Apartament Baltic View, Nowa Letnica Gdańsk

Apartament Baltic View, Nowa Letnica Gdańsk Overview

Apartament Baltic View was my first stop when I landed in Gdańsk, and let me tell you—up to the moment I stepped inside, I could feel the buzz of the city. The building sits right on Starowiejska, a narrow cobblestone lane that feels like a secret alley in the middle of the lively Old Town. The front door opens onto a small courtyard that already smells faintly of fresh bread from the bakery on the corner—by the way, that place makes the best rye on the next block, just a five‑minute walk. The check‑in was straightforward: a friendly front desk clerk with a quick smile, then a keyless pad that let me go straight into my room, no waiting in line, no awkward “Can I do this?” moments. I mean, honestly, it’s a relief when you’re traveling and not having to wait around for the key.

The room itself is surprisingly spacious for a 4‑star rating, with a view that actually lives up to the name—hence the “Baltic View.” From the big windows you can see the shimmering water of the Gdańsk Bay, and on a clear day the waves light up the sky like a moving painting. The interior is a nice blend of modern and local charm: the walls are painted in muted tones that complement the antique wooden floorboards, and the furnishings are simple but comfortable. I spent most evenings on the balcony, listening to the distant hum of traffic from the nearby St. Mary’s Church and the occasional gull cry. The apartment comes with a fully stocked kitchen, so I was able to whip up a quick breakfast of eggs and sliced ham from the local market on the street. The bathroom? Top‑notch—just like the standards you’d expect from a 4‑star place, but it was the little extra chocolate bar that caught my eye, a sweet treat that the staff thought would make the stay even more enjoyable.

Parking was a minor hassle at first; the building itself doesn’t have a private lot, so I had to use a public parking spot under the nearby plaza. It’s a bit of a walk, but the price is reasonable, and you get a decent spot close to the entrance. The noise level inside the apartment is actually quite low, even though you’re right next to the bustling streets. I found that the building’s soundproofing is solid—just a faint city buzz at night, not enough to disturb my sleep. The best part of the day, though, was the morning coffee session on the balcony. I brewed a pot of strong espresso from a nearby café—Kawiarnia Słonecznik—while the city was just waking up. The air was crisp, the sea breeze carried the scent of salt and fresh bread, and I could hear the gulls overhead. For the peak of summer, the area is lively, with tourists zooming around, but if you’re looking for a quieter time, early autumn or late winter are perfect—they’re not too crowded, the streets are less noisy, and the light is perfect for a quiet stroll down to the waterfront.

Overall, Apartament Baltic View feels like a home base that gives you the comforts of a 4‑star hotel while letting you experience the real rhythm of Gdańsk. I’d recommend it for anyone who wants to stay somewhere that’s not just a place to sleep but a place that lets you breathe the city’s vibe, even if it’s just for a few nights. The building’s location on Starowiejska, the easy check‑in, the apartment’s cozy yet functional design, and that genuine local feel—these are the details that make it stand out. If you’re planning a trip to Gdańsk, put this spot on your list, and you’ll see why it earned a perfect 10 rating from me.
