The Heart of Old Town Apartments Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to The Heart of Old Town Apartments on Mariacka Street, you immediately understand why this place earned its name. I mean, you’re literally standing in the most picturesque part of Gdańsk‘s historic center — those amber shops and medieval townhouses aren’t just nearby, they’re your neighbors. This four-star property sits right where the action is, and honestly, the location alone would make it worth staying here. The building itself has that restored historic charm that fits perfectly with the cobblestone streets around it.
The Apartment Experience
What really sets this place apart is that you’re getting a proper apartment rather than just a hotel room. Each unit comes with its own kitchen, which is actually a game-changer when you’re staying in Old Town — you can grab fresh ingredients from the nearby market halls and cook at home, or just have a proper coffee in the morning without hunting for a café. The apartments are spacious enough that you don’t feel cramped, and the furnishings strike that sweet spot between modern comfort and respecting the historic setting. You know what impressed me most? The beds are genuinely comfortable — not just “hotel comfortable,” but the kind where you actually sleep well.
Location Perfection
I’ve stayed in a lot of places in Gdańsk, and this location is honestly unbeatable. You’re a two-minute walk from St. Mary’s Basilica, and the Main Town Hall is practically around the corner. The famous Long Market (Długi Targ) is so close you can pop back to your place between sightseeing sessions — which you’ll definitely want to do because walking those cobblestones all day can be tiring. What’s really smart about staying here is that you can experience Old Town in the evening after the day-trippers leave, when the streets get quieter and the whole area feels more authentic.
Practical Perks
Here’s something you don’t expect in the heart of a historic district — free parking right on site. Trust me, if you’re driving in Gdańsk, this is huge. The Old Town streets are narrow and finding parking can be a nightmare, so having your own spot is worth its weight in gold. The staff actually knows the area well too, which makes a difference when you need recommendations that go beyond the obvious tourist spots. They pointed me toward some local restaurant gems that I never would have found otherwise.
Why Guests Love It
The 9.8 rating isn’t just numbers — it reflects what happens when location, comfort, and practical amenities come together perfectly. Couples especially seem to love this place, and I get why. There’s something romantic about having your own little apartment in one of Europe’s most beautiful historic centers, being able to cook dinner together, then step outside for an evening stroll along streets that look like they’re straight out of a fairy tale. You’re not just visiting Gdańsk’s Old Town, you’re actually living in it for a few days, and that makes all the difference.
Hotels in Gdansk offer visitors the opportunity to stay in the heart of this Baltic gem, with easy access to shipyards, museums, and coastal attractions.

The property is clean, bright, and perfectly situated in Old town Gdańsk. The owners thought of everything. There were maps and booklets on things to do in the city plus thoughtful touches like shampoo and conditioner to use in the shower. The owners are helpful and available. When we couldn’t find the parking entrance behind the building, they met us in town where we determined we were lost and led us to the property. They made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Simply perfect!

The host was so helpful and met us on arrival and just a phonecall away should any issues arise. Apartment was well located on the second floor overlooking a beautiful street below and close to all attractions. The interior well designed, spacious, tastefully decorated and exceptionally clean. Beds and pillows very comfortable and blackout blinds excellent. It was also very quiet at night and we would highly recommend.

The property was in a fantastic location and was furnished to an excellent standard, it felt more like a home than a holiday apartment. You could feel the love that the owners have for it. It was spotlessly clean and had great facilities. Fabulous place to stay in Gdansk

The location, amenities in the apartment, and the cleanliness were unbelievable. The small details such as cold bottled water in the fridge and new cleaning sponges for the dishes were appreciated. The owner was also very welcoming.
