Old City & River View Premium Apartment by Lion Apartments

Old City & River View Premium Apartment by Lion Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Old City & River View Premium Apartment by Lion Apartments on Chmielna Street, you immediately get that “I made the right choice” feeling. This four-star property sits right in the thick of Gdańsk’s historic center, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better — couples especially seem to get this, rating it 8.8 for romantic getaways. The building itself has that perfect blend of old-world Polish charm with modern touches that actually work together.

The Heart of Gdańsk

You know what’s great about staying here? You’re literally in the real heart of the old town, which means you can stumble out your door and be at the famous Neptune Fountain or Long Market in about three minutes. I mean, when a place scores 9.5 for location, there’s usually a good reason. The Motława River is right there too, so those river views they promise aren’t just marketing speak — you actually get them. Plus, you’re close enough to hear the street musicians in the evening but far enough from the main tourist chaos to get some peace.

The Apartment Experience

This isn’t your typical hotel room situation — it’s a proper apartment setup that gives you space to actually live a bit. The kitchen is well-equipped enough that you could cook if you wanted to (though with Gdańsk’s food scene right outside, why would you?). What I really appreciated was how they’ve managed to keep the historic character while making everything feel fresh and clean. The river views from the windows are honestly pretty spectacular, especially in the morning when the light hits the water just right.

Practical Perks

Here’s something that’ll save you headaches — they’ve got private parking right on site, which is basically gold in this part of the city. Trust me, trying to find parking in Gdańsk’s old town can be a nightmare, so this alone makes the place worth considering. They also do breakfast to go, which is actually perfect when you want to grab something quick and head out to explore. It’s not a fancy sit-down affair, but sometimes that grab-and-go style works better when you’re eager to get out and see the city.

Why Guests Love It

With a 9.1 rating, this place clearly hits the mark for most people, and I can see why. It’s that sweet spot where you get the independence of an apartment with the service standards of a good hotel. The location really is unbeatable — you’re close enough to everything that matters but tucked away enough to feel like you’ve got your own little corner of historic Gdańsk. Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend or just want to explore the city properly, this place gives you a genuine base to work from rather than just somewhere to crash.

Reviews of Old City & River View Premium Apartment by Lion Apartments

• Sari from Finland – 29 May 2025 (10/10)

  Stylish, spacious, and perfectly clean apartment in the heart of the city. Many popular restaurants underneath but still quiet at night. Value for money!

• Bartosz from United Kingdom – 24 May 2025 (7/10)

  Great Location nice modern apartment
  
  What could be improved: The windows were very dirty upon arrival. The bathroom drain was blocked, which made it difficult to shower on the first day. After I contacted the property via Booking.com, someone came to fix the issue, but they left the floors very dirty afterwards. Overall, the cleanliness and maintenance were disappointing

• Konrad from Australia – 13 May 2025 (9/10)

  Great location, great view, really nice apartment for what we paid.

• Jukka-pekka from Finland – 24 March 2025 (9/10)

  Very, very clean, nice views, central location. Beutiful apartment. Spacious, fit a family of six very well.
  
  What could be improved: A bit noisy in weekenend nigths but dit not bother us. It would be good if the payment of the city tax could be integrated to the basic payment. City tax is now paid separatelye in the web, but we requested and received the payment link earlier, not the day of the arrival.

• Klaudia from Poland – 15 February 2025 (8/10)

  Lokalizacja świetna, widoki przepiękne. Cały apartament wysprzątany i pachnący.
  
  What could be improved: W łazience był grzejnik, ale nie działał. Byliśmy 3 noce i mimo reszty grzejników na full w łazience epoka lodowcowa, zero przyjemności z prysznica. Za taką cenę to myślę, że nie powinno być takich miejsc co na zdjęciu (rama drzwi w łazience). Domofon nie działał co trochę utrudniało odbiór zamówienia z jedzeniem.
  Przy innych apartamentach nie zwróciłabym na to uwagi, ale za taką cenę uważam, że nie powinno być żadnego ale.

• Sylwia from Germany – 9 February 2025 (10/10)

  Wszystko, dosłownie wszystko❤️
  
  What could be improved: Jedyny minus to słychać dyskotekę w sobote , która znajduje dokładnie pod apartamentem.

• Oxana from United Kingdom – 5 February 2025 (10/10)

  Локація та вигляд на місто – фантастичні!!!
  
  What could be improved: —

• Alexander from Israel – 6 January 2025 (9/10)

  Amazing location ,great view on the river a lot of restaurants and pubs under the apartment .
  Very clean and comfortable, great suit for family 4-5 people.
  
  What could be improved: A floor in the bathroom very cold.

• Simon from United Kingdom – 3 December 2024 (6/10)

  Outstanding location and amazing view of old city waterfront
  
  What could be improved: Impossible to sleep several nights with heavy beat music from below. Second bedroom no more than a sizeable sofa. A total lack of items for living in such as drying cloths, dish washer tabs, scrubbers, basic cooking items like oil, salt, pepper. No instructions for the kitchen items or guides for local amenities. This place needs more than a designer to make it a great holiday let.

• Matthew from United Kingdom – 5 March 2024 (9/10)

  Stunning apartment, literally sparkled! Unbelievable view of the river and old town, everything you could need and more
  
  What could be improved: One of the light switches didn’t work in the bedroom – had to find the right switch by trying all the buttons on the main switchboard in order to get it off and get some sleep! Minor issue though in the end.
