Golden Apartments Garden Gates

Golden Apartments Garden Gates Overview

Golden Apartments Garden Gates sits on Długie Ogrody 18/149, right on the edge of Gdańsk’s bustling Old Town but tucked away enough that you can actually hear the city’s heartbeat without the constant rush of traffic. When I got there, the front desk was already humming with a mix of locals and tourists, all chatting over steaming cups of Polish coffee. The check‑in was surprisingly smooth—no long lines, just a friendly staff member who handed me a key card and a quick map of the neighborhood. I mean, the whole “no hassle” vibe is real here, and you’ll feel the difference the moment you step into your room.

The apartment itself is a cozy, 4‑star space that feels more like a home than a hotel. The living area is open and airy, with a sofa that’s just the right amount of plush, and the kitchenette is stocked with all the basics—coffee, tea, a mini fridge, and even a kettle that boils fast. The bed is a queen with crisp linens, and the view from the window? A view of the cobblestone streets of Gdańsk and the distant outline of the Motława River. I could hear the distant clatter of the old crane at the harbor, which is oddly soothing. The bathroom is clean, but the showerhead’s water pressure is a bit on the low side, which is a minor gripe I’ll share.

Parking is a bit of a mixed bag. If you’re driving, you’ll have to pull into a narrow street behind the building, but the city’s parking meters are fairly reasonable, and the street is usually clear after 7 p.m. If you’re staying for a longer stretch, I’d recommend using the public parking lot on St. Martyn’s Street—just a short walk away—and then walking into the city. Speaking of walking, the location is perfect for strolling. From the hotel you can hop over the wooden bridge to the Old Town in less than ten minutes, and you’ll find yourself right next to the iconic Gdańsk Crane and the bustling market square. If you’re craving food, just a block away is the “Krowa” restaurant, where the pierogi are literally the best you’ll find in Gdańsk.

Honestly, the only thing that could be better is the Wi‑Fi. It’s spotty at times—especially in the evenings when the city lights are on and the building’s signal gets a bit overwhelmed. I had to switch between the apartment’s Wi‑Fi and the free café Wi‑Fi in the lobby to get a stable connection for my work emails. But that’s a small price to pay for the overall vibe. The noise level is pretty good; I could hear the city at night, but it didn’t interfere with my sleep. The staff were friendly, and the breakfast buffet, while not a 5‑star affair, had a good selection of fresh pastries, local cheese, and a homemade jam that really hit the spot.

All in all, Golden Apartments Garden Gates is a solid choice if you want to be in the thick of Gdańsk’s history without the tourist crowds. The place feels like a local’s haven, with the kind of personal touches you only find when a hotel owner actually lives in the building. The only downside is the Wi‑Fi hiccup and the slightly low shower pressure, but those are small trade‑offs for a comfortable, well‑located stay. If you’re planning a trip in the summer, be prepared for a bustling street scene and maybe book your room early—this spot gets snapped up fast. In winter, the city is quieter, and the cozy apartment feels even more like a refuge. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Poland, and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants a real slice of Gdańsk life without the usual hotel fluff.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Gdansk at least two months ahead for major events like St. Dominic’s Fair, ensuring the best rates and prime locations near historic attractions.

• Lyudmila from Ukraine – 21 August 2022 (9/10)

  Great location. clean and comfortable.

• Andrei from Belarus – 26 June 2022 (7/10)

  Well located, furnished, clean, cozy, and equipped apartment that corresponds photos on booking.
  Thanks to hotel receptionist ( she found issue with apartment number that owner did, and we got to apartment at night)
  
  What could be improved: 1. We arrived at a deep night after 12 hours of road, we got keys and they didn't match the door. After 20 minutes discussion with receptionist and attemps to call apartment owner we found that apartment number in booking differs from receptionist info. (Hopefully we found correct apartment number, but it's not a thing that you want to do at deep night )
  2. Around 5-10 minutes before check out when we are still in apartment, guard started opening our door without any attempt to knock in the door ( and then I had to explain that we have 5 minutes to finish packing our things – he didn't speak English and didn't want to leave and stayed in the door) – when your check out time is 11 – you don't have to come with your keys before this time and push people to leave.
  I hope apartment owners take these into considerations.
