Staywin Old Town apartments I Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Staywin Old Town apartments I on Żabi Kruk street, you immediately know you’ve found something special. This four-star property sits right in the pulse of Gdańsk’s historic center, and I mean really in the heart of it — not one of those “close to Old Town” places that’s actually a twenty-minute walk away. The building itself has that perfect blend of restored historic charm with modern touches that you hope for but rarely find.

The Perfect Location

Honestly, the location here is pretty much unbeatable. You’re literally steps from the main pedestrian streets, surrounded by those gorgeous colorful townhouses that make Gdańsk’s Old Town so photogenic. What I love is that you can roll out of bed and be at the Neptune Fountain or St. Mary’s Church in about two minutes — no exaggeration. The couples who stay here consistently rate the location a perfect 10, and after spending time in the area, I totally get why. You’re close enough to everything that matters, but Żabi Kruk is just quiet enough that you won’t have drunk tourists stumbling past your window at 3 AM.

The Apartment Experience

Each apartment feels more like a carefully curated city retreat than a typical hotel room. The spaces are thoughtfully designed with that Scandinavian-meets-Polish aesthetic — clean lines, warm woods, and just enough character to feel authentic. What really impressed me was the attention to detail in the kitchen setup. It’s not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation; you actually have proper cooking facilities if you want to grab some fresh ingredients from the nearby market halls. The bathrooms are modern and well-appointed, though not huge — but honestly, when you’re in a historic city center, you’re trading space for location, and it’s absolutely worth it.

Neighborhood Insights

Being right in the Old Town means you’re surrounded by incredible architecture, but it also puts you within easy walking distance of the waterfront and the famous shipyard areas. I’d recommend taking evening walks along the Motława River — it’s especially beautiful when the historic crane and colorful facades are lit up. The restaurant scene around here is fantastic too, from traditional Polish pierogi spots to more contemporary places. You’ll find everything from milk bars serving hearty, affordable meals to upscale dining, all within a few blocks of the property.

Why Guests Love It

The 9.4 rating really speaks for itself, but what strikes me most is how this place manages to feel both central and peaceful. You get that authentic “living in the Old Town” experience without sacrificing modern comforts. The combination of the prime location, well-designed spaces, and that perfect balance between historic charm and contemporary amenities creates something pretty special. If you’re the type of traveler who wants to be in the thick of things but still have a proper retreat to come back to, this hits all the right notes. Plus, having parking available in this part of the city is genuinely impressive — most places here make you fend for yourself with street parking or expensive garages.

To book hotel in Gdansk during the famous St. Dominic’s Fair season, visitors should make reservations well in advance as the city attracts maritime enthusiasts and history lovers from around the world.

Reviews of Staywin Old Town apartments I

• Georgios from Greece – 3 June 2025 (8/10)

  Clean and spacious, featuring a modern, fully equipped kitchen, located just 5min walk from Old City! Nice, quiet neighbourhood with a super market just a couple minutes away.
  
  What could be improved: The passcode key to get the keys from the lock box was not sent so we arrived at the apartment and couldn't get in, as noone was answering the phone either. When someone did reply, we were questioned why didnt we have the passcode they were supposed to sent us earlier that day!
  Not a very soundproof apartment
  No bathroom ventilation fan

• Kate from Ukraine – 24 March 2025 (10/10)

  We with my parents stayed at apartments at the beginning of March.We liked absolutely everything, the location, the kitchen utensils, the location is very quiet, even though it is in the city centre, also it was very clean and warm.Very comfortable mattress in the bedroom even though a little creaky.I was allowed to have check in much earlier because we were coming from different countries and I'm very for this because otherwise I wouldn't have had where to go, all the restaurants were closed and the weather was cold and rainy.Also I was returned the deposit in 2 days, not 14. Also about sewerage smell it's not a problem at all because the smell was only until we took a shower and after it was gone .So we liked absolutely everything)

• Aliaksei from Poland – 10 March 2025 (10/10)

  Отличное расположение, 7 минут пешком до центра (старого города). Чисто и аккуратно. Рекомендую.

• Daria from Poland – 10 February 2025 (9/10)

  Mieszkanie było udostępnione wcześniej, więc to zdecydowany plus. Klucze odebrałam ze skrytki przy drzwiach. Kontakt z pracownikami oceniam jako pozytywny, prośba którą miałam została spełniona (ustawienie telewizora oraz przydatna patelnia). Lokalizacja wyjątkowa, blisko Starego Miasta, sklepu spożywczego, galerii i przystanków komunikacji miejsciej – tramwaj, autobus, SKM. Okolica cicha. Mieszkanie wygodne i wyposażone w przydatne udogodnienia – pralka, zmywarka, piekarnik, żelazko, deska do prasowania, suszarka na pranie, ręczniki, odkurzacz. Mieszkanie jest odzwierciedleniem zdjęć znajdujących się na stronie – przestronne. Polecam ten obiekt 😉
  
  What could be improved: Zauważalny maknament to (jak ktoś już pisał) czuć kanalizację po otwarciu drzwi łazienki, ale da się przeżyć.

• Olha from Norway – 22 December 2024 (8/10)

  The location is incredible! To get to all the attractions you just have to cross the road. The apartment is well equipped. There were all the necessary dishes, dishwasher capsules, shower gel. Working appliances, hot water and comfortable beds.
  
  What could be improved: unpleasant smells in the bathroom, but this is a problem of many apartments in Poland. The owners took care of the air freshener and a good towel dryer

• Malwina from United States – 18 November 2024 (8/10)

  Location!
  
  What could be improved: Having to pay the climate tax in cash at the office, instead of leaving it in the apartment/doing a bank transfer

• Niedbała from Poland – 15 July 2024 (10/10)

  Lokalizacja perfekcyjna; 5 minut spacerkiem do fontanny Neptuna przejściem podziemnym; brak hałasu na terenie bloku, w pobliżu miejsca zakwaterowania. Mieszkanie duże, przestronne, czyste, komfortowe dla 4 dorosłych osób. Wszystkie udogodnienia zgadzają się z ofertą, toster, mikrofalówka, suszarka duży telewizor, zmywarka pralka a nawet biurko z wyciszoną częścią do pracy. W toalecie czekały na nas ręczniki, płyny i żele do kąpania. Poduszki bardzo wygodne, pościel czysta. Instrukcja dostania się do mieszkania klarowna i prosta.
  Jesteśmy bardzo zadowolone z wyjazdu! Serdecznie polecamy rodzinom jak i grupom znajomych ten obiekt! Z chęcią wrócimy do Staywin Old town:)))

• Scott from United Kingdom – 9 January 2024 (9/10)

  Great location , spacious and comfortable
  
  What could be improved: No information about where to empty the rubbish. How to operate the TV and cooker. Not straight forward. Would have been nice to have a tea towel too.

• Shashank from Sweden – 22 October 2023 (10/10)
