Amber Port by Grand Apartments

Amber Port by Grand Apartments Overview

Amber Port by Grand Apartments sits right on 11 Świętej Barbary, so when you walk in, the first thing that hits you is the smell of fresh bread from the bakery on Motława Street just a block away. The front desk is pretty friendly, but the check‑in process can feel a bit rushed on weekday mornings—staff are juggling multiple rooms at once. They do hand you a key card and a quick map of the city, which is handy because the nearest metro stop is still a 10‑minute walk. I mean, you could take a taxi, but you’ll likely end up in the same traffic jam as the rest of the old town. The lobby has a small café corner where you can grab a coffee and a slice of pierogi, and the barista knows the best spot for a latte with a view of the harbor.

When you peek into your room, you’ll notice the walls are painted in a warm, earthy tone that matches the amber hue of the nearby river. The bed is surprisingly comfortable—plush enough to sink into after a day of wandering, yet firm enough that you can actually get a good night’s sleep. The bathroom’s shower has a good water pressure, but the tile feels a bit gritty if you’re not careful (just wash your hands before you step in). There’s a small balcony that overlooks the canal, and if you’re lucky, you’ll hear the distant hum of the city at night. Parking is a bit of a hassle; there’s a paid lot on Staszic Street, but it’s usually full during the summer months. If you’re staying in the city during off‑peak, you can find a few free spots on the street right next to the hotel.

What really makes Amber Port by Grand Apartments memorable is its proximity to the local gems. The old town is only a quick stroll away, and you can walk past the iconic Gdańsk Crane before hitting the cathedral’s bell tower. I spent an afternoon at the nearby museum of the Polish Navy, and the guide was so enthusiastic you could feel the history in the walls. For a taste of the locals, head to the market on Gdańska Street; the vendors sell fresh sausage and artisanal cheeses that smell like summer. The only real downside? The hotel’s elevator is a bit slow, so if you’re carrying a lot of luggage, you’ll have to pace yourself. But honestly, the staff know this, and they’ll offer you a free towel if you mention the elevator’s quirks. All in all, Amber Port by Grand Apartments feels like a cozy, well‑placed home base that gives you the freedom to explore Gdańsk on your own terms—just be ready to navigate a few minor inconveniences and you’ll have a great stay in the heart of this historic city.

Gdansk’s apartments offer spacious accommodations with Baltic charm, perfect for families wanting to experience daily life in this historically significant Polish coastal city.
