Lion Apartments – Botanica

Lion Apartments – Botanica Overview

Lion Apartments – Botanica sits on Bursztynowa 2B/12, right in the heart of Gdańsk’s old quarter, which is as charming as it is a bit chaotic when the summer crowds roll in. I first spotted it from the cobblestones of Gdańsk’s main square, the building’s blue façade popping against the gray stone of the city walls. The street is lined with cafés that spill out warm light onto the sidewalks, and if you’re lucky you’ll hear the distant hum of a tram and the clink of glass from a nearby beer hall – the kind of soundtrack that makes you feel instantly at home. Check‑in was a breeze: the front desk clerk handed you a key card in a voice that sounded like an old friend, and there was a little note in Polish and English explaining the apartment layout (a nice touch that saved me from wandering too far into the maze of narrow corridors).

The apartment itself is a surprisingly spacious loft, the kind of place where the high ceilings and exposed beams give a sense of airy openness, but the floorboards have that authentic Gdańsk grit that you can feel under your shoes. The living area has a comfortable sofa, and the kitchenette is stocked with a kettle, a mini fridge, and a set of pots that are just enough for a quick breakfast or a pasta dinner. I spent a few evenings on the small balcony, sipping coffee while the old city’s lanterns flickered to life – the smell of roasted chestnuts from a nearby street vendor drifting in. Wi‑Fi was decent, though sometimes a weak ping when the tower was busy; the elevator was the real culprit – it’s a bit slow, but there are only a couple of floors to climb. Parking is a lifesaver on rainy days: there’s a small paid lot right next to the building, and the street parking is free after 8 pm, which is handy for late‑night returns from the harbor.

Honestly, the only real hiccup was the noise from the street at 2 am – the traffic on Bursztynowa can be a bit raucous, but the thick walls do a decent job of muffling it. The apartment’s air conditioning, on the other hand, is a gem; a quick turn of the dial and you’re cool in the heat of a July afternoon. I’d recommend Lion Apartments – Botanica to anyone who wants to soak up the vibe of Gdańsk without the tourist trap feel. The building itself feels like a neighbor’s home, and the staff’s genuine hospitality makes you feel less like a guest and more like an old friend staying over. If you’re planning a trip, book early in the off‑season or aim for mid‑week stays to avoid the rush – you’ll get the best rates and a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere. The only thing you’ll miss is the bustling energy of the city’s main square, but that’s exactly what you’ll want back when you’re ready to explore again.

• 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 sytuacja

• Piotr 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.

  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.
