Scala City Center Apartments & Studios by Lion Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Scala City Center Apartments & Studios by Lion Apartments, you immediately get that “this is exactly where I want to be” feeling. The building sits right in the thick of Gdańsk’s historic center, and I mean really in the heart of it — you can practically hear the buzz of the old town from your window. It’s one of those places where you step outside and you’re already where everyone else is trying to get to.

The Apartment Experience

What I love about this place is that you’re not getting a cramped hotel room — you’re getting a proper apartment with space to actually live a bit. The studios and larger units come with real kitchens (not those sad little hotel coffee corners), which honestly makes such a difference when you want to grab some local groceries or just make coffee the way you like it. The kitchen setups are modern and functional — I’ve stayed in places where the “kitchenette” was basically decorative, but these actually work.

Location Magic

Here’s the thing about the location — couples absolutely rave about it, and I get why. You’re walking distance from everything that matters in Gdańsk’s old town, but you’re not right on top of the tourist chaos. The Royal Way is just a few minutes’ walk, and you can easily stroll to the iconic crane at the harbor or explore the amber shops without feeling like you need to plan your whole day around transportation. I mean, when a location scores 9.7, there’s usually a good reason for it.

What Sets It Apart

The four-star rating feels right — it’s polished without being stuffy, and the apartments have that modern European efficiency that just works. You know what I noticed? The little details actually matter here. Good Wi-Fi, proper lighting, windows that open the way they should. It’s the kind of place where you don’t spend your first hour figuring out how everything works or dealing with weird quirks. The building itself feels well-maintained, and there’s something reassuring about staying with Lion Apartments — they seem to know what they’re doing.

Why Guests Love It

Honestly, it comes down to freedom and location. You get the independence of having your own space (which is huge when you’re traveling as a couple or just want some breathing room) combined with being in the absolute sweet spot of the city. The 9.5 rating tells the story — people leave here feeling like they got exactly what they wanted. You’re not fighting for elevator space with tour groups, you’re not eating the same hotel breakfast every day, and you’re definitely not wondering what’s happening in the real Gdańsk because you’re right in the middle of it. It’s that simple combination of comfort, space, and location that’s honestly pretty hard to beat.

Exploring Gdansk offers visitors an unforgettable journey through Poland’s maritime heart, from its magnificent Gothic churches to its amber workshops and legendary shipyards where Solidarity was born.

Reviews of Scala City Center Apartments & Studios by Lion Apartments

• Alžběta from Czech Republic – 29 May 2025 (9/10)

  It is very nice and well equipped flat
  
  What could be improved: neighbors next door on our floor were pretty noisy in the night, so I needed earplugs to sleep well

• Alan from United Kingdom – 10 February 2025 (10/10)

  Good location (set drop off as hotel sadova as taxi couldn't find apartment as it's a new building), secure apartment, fully equipped kitchen facilities, comfortable bed and sofa. Warm in winter and has a fan for summer. Communication for check in was efficient. Fast wifi
  
  What could be improved: There is construction work but it is clearly stated before booking but really had no effect on us. Maybe in summer sitting on the balcony for a while wouldn't be so good. City tax payable through a link that I'm not sure is fully secure?

• Connor from United Kingdom – 10 December 2024 (10/10)

  Spacious, high end and homely. Has every amenity you would need including pans, pots, cups, cutlery, washing machine etc.
  
  What could be improved: The distance of the bin shed from the property and couldn’t find the reception

• Brigid from Ireland – 8 December 2024 (10/10)

  Apartment clean had everything you needed lovely balcony
  
  What could be improved: WiFi dreadful and heating not sufficient for size of apartment but luckily wasn't in minus degrees

• Michael from United Kingdom – 30 November 2024 (10/10)

  Amazing location with easy walking distance to top attractions, shops, restaurants etc… The apartment had eveything you could need, from incredible coffee machine to washing machine and even board games. It was incredibly clean, checking in and out was easy and well detailed via message, replies were always quick also. We felt safe and could relax in the evening as the apartment was well furnished and decorated to feel welcoming.
  
  What could be improved: None

• Kristine from Latvia – 31 October 2024 (10/10)

  I liked the location, cleanliness, everything was modern!
  
  What could be improved: We didn’t know that we have to pay city tax through the apartment system. There is no option to pay by ApplePay, Paypal and I had to give my credit card data for paying just 3 euro tax. I think it is not safe and I don’t get it why city tax can not be included in booking.com price. Thats why I chooses booking.com that it is safe and there is nothing to worry about. But this is really worrying me to pay extra on some polish platform.

  This is one of the best appartmens i visited in last 2 years. Clean, have everything you need, close to centrum, perfekt
