Grobla Charming Apartment by Downtown Apartments

Grobla Charming Apartment by Downtown Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Grobla Charming Apartment by Downtown Apartments on Grobla I street, you immediately know you’ve hit the jackpot location-wise. I mean, this four-star place sits right in the thick of Gdańsk’s historic center — honestly, you can’t get much more central than this. The building itself has that classic Polish charm, tucked into a street that feels authentically local but still puts you within a two-minute walk of all the main attractions.

The Heart of Old Town

What really struck me about this spot is how it manages to be both touristy and genuinely local at the same time. You’re literally surrounded by the best of Gdańsk — the famous Long Market is practically at your doorstep, and those gorgeous colorful townhouses everyone posts on Instagram? Yeah, they’re your neighbors now. But here’s what the guidebooks don’t tell you: early morning on Grobla street, before the tour groups arrive, you get this magical glimpse of how locals actually live in the old town. There’s a small café around the corner where construction workers grab their morning coffee alongside tourists, and that’s the kind of authentic moment you can’t plan for.

The Apartment Experience

The apartment itself feels more like staying at a well-traveled friend’s place than a typical hotel room. Everything’s thoughtfully arranged — the kitchen actually has proper cookware (not those flimsy hotel kettles), and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without living out of a suitcase. The windows face the street, which means you get a bit of that old town energy, but it’s not overwhelmingly noisy. I actually enjoyed hearing the cobblestones echo with footsteps in the evening — it adds to the whole historic atmosphere without keeping you awake.

Getting Around and Practical Stuff

Here’s something I really appreciated — you don’t need to think about transportation once you’re here. The train station is close enough for arrival and departure, but once you’re settled, everything worth seeing is walkable. The Royal Way, St. Mary’s Church, the waterfront — it’s all within a few blocks. Parking can be tricky in this part of town (as expected), but honestly, you won’t need a car anyway. There are grocery stores nearby if you want to use that kitchen, and the restaurant scene around here ranges from traditional Polish spots to more international options.

Why Guests Love It

What sets this place apart isn’t just the location score — though that 9.3 rating makes perfect sense once you’re here. It’s how the apartment manages to give you that local living experience while keeping all the conveniences you actually need as a traveler. Couples especially seem to get it (that 9.0 rating from pairs tells the story), probably because there’s something romantic about having your own little corner of this historic city. You’re not just visiting Gdańsk; you’re temporarily living in it, and that makes all the difference when you’re trying to really connect with a place rather than just check it off a list.

To book hotel in Gdansk during the famous St. Dominic’s Fair season, visitors should make reservations well in advance as the city attracts maritime enthusiasts and history lovers from around the world.

  El apartamento está situado en el centro, muy cerca de la Catedral. Es amplio y moderno, las fotos reflejan tal y como es en realidad.
  Tienen un supermercado justo enfrente y muchos bares y restaurantes a un paso.

  Läget framför allt. Bra överlag.
  
  What could be improved: Det skulle finnas tvättmaskin, men det gjorde det inte.

• Nicola from United Kingdom – 21 February 2023 (8/10)

  The apartment is excellent value for money and couldn't have been in a better location to explore Gdansk.
  Everything you need is provided in the kitchen, and the furnishings are of a high standard.
  Easy access and staff were available to answer questions we had. Quick responses on email and phone.
  
  What could be improved: There is a frequent drainage smell in the bathroom, which may come from another apartment. I noticed this had been reported by another reviewer previously.

  What could be improved: nothing

• Natallia from Poland – 20 October 2022 (7/10)

  Отличное расположение в сердце города. Небольшая светлая квартира с отдельной спальней.
  
  What could be improved: 1) Странный неприятный запах, то ли от воды, то из вытяжки.
  2) Уборка. В квартире было убрано не очень тщательно. В ванной и кухне были следы.
  3) Общение с обслуживающей компанией. Я несколько раз отметила, что мне важно заселиться за 2 часа до официально заезда, но так и не получила ответа: да или нет. А в какой-то момент со мной перестали выходить на связь. Информацию о заселении прислали перед самым заездом, я была уверена, что надо искать новый вариант, так как на сообщения на отвечают, информации о том, как заселится, тоже нет.
  4) Комплименты. В квартире есть капсульная кофеварка, но капсулы, которые есть на кухне, к ней не подходят. По итогу вроде как предоставляют чай/кофе, но воспользоваться им невозможно.

• Costas from United Kingdom – 23 June 2022 (8/10)
