apartment No 34 sits on the sixth floor of a charming tenement on Tartaczna, just a stone’s throw from the bustling Main Market Square. The building itself feels like a slice of history—brick façade, wrought‑iron balconies, and that faint scent of old wood that you can’t miss when you walk through the narrow alley. Check‑in was a breeze; the host, Marek, greeted me with a warm smile and handed me a keycard that worked like a charm. He slipped me a map of the neighborhood, pointing out the best coffee spot (Kawiarnia „Złoty Kaczor”) and the hidden gem of a bakery on Głowa Street. (Honestly, the coffee there is a game‑changer.)

Inside, the apartment is a neat, modern sanctuary. The living area is open and airy, with floor‑to‑ceiling windows that frame a view of the cobblestones below—perfect for a lazy Sunday morning. The décor is a tasteful mix of local artisan ceramics and minimalist furniture, giving it that “Polish chic” vibe without feeling pretentious. I found a small, well‑lit study nook by the window, which is ideal for catching up on work or reading a book while listening to the distant chatter of tourists and the occasional honk of a tram. The kitchen is surprisingly spacious, with stainless steel appliances and a compact but fully equipped set of cookware. I made myself a quick breakfast of fresh rye bread, smoked salmon, and a cup of strong espresso—an instant reminder of why I love staying in apartments.

Noise-wise, it’s a mixed bag. During the day, the usual city buzz—shops opening, street performers, the occasional street vendor—creates a lively soundtrack. At night, especially around 10 pm, the building’s older walls start to echo a little, so I’d recommend earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Parking is a bit of a challenge; the nearest public parking is on St. Mary’s Street, about a 10‑minute walk, and you’ll need to pay for a monthly permit. However, the building offers a small underground space where you can leave a bicycle or a bike rack, which is a lifesaver for those who want to explore on two wheels. I found the elevator surprisingly quick, which is a relief on the sixth floor, but the stairs are a bit narrow—so if you’re carrying a lot of luggage, you might want to bring a backpack with a good grip.

The location is honestly unbeatable for anyone who wants to soak up Gdańsk’s history while still having the comfort of a private space. Just a block away, you’ll find the Royal Way (Ulica Królewska) and the historic Gdańsk Shipyard museum—perfect for an afternoon of culture. The street next to the apartment, Tartaczna, has a quirky mix of boutique shops and a small park where locals gather for morning jogs. If you’re craving authentic Polish cuisine, head to “Restauracja Gdańsk” on the corner of Piotrkowska; the pierogi are to die for. (I mean, the dumplings here are seriously the best I’ve tasted outside of Kraków.)

All in all, Gdańsk Old Town Apartment – Apartment No 34 is a solid 4‑star experience that feels more like a home than a hotel. The only real downside is the slightly noisy nights and the limited parking, but those are minor trade‑offs for a place that lets you live like a local while still feeling pampered. If you’re planning a trip during the high season, book early to snag the best rates and avoid the rush around Main Market Square. And if you’re a night owl, just remember to bring earplugs. Trust me, you’ll love the way the city’s energy wraps around you from the comfort of this cozy apartment.

Hotels in Gdansk offer visitors the opportunity to stay in the heart of this Baltic gem, with easy access to shipyards, museums, and coastal attractions.
