Old Town Pure White by Downtown Apartments

Old Town Pure White by Downtown Apartments Overview

Old Town Pure White by Downtown Apartments sits tucked between the cobbled lanes of St. Mary’s Square and the bustling market street of Gdańsk, a stone’s throw from the iconic Westerplatte memorial. The moment I stepped out of the underground parking—yes, there’s a free underground lot right next to the building, no hassle of street parking—I could hear the distant clink of glasses from a nearby beer garden and the faint murmur of tourists. The lobby is surprisingly quiet; the staff greet you with warm smiles and, honestly, a quick, almost personal “good morning” that feels more like a hometown welcome than a corporate script. The check‑in process is quick—just a few minutes, no long lines—so you can get to your room and the city’s charm almost immediately. I mean, the front desk is staffed by locals who actually know the best hidden cafés, so they’re happy to point you to the tiny pastry shop on Ulica Długa that serves the best cinnamon rolls.

The room itself is a study in understated luxury. Light pours in from a small window overlooking a quiet courtyard, and the white walls and clean lines give it a crisp, airy feel. The bed—yes, that’s a king‑size, memory‑foam mattress that actually feels like a cloud—had a subtle scent of lavender in the linen, which is a nice touch. The bathroom, while modest, is impeccably clean; the rainfall shower hits just right, and the fluffy towels feel like a soft hug after a day of wandering. The minibar is stocked with Polish craft beers and a local honey that’s surprisingly sweet. I found the Wi‑Fi fast enough to stream my playlist without buffering, which is a relief in a city where sometimes the connectivity can be patchy. The only small critique: the air conditioner is a bit loud at night, but the noise level of the surrounding streets is low enough that it’s hardly a problem. If you’re a night owl, you might want to bring a small earplug just in case.

Outside, the building’s façade gives off a classic Gdańsk vibe, but the modern interior is a pleasant surprise. The terrace on the top floor of the building offers a panoramic view of the old harbor, and the evening light turns the skyline into a watercolor painting—perfect for those Insta shots you want to brag about. The restaurant in the lobby is a cozy spot; the chef, a local Gdańsk resident, serves a signature pierogi dish that’s rich with fresh mushrooms and a hint of dill. The staff is friendly and offers a complimentary glass of local white wine with dinner, which is a nice touch that feels genuinely thoughtful rather than a marketing gimmick. If you’re looking to explore the nightlife, just a short walk brings you to a lively bar on Ulica Żurawia where the music is a mix of jazz and electronic, and the crowd is a mix of locals and travelers—always a good sign of a lively city. By the time the night winds down, the streetlights cast a warm glow, and the city hums softly, a reminder that Gdańsk is alive but still respects its historic charm. All in all, Old Town Pure White by Downtown Apartments delivers a comfortable, authentic, and surprisingly personal experience that feels more like a home visit than a hotel stay.

Reviews of Old Town Pure White by Downtown Apartments

• Jaroslav from Slovakia – 5 April 2025 (10/10)

  Nádherné do detailov vymakane ubytovanie priamo na hlavnej pešej ulici Dluga. Trochu hluku z ulice.
  Vrelo odporucam. Ďakujeme.

• Miska from Finland – 29 March 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment is located in the center of the old town, on the main street. The street view from the window is exceptional. The interior design is excellent and detailed. Everything in the apartment is beautiful and practical. The host's communication was very precise.
  
  What could be improved: The water in the shower was often cool.

• Daniela from Slovakia – 18 March 2025 (10/10)

  Beautiful apartment, very stylishly furnished. Great location, right in the city center.

• Kelly from United States – 9 December 2024 (8/10)

  Fantastic location, clean, spacious, and well updated.
  
  What could be improved: The partygoers from the bar below at 2am on a Saturday night made it difficult to sleep.

• Adam from Czech Republic – 2 December 2024 (10/10)

  Beatiful modern apartment with everything you need. The location is incredible right on the Długa street with views of the Bazylika.
  
  What could be improved: Długa street can get busy at night, but it is worth it unless you are a really light sleeper.

• Fahad from Saudi Arabia – 9 June 2024 (9/10)

  The furniture. Amazing for it’s price, 5 star hotel level. Best location in town probably. Windows open directly on Długa street which his the lifeline of the city.
  
  What could be improved: The entrance, it’s really confusing for uber drivers and a little bit difficult to drag baggage to & from. Wish there was a direct entrance from Długa street

• Olga from Ukraine – 9 May 2024 (10/10)

  Great apartments! Excellent location on the most picturesque street in the city center. The apartment is clean and has everything you need for comfort.

• Mariia from Germany – 13 April 2024 (9/10)

  The apartment is fantastic—fully renovated, bright, and centrally located. The check-in and check-out instructions were detailed, leaving no further questions. You can soak in the city vibe while watching the rain from the window. Plus, with a Smart TV featuring YouTube, you've got your morning dance session covered! I truly enjoyed my stay there.
  
  What could be improved: I did my morning training on the carpet in the bedroom. It wasn't spotless, but it didn't detract from the overall experience. Everything else was amazing.

• Lucy from United Kingdom – 19 December 2023 (10/10)

  Unbelievable location.
  Stunning apartment.
  Very clean.
  Great communication with Downtown apartments.
  
  What could be improved: Dishwasher tripped out hot water but was fixed immediately.

• A from Denmark – 7 November 2023 (7/10)

  The location, design and cleanness
  
  What could be improved: The company renting out this place is really bad in communicating. They do not respond to questions. They (and Booking) are sending plenty of the same messages we did not need but the relevant info for checking in was only sent 90 minutes before the official check-in time (while we had asked for a check-in one hour earlier to which they never responded). Therefore we had to make extra taxi costs and it took us extra time to get settled. Very annoying and not professional.
