Platinium Ogarna Old Town

Platinium Ogarna Old Town Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Platinium Ogarna Old Town on ul. Ogarna, you immediately get that feeling you’ve found something special. I mean, this four-star property sits right in the absolute heart of Gdańsk’s Old Town — and when I say heart, I’m talking about being surrounded by those gorgeous colorful merchant houses and cobblestone streets that make this city so magical. The building itself has this understated elegance that doesn’t try too hard, which honestly feels refreshing after seeing so many hotels that scream for attention.

Location Magic

Here’s the thing about the location — it’s actually ridiculous how perfect it is. You’re literally steps away from the famous Long Market and Neptune’s Fountain, but somehow you’re tucked away enough that you don’t get the constant tourist chaos right outside your window. I’ve stayed in plenty of Old Town hotels across Europe, and this spot hits that sweet spot where you can stumble back from dinner at the waterfront in about three minutes, but you can also just wander out and get lost in those narrow medieval streets. The couples who rate this location 9.9 aren’t exaggerating — there’s something genuinely romantic about having all of Gdańsk’s most beautiful corners within such easy reach.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in had this clean, modern design that somehow didn’t clash with the historic building character. You know what I appreciated? The attention to details that actually matter — good lighting for reading, proper blackout curtains, and a bathroom that felt spacious without being wasteful. The beds are genuinely comfortable (not just hotel-marketing comfortable), and the soundproofing works well enough that you’ll sleep through the night even though you’re in such a central location. There’s something satisfying about looking out your window at those red-tiled roofs and church spires that never gets old.

Getting Around and Practical Stuff

One thing that surprised me was how easy everything became once I settled in here. The main train station is close enough that you don’t need to stress about transportation, but far enough that you’re not dealing with that constant urban noise. Parking can be a bit tricky in this part of the Old Town — honestly, most people just leave their cars outside the historic center and walk in, which takes maybe ten minutes. The staff actually knows the area well enough to give you real recommendations, not just the obvious tourist spots that everyone hits.

Why Guests Love It

After spending time here, I get why this place consistently scores so well with visitors. It’s not trying to be the fanciest hotel in Gdańsk, but it nails the fundamentals while giving you that authentic Old Town experience that’s getting harder to find. You’re close enough to everything that matters — the restaurant scene along the waterfront, the amber shops, those beautiful churches — but you’re staying somewhere that feels more like a well-kept secret than a tourist factory. The 8.4 rating reflects exactly what you get: solid comfort, unbeatable location, and that rare feeling that you’ve found the right spot to experience this incredible city.

Reviews of Platinium Ogarna Old Town

• Lucy from United Kingdom – 21 May 2025 (8/10)

  Grea location. Good size of the apartment

• Betina from Denmark – 16 April 2025 (7/10)

  We know the city well and knew that it would be very good location. Nice and clean flat.
  
  What could be improved: We had no hot water and took cold (Lukewarm at best) showers for four days. Practical basic information about where to dispose of litter, cans, glass and such would have been nice.

• Derek from Ireland – 3 February 2025 (9/10)

  Location and value for money excellent. A cosy home away from home in the heart of the old town of Gdansk. No issue with entry, all advised well ahead of time. We had a comfortable 3 night stay, underfloor heating was an added bonus!!
  
  What could be improved: Couch could do with a clean, breakfast was supposed to be included in the booking and never arrived on any morning. Reported it and was told to grab breakfast locally and keep receipts. A 3rd party catering company so don't know what happened. Bit of a pain having to get up and go out for breakfast.

• Karoliina from Finland – 8 August 2024 (7/10)

  Location was perfect to explore the city. Host was friendly. We had difficulties with main door while checking in (the screen where you should enter the code said ”error”) but host answered my call right away and sent help quite soon. There was a small kiosk right outside the apartment and cute little bakery right around the corner. Apartment was clean and tidy except the sofabed.
  
  What could be improved: Sofa was extremely dirty and wasn’t really temptating to sleep on all that dirt. Otherwise the apartment was quite clean. We were promised to have two towels per person, but there were only one for each. Also was promised to have shampoo/etc in the apartment but there were only travel sized shower gels which wasnt quite enough for 5 days for three people. We ran out of toiletpaper as well. As I paid approx 440€ for 4 nights in Gdansk you would think these faults didnt exist.

• Eda from Turkey – 3 April 2024 (7/10)

  Location!!
  
  What could be improved: The sink in the kitchen was problematic and connected with the dishwasher so we had dirty water problems.. and toilet paper wasn’t enough..

• Philip from Canada – 16 February 2024 (9/10)

  Central Location in Old Danzig! The main city square and old harbour with shops and restaurants are in walking distance!

• Ashley from United Kingdom – 22 November 2023 (9/10)

  Amazing location with everything nearby. Lovely clean flat with modern appliances and facilities.
  
  What could be improved: The radiator in the kitchen/living room didn't seem to be working, but that could be because we couldn't figure out how to use it.

• Ruba from Sweden – 27 July 2023 (7/10)

  We liked the location very much. Accessible for the transportation also for the attractions. Supermarkets are nearby, you need it for sure to buy some basic stuffs you use it for everyday.
  
  What could be improved: No lift and some basic needs are missing in the apartment. Very noisy when you open the windows.

• Ronja from Norway – 25 November 2022 (7/10)

  short distance to everything, big space and good price
  
  What could be improved: It was very cold and we could hear the neighbors

• Sanna from Finland – 20 July 2022 (8/10)

  Nice and clean apartment middle of everything. As like in pictures. Washing machine for laundry (nice option during our 2 weeks travel).
  
  What could be improved: No owen mittens (we used towel from bathroom to take food off), no teatowels, toilet paper (really thin) 1,5 roll for 1 adult and 3 teenagers for 5 nights wasn't enough. Sheets didn't stay on sofa where you didn't know which way to sleep.
