Old Town Straganiarska by Downtown Apartments

Old Town Straganiarska by Downtown Apartments Overview

Old Town Straganiarska by Downtown Apartments sits right on Straganiarska 53, a stone’s throw from the cobblestone maze of Gdańsk’s historic center. I remember stepping out of the lobby and being hit by that instant, salty breeze that smells like the Motława River and the faint tang of fresh pierogi from a stall on Dluga Street. The building itself is a charming mix of old brick and sleek glass—classic Polish city vibe with a modern twist. Honestly, it feels like the kind of place where the locals would pick you up for a night out, which is why I love it.

The staff at Old Town Straganiarska by Downtown Apartments are super friendly. Check‑in was quick—no long security lines, just a warm welcome and a key that works like a charm. (I mean, that’s a relief after some of the other hotels that make you wait for 20 minutes). Parking can be a bit of a scavenger hunt; there’s a small paid lot a block away, but you’ll find free street spots if you’re willing to drive a few turns into the quieter back alleys. Noise-wise, the hotel is pretty decent during the day, but come nightfall the bars on Św. Marii and the clubs around Gdańsk Shipyard start to bleed into the windows. It’s lively, but if you’re a light sleeper, you might want to bring earplugs. The Wi‑Fi is solid—except for those rare moments when the connection hiccups during a heavy streaming session at the breakfast bar.

When you’re exploring the area, the real gem is the sheer variety of hidden corners: a tiny jazz café on Ulica Św. Anny, a street artist’s mural on Gdańsk’s northern wall, and that old bakery on Dluga Street that still rolls fresh rye bread every morning. I love waking up to the sound of trams clattering by, the distant chatter of tourists, and the smell of coffee from a local espresso bar. If you’re visiting in the summer, expect crowds on the river promenade, but the evenings are usually mellow with fewer tourists and more locals enjoying a beer in a quiet courtyard. In winter, the streets are quieter, the snow gives the city a peaceful hush, and the hotel’s heating keeps the rooms snug and cozy. All in all, Old Town Straganiarska by Downtown Apartments offers a genuine slice of Gdańsk life—comfortable, well-situated, and full of those little details that make a trip unforgettable.

Hotel in Gdansk booking should be done early, especially during summer festivals when the city hosts internationally celebrated cultural and maritime events.
