Yellow Lotus Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Yellow Lotus on a quiet residential street in Gdańsk, you honestly wouldn’t expect much from the outside — it’s tucked into what looks like a converted building that blends right into the neighborhood. But that’s actually part of its charm, I think. This four-star property has that understated elegance thing going for it, where the real magic happens once you step inside. The entrance feels more like walking into a friend’s beautifully designed home than a typical hotel lobby.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about where Yellow Lotus sits — you’re in Gdańsk but not drowning in tourist crowds every time you step outside. The Orłowska area gives you this perfect balance of being close enough to everything that matters while still feeling like you’re experiencing how locals actually live. You can walk to the historic Old Town in about 15 minutes, which honestly beats dealing with parking headaches in the city center. Plus, there’s parking right on site, which anyone who’s tried to find a spot in European city centers will tell you is basically gold.

The Room Experience

My room was… well, let me put it this way — I’ve stayed in places that cost twice as much and felt half as thoughtful. The design walks this nice line between modern comfort and subtle Polish touches without going overboard on either side. Everything actually works (you know how hotel air conditioning can be a gamble), and the bed was one of those where you sink in just enough without feeling like you’re being swallowed. The bathroom was spotless, and I mean spotless — sometimes it’s the small things that make you realize a place really cares about what they’re doing.

What Makes It Special

You know what struck me most about Yellow Lotus? The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there, which creates this relaxed atmosphere that’s hard to fake. They know the neighborhood inside and out — not just the obvious tourist spots but where to grab the best pierogi or which tram line actually runs on time. The common areas have this lived-in elegance that makes you want to hang out with a coffee rather than just rush through. It’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, but everything they do, they do really well.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.7 rating isn’t an accident — couples especially seem to get what this place is about, probably because it strikes that sweet spot between romantic and unpretentious. You can have a quiet morning coffee together, explore the city without fighting crowds right outside your door, then come back to a space that feels like a retreat. The location score of 9.3 tells the real story here — guests figure out pretty quickly that being slightly off the main drag actually makes their stay better, not worse. It’s one of those places where you end up staying an extra night just because leaving feels like too much work.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Gdansk through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best neighborhoods for experiencing the city’s maritime heritage and cultural attractions.

  • Sebastian from Germany – 30 May 2025 (10/10)

    Czyste, wygodne mieszkanie. Pomimo swoich niewielkich rozmiarów świetnie wyposażone. Wszystko sprawne i zadbane. Polecam, w pobliżu Ergo Arena.

  • Sylwia from Poland – 28 May 2025 (9/10)

    Super wyposażona kawalerka. Pralka, piekarnik. Niezbędne rzeczy w kuchni, kawa, herbata, sól, filtr do wody, ekspres. Rolety w oknach ułatwiły wypoczynek. Wszystko czego można chcieć.

    What could be improved: 4 piętro bez windy. Lokal dość mały, idealny dla dwóch osób, dla większej ilości może być ciasno. Wentylacja w łazience słaba.
