Waterlane Vintage – Fitness & Parking by Downtown Apartments

Waterlane Vintage – Fitness & Parking by Downtown Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Waterlane Vintage – Fitness & Parking by Downtown Apartments on Wałowa Street, you immediately get that “I’m in the right place” feeling. This four-star property sits right in the thick of Gdańsk’s historic center, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better — I mean, you’re literally steps away from everything that makes this city special. The building itself has this nice blend of vintage charm with modern touches, which pretty much sets the tone for what you’ll find inside.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about staying here — you can walk to the Main Town’s colorful facades in about three minutes, and the famous Neptune Fountain is practically around the corner. The Royal Way, where all the tourist action happens, is so close you’ll probably end up strolling past it multiple times just because you can. What really surprised me though was how quiet this street actually is, despite being so central. You know what’s even better? They’ve got free private parking right on site, which is honestly a game-changer in Gdańsk’s old town where finding a spot can be a real headache.

The Apartment Experience

The room I stayed in felt more like a well-designed urban apartment than a typical hotel space. There’s a proper kitchenette that’s actually functional — not just for show — which came in handy when I wanted to grab some local groceries from the nearby market and have a quiet breakfast before hitting the sights. The vintage elements they’ve incorporated aren’t overdone either; it’s more subtle touches that give the place character without feeling like you’re staying in a museum.

Amenities That Actually Matter

The fitness area is compact but well-equipped — perfect for keeping up with your routine without having to venture out to find a gym. I actually used it a couple times, and it’s got everything you need for a decent workout. The whole setup feels thoughtfully planned rather than just thrown together, which you notice in little details like the quality of the equipment and how the space is laid out. Plus, having that parking situation sorted means you can easily explore beyond Gdańsk if you’re planning day trips to places like Malbork Castle or the coastal areas.

Why Guests Love It

Look, couples especially seem to gravitate toward this place, and after staying here, I totally get why. There’s something about the combination of being right in the heart of everything while still having your own private space that just works for romantic getaways. The 8.9 rating speaks for itself, but what really stood out to me was how the staff genuinely seemed to care about making sure everything was sorted. It’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town — it’s just really good at being exactly what most travelers actually want: a comfortable, well-located base with the freedom to do your own thing.

  It matched the online description

• Evaldas from Lithuania – 6 November 2023 (9/10)

  I stayed in these booked apartments for 3 days, and it was a great experience overall. The location was excellent, just a 15-minute walk from the old town, and there was convenient parking and even a mini gym. The apartment was very clean and well-maintained.
  Overall, I had a pleasant stay, and I would recommend these apartments for a comfortable visit to the city.
  
  What could be improved: There were a couple of minor issues, though. Adjusting the water temperature in the shower was quite challenging; it required a lot of effort. Additionally, there were initial Wi-Fi problems due to the hosts mixing up access points and passwords. However, they efficiently resolved this issue by the second day.

• Ivy from United Kingdom – 22 October 2023 (9/10)

  So clean and beautifully furnished
  
  What could be improved: Simple thing like instructions to use hob.

• Kirsten from United Kingdom – 20 October 2023 (9/10)

  Excellent location, apartment easy to access with clear instructions, building beautiful, clean and maintained to an excellent standard. and very good value for money, beds very comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: Very little we didn’t like, apartment was excellent however could do with a few key things that are missing. Appear very new so May be added but 2nd bedroom has no furniture within, wardrobe in main living area but could do with a surface, plugs are half way up wall, not usable without anyplace to put phones to plug them in. Also a toaster would have been a good addition.

• Tomasa2 from Slovakia – 18 September 2023 (9/10)

  It's a really good location, close to the city centre and what I think is more interesting (for me): The docks are really close. So if you are into industrial definitely good place to stay. Plus you are really close to where modern Polish history begins.
  
  What could be improved: One thing and people mentioned this before. If you travel by car first you have to go to your room and pick up remote control to open gate so you can enter the parking place and because it is pretty busy street you can have a problem to find a parking place for that brief moment. But when we went there, we were in touch with property manager and they directed us to their office (which is near) so we pick up remote control from gate. After that we just right away parked at yard. Really good solution and managers listens to customers. So this probably should go to section "what did you like".

• Matilda from Lithuania – 2 September 2023 (9/10)

  Very beautiful, tidy, nice apartments. Close to the Old Town, convenient place. Apartment very nice, comfortable, everything what is needed. Love it!
