3 City Apartments – Green Island

3 City Apartments – Green Island Overview

3 City Apartments – Green Island is tucked between the cobbled lanes of the Old Town and the riverbank, so you feel like you’re walking into a postcard every time you step out. The first thing that hits you is the smell of freshly baked rye bread drifting from the bakery on Śniadaniowa Street—right next door. I’ve been there a dozen times, and every time the staff greets you by name, which is a rare treat in this part of Gdańsk. Check‑in is surprisingly smooth; the desk guy, Marek, does a quick “Welcome, how was your train?” in Polish, then hands you the keycard with a wink. I mean, you don’t see that level of personal touch in most city hotels. Parking is a breeze—there’s a small paid lot just a block over on Kaszubska, and if you’re tight on time, the street parking on the left of the building is usually free after 9 pm. The only downside is the occasional siren from the nearby tram line, but honestly, it’s a normal city noise and never keeps you up.

The rooms themselves are a blend of modern chic and Polish nostalgia. The living area is spacious enough to stretch out after a day of waddling around the Motława River, and the kitchenette, though compact, has everything you need—espresso machine, a small fridge, even a kettle for that midnight Polish tea. I love the window view; on clear days you can see the silhouette of the St. Mary’s Church and the whole Old Town shimmering in the distance. The bed is unexpectedly plush, and the bedding feels like a cloud of linen—perfect for those long nights after a day of exploring. The bathroom is a neat little space with a rainfall shower that feels like a spa, and the sound of the running tap is oddly soothing. If you’re a bit picky about noise, the apartment’s location is quiet enough, even when the city’s nightlife is buzzing outside. The building’s elevator is fast, which is handy if you’re carrying bags from the airport; just keep an eye on the small plaque that says “no smoking” on the top floor.

What really makes 3 City Apartments – Green Island stand out is the little touches that only a local would know. The night market on Trzech Króli Street is a must‑visit for street food lovers—think pierogi, hot sausages, and the best kartoflowa cake you’ll ever taste. In the mornings, there’s a farmer’s market on Iława, where you can pick fresh fish and pickles that are still on the stall. I’ve also discovered a hidden café on Długa Street that serves the best latte; the barista knows your name after your first visit. If you’re traveling in the summer, the river promenade is a great spot to watch the sunset over the Baltic, and the wind is just enough to keep the hair in place without being a nightmare. In winter, the area around the hotel lights up with holiday decorations, and the smell of mulled wine wafts from the corner shop on Stragan. The rating of 9.2 isn’t just a number; it’s a reflection of how the place feels like a home away from home, blending comfort, convenience, and a touch of local flavor that you won’t find in a chain hotel. And that, my friend, is why I keep coming back to 3 City Apartments – Green Island.

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.
