Lion Apartments – Botanica Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Lion Apartments – Botanica on Bursztynowa Street, you immediately get the sense that this isn’t your typical hotel setup. It’s actually an apartment-style accommodation that feels more like staying at a friend’s well-appointed place than checking into a standard four-star property. The building has this modern, clean aesthetic that fits perfectly with the upscale residential vibe of this part of Gdańsk. What really caught my attention right away was how quiet the street is — you’re close to everything but tucked away from the tourist crowds.
Location That Actually Works
Here’s the thing about the location — it’s one of those spots that locals would choose, not just tourists. You’re in a residential area that feels authentically Polish, but honestly, you can reach the Old Town in about 15 minutes by tram or a quick drive. The nearby Oliwa Park is perfect for morning walks, and there’s this great little bakery just around the corner that most visitors never find. I mean, having your own parking spot right on-site is huge in Gdańsk — you know how tricky city parking can be. The fact that couples rate this place so highly makes total sense when you experience how peaceful the neighborhood is.
The Space Itself
The room — well, it’s really more of a full apartment — gives you so much more space than you’d expect. There’s a proper kitchen setup, which honestly saved me quite a bit on dining out, especially for breakfast and quick lunches. The furnishings strike that sweet spot between modern and comfortable, nothing too fancy but everything works exactly as it should. The bathroom is surprisingly spacious, and the shower pressure is actually decent (you’d be amazed how often that’s an issue in European accommodations). What I really appreciated was how well-thought-out the storage is — there’s actually room for your stuff.
Practical Comforts
You know what makes a difference? The little things that show someone actually thought about what travelers need. The Wi-Fi is solid throughout the apartment, there’s good natural light from multiple windows, and the heating works properly (crucial if you’re visiting in the cooler months). The building itself is well-maintained and secure — you get your own key codes, so there’s no awkward lobby interactions or restricted access hours. Plus, having a washing machine available is one of those amenities that becomes incredibly valuable on longer stays.
Why Guests Love It
That 9.3 rating isn’t just numbers — it reflects how this place delivers on the basics while giving you room to actually live a bit during your stay. The combination of independence, space, and that genuinely good location creates something that works whether you’re here for romance, business, or just exploring the city at your own pace. It’s the kind of place where you can cook dinner together, spread out your maps and guidebooks, and still feel connected to the real Gdańsk rather than trapped in a tourist bubble. For couples especially, there’s something appealing about having your own little Polish home base rather than just another hotel room.

Lokalizacja, apartament, parking podziemny
What could be improved: Słuchawka pod prysznicem bo była wyeksploatowana oraz uchwyt na słuchawkę prysznicowa.Anna from Poland – 2 January 2025 (10/10)
Bardzo wygodne mieszkanie, świetnie położone. Jestem w tych okolicach kilka razy w roku, ostatnio wybieram to osiedle ze względu na położenie (blisko plaża, sklepy, tramwaj, restauracje)
What could be improved: W samym mieszkaniu wszystko było super, trafiłam w dniu zameldowania na nieprzyjemnego pana z ochrony – był nieuprzejmy i sprawiał wrażenie jakby był tam za karę. To nie pierwszy mój pobyt na osiedlu, ale pierwsza taka sytuacjaPiotr from Poland – 13 October 2024 (10/10)
Znakomite otoczenie z ogrodami, zielenią. Doskonała lokalizacja w pobliżu ERGO ARENA. Nie ma potrzeby wyjeżdżania samochodem z podziemnego garażu, aby dotrzeć do areny. Mieszkanie z dwoma sypialniami oraz dwie łazienki, w tym jedna mniejsza z toaletą.

Ihar from Belarus – 18 December 2023 (10/10)
Чисто, Аккуратно . Дворовая территория очень ухоженная мини парк . Близко набережная , охрана на территории , подземный паркинг , белоснежное постельное белье . Присутствуют посуда для готовки
What could be improved: Единственный минус , при отсутствии транспорта нужно ехать за ключами в другое место это не очень удобно , в потом их туда же вернуть.Popovluke from Czech Republic – 13 August 2023 (10/10)
Really very nice, modern accommodation in a wonderful environment full of greenery. Beach 10 minutes, tram 5 minutes. Shops, pharmacies, bakery 10 minutes walk. The equipment of the apartment was completely satisfactory, nothing was missing. The advertised photos correspond to reality. Picking up and dropping off keys in Sopot took place without any problems. A big advantage: own parking space in the garage and security and fencing of the building.
