Rajska Old Town Apartment by BookingHost

Rajska Old Town Apartment by BookingHost Overview

When I first stepped into Rajska Old Town Apartment by BookingHost, the first thing that hit me was how cozy it felt—like stepping into a friend’s apartment rather than a hotel. The front desk was a small, wooden counter with a handwritten welcome note in Polish that said, “Cześć!” (Hi!). Check‑in was quick; the staff handed a keycard and a map that highlighted the narrow cobblestone lanes of the Old Town, plus the exact spot where the best pierogi shop is just a two‑minute walk away. I mean, you know what? The place already felt like a secret spot. The apartment itself is a single‑room flat with a surprisingly spacious layout: a tiny kitchen, a balcony that looks out onto the bustling Motława River, and that big, comfy sofa that you can sink into after a long day of wandering. I could hear the distant bells of St. Mary’s Church and the occasional chatter of locals in English and Polish—so it’s not too quiet, but not noisy either.

I spent the afternoon exploring the area because the address—Rajska 4C, 80‑850 Gdańsk—places it right in the heart of the Old Town. From there, I walked past the colorful facades of the Royal Castle, slipped into the narrow alley that leads to the famous “Café Miodowy” (Honey Café), and ended up at the picturesque waterfront where you can watch the boats drift by. Parking? There’s a small lot just a block away, but be ready for a quick hunt during peak tourist season—it’s like a scavenger hunt. The apartment’s Wi‑Fi is solid, but I did notice a faint hiss from the HVAC unit at night—nothing major, just a little background noise you can ignore. The bed was super comfortable, and the linens felt like a fresh, clean sheet from a boutique hotel, which is a nice touch.

Honestly, the only thing that could use a tweak is the bathroom. The shower head is a bit old, so the water pressure is a tad low, but that’s a tiny gripe compared to the overall experience. What really makes Rajska Old Town Apartment by BookingHost stand out is the little details: the complimentary local guidebook tucked into a drawer, the small jar of Gdańsk honey on the counter, and the way the staff always had a recommendation for a hidden gem in the city. If you’re planning a trip during the summer, be ready for the usual crowds around the Old Town square, but the apartment’s location means you’ll still get that early‑morning quiet before the crowds arrive. For a mix of local atmosphere, comfortable accommodations, and a touch of insider knowledge, I’d say this place is a solid choice.
