Golden Apartments Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Golden Apartments on Wałowa Street, you immediately get that “I’m in the real Gdańsk” feeling. This four-star property sits right in the historic heart of the city, and I mean literally — you’re steps away from the Main Town’s cobblestone streets and those iconic colorful townhouses everyone comes to see. The building itself has that restored Polish charm, where modern comfort meets old-world character without trying too hard. The location puts you at the intersection of history and contemporary travel, making it an ideal base for exploring one of Poland’s most captivating destinations.
Location That Actually Matters
Here’s what I love about this spot — you can walk to St. Mary’s Basilica in about three minutes, and the famous Neptune Fountain is practically around the corner. The location score of 9.5 isn’t just marketing fluff; couples especially seem to get it, rating it the same for romantic getaways. You know what’s really nice though? Despite being so central, Wałowa Street doesn’t get the crazy tourist foot traffic of the main drag, so you actually get some peace when you come back in the evenings. This balance between accessibility and tranquility is rare in Old Town accommodations.
The Apartment Experience
Each apartment here feels more like staying in a local friend’s well-appointed place than a typical hotel room. The spaces are thoughtfully designed — I’m talking about having an actual kitchen where you can make morning coffee or store those Polish pastries you’ll inevitably buy too many of. The furnishings strike that sweet spot between modern functionality and cozy warmth, with enough space to actually unpack and settle in for a few days. This residential approach to hospitality transforms your visit into a genuine living experience rather than a transient hotel stay.
Practical Perks
One thing that honestly surprised me was the private parking situation. Finding a decent parking spot in Gdańsk’s Old Town can be a nightmare, but Golden Apartments has you covered right on-site. It’s one of those details that seems small until you’re actually dealing with narrow medieval streets and wondering where to leave your rental car. The staff knows the neighborhood inside and out too — they’ll point you toward the best pierogi spot or tell you which amber shops are worth your time versus the tourist traps. These thoughtful touches elevate the entire stay.
Why Guests Love It
The 8.7 rating really reflects what you get here — it’s that rare combination of prime location, practical amenities, and genuine comfort that makes you want to extend your stay. Couples seem particularly drawn to the romantic potential of having your own little nest in one of Europe’s most beautiful historic cities, but honestly, it works just as well for friends or solo travelers who want more space and independence than a standard hotel offers. You’re paying for the location and the apartment-style setup, and in this case, it’s absolutely worth it. The property delivers exceptional value for discerning travelers seeking authenticity and comfort.

Big one bedroom apartment at 1 km from old city best spots. Underground garage is offered paid separately. Very good for a short stay. We were two families of four each and settled very well. It is a big block. In front there is a mini market zabka and on the back outside a great food court
