Old Town Apartments – Św Barbary street by Noclegi Renters Overview

Old Town Apartments – Św Barbary street by Noclegi Renters is tucked right in the heart of Gdańsk’s historic district, just a stone’s throw from the bustling square where the old town’s market stalls line the cobblestones. The building itself is a classic 19th‑century brick façade, its windows framed with ornate ironwork that hints at the city’s maritime past. When you step inside the lobby, the scent of fresh polish coffee lingers in the air, and a low hum of tourists chatting fills the space—an ambient soundtrack that instantly tells you you’re in the middle of something special.

From the first glance, I could tell there was a lot of character. The reception desk is manned by a friendly Polish concierge who greets you with a warm “Witam!” and offers a free map of the old town. The check‑in process was surprisingly smooth; they had a dedicated room for guests who need to drop off luggage early, so you could start exploring the street before the official arrival time. I remember arriving around 9 pm on a Thursday; the street was quiet, but you could still hear the distant bells from St. Mary’s Church ringing in the night, a gentle reminder of the city’s historic rhythm.

The rooms are small but thoughtfully designed. I stayed in the second‑floor apartment, which has a view of the canal that runs alongside the city walls. The bed is surprisingly comfortable, and the linens feel like a soft, breathable cotton—perfect after a day of walking. The bathroom is a compact, yet surprisingly airy space; the shower’s water pressure is strong, and there’s a small, freebie of locally produced hand soap you’ll appreciate if you’re traveling with a sensitive skin. The kitchenette has a small fridge, a single‑cup coffee maker, and all the basic utensils you’ll need to whip up a quick breakfast. I made a cup of coffee, and the aroma of roasted beans mingled with the faint scent of fresh bread from a nearby bakery—an irresistible smell that makes you feel right at home.

One of the things that really struck me was how quiet the building is, even during the peak tourist season. I stayed there in July, when the old town buzzes with tourists, and the only noises were the occasional chatter from the next door apartment and the distant traffic on the street below. It’s a good thing there’s a dedicated parking lot in the basement, but the city’s parking meters on the street can be a hassle if you’re not used to them. The Old Town Apartments offer a small discount for early check‑in and late check‑out, which was a lifesaver when I had a late flight.

If you’re planning a day trip, you’ll find that you’re just steps away from the Royal Way, where the historic Royal Castle stands, and the Motława River runs right beside it—perfect for a leisurely stroll or a quick photo op. The street itself is lined with charming cafés and souvenir shops, and you’ll catch the local vibe in the way the street vendors offer freshly baked pierogi and hot chocolate on the corners. For a quiet evening, the rooftop terrace of the building is a hidden gem; you can sit on a folding chair with a blanket and watch the sunset over the city’s skyline.

Overall, the Old Town Apartments felt like a home away from home. The blend of historical charm, practical amenities, and the personal touch from the staff made my stay memorable. If you’re looking for something that feels authentic and well‑located—without the generic buzz of a chain hotel—this place offers just that. And honestly, the small touches—the free map, the friendly concierge, the local soap—are what really make the difference. Enjoy your stay in Gdańsk, and remember to step off the main road for a walk down the quiet alley behind the bakery; the city has a way of revealing its secrets to those who wander a little off the beaten path.
