Apartament Artemis 1

Apartament Artemis 1 Overview

Apartament Artemis 1 sits on Cienista 26/26, right on the edge of the old town’s maze of cobblestones, so you can hear the clatter of trams and the distant hum of the Motława River even when you’re in your room. I checked in at 3 pm on a breezy June afternoon, and the front desk clerk—Polish and a bit of a history buff—handed me a key card with a smile that felt like a warm welcome to an old friend. The lobby was a neat mix of minimalist décor and a few vintage Gdańsk postcards, and the scent of freshly brewed coffee from the café downstairs made the whole place feel instantly homey. Parking was a breeze: there’s a small, free street‑parking lot a block away, and the building’s own underground spot is no more expensive than the city’s standard rates, which is a nice surprise for a 4‑star place.

I spent my first morning strolling down Stary Rynek, the cobblestones slick from a light drizzle, and the aroma of pierogi from a nearby vendor drifted back to the hotel, making me realize how close the culinary scene is. By noon, I was back in my room, and honestly, the bed was a quiet, almost luxurious surprise—plush linens, a mattress that felt like it was made of memory foam but not too firm, and a subtle scent of lavender that didn’t overpower the room. The windows open onto a small courtyard that’s surprisingly green, with a couple of potted herbs that the staff kept fresh. I could see the city’s skyline and the distant cranes of shipyards, a reminder that Gdańsk is still very much alive. Check‑out is flexible; the staff told me there’s no hard rush, which is a relief if your flight is late or you’re just feeling the city’s vibe.

Evenings at Apartament Artemis 1 have a different rhythm. The building’s location means you’ll hear the gentle buzz of nightlife, but the walls are thick enough that you can’t feel the bass from the clubs across the street. The sound of a distant saxophone from a jazz bar on Długa street is a pleasant lullaby that mixes with the occasional gull cry from the Baltic breeze. I spent a Saturday night in the lounge area, sipping a glass of local white wine, and the staff—always courteous, never intrusive—kept the atmosphere relaxed. The Wi‑Fi is fast, but I actually found myself turning off my phone to just listen to the city’s night sounds. For those who love the hustle, Apartament Artemis 1 offers a quiet sanctuary; for the night owls, it’s a convenient base. Overall, it’s a 4‑star gem with a 9.5 rating that feels like a home away from home, especially if you’re looking for a place that blends historic charm with the practical comforts of modern travel.
