VIU Cinnamon Apartment

VIU Cinnamon Apartment Overview

VIU Cinnamon Apartment sits on Świętego Ducha 68, just off the bustling streets of Gdańsk’s Old Town. I remember the first time I walked up that block – the cobblestones were still a bit mossy, and the smell of fresh pierogi from a nearby corner shop was almost a welcome perfume. The building itself is a charming 1930s brick structure, with a little wrought‑iron gate that feels like a portal into a quieter part of the city. Check‑in was a breeze; the front desk guy greeted me with a smile and handed me a key card that worked like a charm, no card machine drama, just a quick scan and the lights opened up. There’s a small storage locker, which is handy because the apartment’s kitchen is surprisingly stocked with a few essentials – you’ll have everything you need to whip up a quick breakfast or a coffee with a view.

Inside, the space feels like a cozy loft rather than a hotel room. The walls are painted in soft neutrals that make the area look airy, but the real charm comes from the details: a vintage wooden coffee table that looks like it’s been passing through generations, and a plush sofa that’s the perfect spot to curl up after a day of exploring. You’ll notice the quiet – the building’s double‑glazed windows keep out the city hum, so you can drift off to the distant sound of a tram clattering by. There is a small balcony that opens onto a narrow alleyway; I swear the scent of roasted chestnuts from the nearby market will drift in during the fall. The apartment comes with a mini‑fridge and a kettle – no need to hunt for a vending machine in the middle of the night. Parking isn’t a hassle either; there’s a discreet underground spot for a small fee, and it’s right next to the entrance, so you’re never stuck looking for a spot in the street. The only thing that could have been better is the lack of a dedicated laundry area, but hey, a towel rack and a small washing machine in the hallway usually do the trick.

When it comes to the neighborhood, you’ll find yourself walking past some of Gdańsk’s hidden gems. Take a short stroll to the Oliwa Park – the cathedral’s organ concerts are a must‑experience if you’re there in the summer. For a taste of local life, head to the street market on St. Mary’s Square; the vendors sell everything from fresh fish to handmade lace, and the chatter of the locals is a comforting soundtrack. If you’re a foodie, the tiny trattoria on the corner of Świętego Ducha is famous for its homemade pierogi, and the next door bakery serves the best rye bread you’ve ever tasted. I have to admit, the only downside was that the apartment’s floorboards creak a little when you walk at night, but honestly, that only adds to the old‑world charm. Overall, staying at VIU Cinnamon Apartment felt like having a home base in the heart of Gdańsk, with all the comforts you’d expect and a few surprises that only come from a place that locals really know and love.

Reviews of VIU Cinnamon Apartment

• Monika from Poland – 3 May 2025 (9/10)

  Bardzo dobra lokalizacja, blisko do Wyspy Spichrzów.
  
  What could be improved: Ściany wymagają pomalowania, krzesełka wymagaja wymiany na nowe (są brudne).

• Santos from Peru – 29 December 2024 (10/10)

  Estuve tres noches en este hermoso departamento y la experiencia fue excelente. El lugar es moderno, con una decoración muy cuidada y elegante. Todo estaba impecablemente limpio y ordenado, lo cual hizo que me sintiera muy cómodo. Además, la ubicación es inmejorable, en pleno centro, lo que me permitió acceder fácilmente a todas las atracciones turísticas y servicios cercanos. Sin duda, una opción altamente recomendada para quienes buscan comodidad, estilo y cercanía a lo mejor de la ciudad. ¡Volvería sin dudarlo!
  
  What could be improved: No pudimos prender la cocina 😔 y no había microondas así que no pudimos calentar la comida que teníamos.

  Lokalizacja

• Michal from Spain – 12 September 2023 (7/10)

  Very centric apartment, within walking distance to almost anywhere in Gdańsk, including main viewpoints as well as the train station.
  The views we got were directly on a calm street with lovely colourful houses. Under the apartment however there's a restaurant, but with closed windows we didn't hear a thing. We were lucky to have great weather but it wasn't too hot so we didn't need to have the windows open.
  
  What could be improved: I guess that the water pressure was really annoying. It was weak and also changed from hot to cold in a second and back to hot.
  Another thing was that the locker that had our keys inside, which is by the apartment's door, was used also to leave keys from other checked out guests. Why not use each locker separately as every apartment has got one?

• Laima from Lithuania – 6 August 2023 (10/10)

  Centrally located flat, accessible by lift. Cozy decorated and quiet.
  
  What could be improved: Was good.

  från början mycket varmt i lägenheten vilket var skönt mot slutet blev det mycket kallt slogs värmen av ?

• Parafin from Poland – 9 January 2023 (9/10)

  Apartament w świetnym miejscu, w centrum Gdańska. Wszędzie było blisko:) Instrukcje zameldowania w pełni zrozumiałe, chociaż klucze umieszczone w dość nietypowym miejscu 🙂 Byliśmy w zimę i w pokoju było bardzo ciepło mimo mroźnych dni. Szczerze polecamy!
  
  What could be improved: Myślę, że najwyższa pora odświeżyć apartament. Było czysto i przyjemnie, natomiast widać, że niektóre elementy mają już swoje lata.

• Rake1e from Italy – 13 December 2022 (9/10)

  The apartment was very clean and organized. The bed was really comfy and the furnitures were pretty new.
  The kitchen had everything! The apartment had also iron and ironing table and umbrellas.
  The view and the position were perfect.
  
  What could be improved: There was no soap nor shower gel for bathroom but the shops are just few steps away.
