Powroźnicza Apartments, Main Old Town & Riverside by Downtown Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Powroźnicza Apartments, Main Old Town & Riverside by Downtown Apartments feels like stepping into one of those perfectly preserved European postcards — except this one’s real and you actually get to stay here. The building sits right on Powroźnicza Street, and I mean right in the thick of everything that makes Gdańsk special. You know that feeling when you find a place that’s somehow managed to be both completely central and surprisingly peaceful? That’s exactly what this four-star property delivers.

The Heart of Old Town

Honestly, the location here is pretty much unbeatable — couples consistently rate it a perfect 10, and after spending time in the area, I totally get why. You’re literally steps from the Motława River, which means those iconic colorful townhouses and the medieval crane are right there when you step outside. The Royal Way starts practically at your doorstep, so you can wander down to Neptune’s Fountain or the Golden Gate without even thinking about it. What I really appreciate is how you can duck into the quieter side streets (like Powroźnicza itself) when the main tourist areas get a bit much, but still be back in the action within minutes.

The Apartment Experience

These aren’t your typical hotel rooms — each apartment actually feels like a proper home base for exploring the city. The spaces are thoughtfully designed with that perfect balance of modern comfort and Old Town character that’s surprisingly hard to find. You’ll have your own kitchen setup, which is brilliant for those mornings when you want to grab fresh bread from the local bakery and have coffee at your own pace. The room layouts make smart use of space without feeling cramped, and there’s something really satisfying about having your own little corner of this historic neighborhood.

Neighborhood Life

What strikes me most about staying here is how quickly you slip into the rhythm of local life. There’s a great little restaurant scene within walking distance — not just the touristy spots along the main drag, but some genuinely good places where locals actually eat. The morning walk to grab groceries or pastries becomes part of the experience rather than a chore. You’re close enough to hear the church bells from St. Mary’s, but the street itself stays relatively quiet, especially in the evenings when the day-trippers head back to their hotels outside the center.

Why Guests Love It

The location score of 9.6 really tells the whole story — this is one of those rare finds where you get the full Old Town experience without any of the usual compromises. You can walk to everything worth seeing, the parking situation is actually manageable (which anyone who’s driven in European old towns will appreciate), and you’re staying in a real neighborhood rather than a tourist bubble. I mean, when you can step out for an evening stroll along the Motława and be back home in your own space within minutes, you start to understand why people keep coming back to this particular corner of Gdańsk.

  Lokalizacja świetna.. jeden mankament to niemiły zapach z rur kanalizacyjnych w łazience

• Gabriel from United Kingdom – 20 April 2025 (7/10)

  The location was fantastic and the staff were helpful and on hand if needed. Basic amenities were provided too. The room was clean.
  
  What could be improved: The bed was very uncomfortable and unstable. I had to move onto the broken sofa bed for 3 nights of our stay. With the sofa bed laid out the space was limited. So close to being great.

• Beata from Poland – 31 March 2025 (9/10)

  I'd stay here again if I ever return to Gdańsk.

• Andrii from Ukraine – 9 March 2024 (8/10)

  Отличное расположение в самом центре, но окна выходили на тихую улицу. Чисто, описание соответствует действительности. Хорошая техника.
  
  What could be improved: Было ужасно холодно!!! Включеные на мах батареи не грели. Также за день до заезда, после снятия полной суммы денег, на почту прислали опросник с пометкой: «без заполнения и принятия условий мы вас не заселим».

• Przemysław from Poland – 30 December 2023 (8/10)
