Princess Apartment – Old Town

Princess Apartment – Old Town Overview

Princess Apartment – Old Town is tucked right in the heart of Gdańsk’s historic district, just a stone’s throw from the bustling Złota street and the quiet corner cafés of Gdańska Street. I first stumbled upon it while wandering from the Royal Way to the Old Town Market Square; the building’s neat façade and the little hand‑painted sign on the door felt like a welcoming nod from a long‑time resident. The check‑in was a breeze—there’s a small, friendly desk near the lobby where the staff hand you a map of the city and a polite nod that says, “You’re in the right place.” They’re quick, but they know the city like a map in your pocket.

The apartment itself is a cozy 2‑bedroom space with a surprisingly airy feel. The living area is lit by a big window that faces the cobblestones, so you get that classic Gdańsk sunrise and the daily hum of tram wheels and market vendors. The kitchen is compact but functional—there’s a small induction stove, a coffee maker that actually makes decent espresso, and a tiny fridge that holds a few drinks. I spent an afternoon there, sipping coffee and watching the city wake up. In the evenings, the noise levels are pretty low; you only hear the distant chatter from the café across the street, and that’s it. The bed is a perfect mix of plush comfort and firm support, so you wake up ready for a day of exploring.

Parking is a bit of a hassle if you’re arriving by car. The street in front of Princess Apartment – Old Town is narrow and only allows for a single vehicle at a time, so you’ll need to walk a few dozen meters to the nearest paid parking lot on Gdańsk Street. It’s not a huge deal if you’re planning to walk or use the tram, but do plan ahead, especially during the busy summer months. Speaking of which, the apartment is best visited in late spring or early autumn; the crowds are thinner, the weather is warm but not scorching, and you’ll still catch the lively atmosphere of the Old Town without the rush of peak season.

One thing to note: the apartment’s bathroom feels a bit cramped, and the shower’s water pressure could use a little boost. It’s a minor gripe, but if you’re a shower enthusiast, you might want to stay a bit shorter or bring a small portable shower head. That said, the overall cleanliness is spot-on; I found the linens pristine and the tiny toiletries perfectly stocked. The staff are friendly enough to drop a note with a local tip—there’s a hidden gem on Piotrkowska Street where you can get a killer pierogi that’s not on any tourist guide. That’s the kind of insider info that makes Princess Apartment – Old Town feel like a home base rather than just a place to sleep.

In short, it’s a solid 4‑star spot that earns its 9.3 rating because it combines authenticity, convenience, and a touch of local charm. If you’re planning a trip to Gdańsk and want to stay somewhere that feels like a real slice of the city rather than a generic hotel, this is a spot you’ll want to remember. The experience is honest, the vibe relaxed, and the location unbeatable for exploring the Old Town’s streets, markets, and hidden cafés. You’ll get the city’s rhythm right in your ears and the comfort of a good night’s sleep at the end of the day. Enjoy it, and you’ll feel like you’ve found that secret corner of Gdańsk that only the locals know.
