Apartament Bursztynowy

Apartament Bursztynowy Overview

If you’re looking for a spot that feels like a slice of Gdańsk’s heart, I’d say Apartament Bursztynowy is the place to go. I walked up the cobblestones on Spichrzowa, the street that’s always buzzing with street‑food stalls and the scent of fresh pierogi, and the building itself looked like it’d been lifted straight from a postcard—brick façade, those classic windows, a little wrought‑iron balcony that gives a hint of the old‑world vibe. The staff at the front desk had a warm, “Cześć!” as I dropped my bags, and the check‑in was surprisingly quick; no long waits, just a quick chat about the city and a map with a few insider tips. Honestly, the first thing that struck me was the quiet inside—no echo of the traffic outside, even though it’s right next to the Old Town’s hustle. You could hear the distant clatter of the Motława ferry and the occasional sea breeze, but the building’s insulation does a great job of keeping the noise at bay.

The rooms in Apartament Bursztynowy are a mix of modern polish and cozy touches that make you feel at home. The bed’s memory foam mattress is a solid 8/10; I slept through the night, no back pain, which is a big win after a day of walking. The décor—think muted earth tones, wooden floors, a small rug that smells faintly of pine—makes the space feel warm and inviting. The bathroom has a walk‑in shower with a solid‑state rain shower head; the water pressure is decent, and the stocked toiletries are surprisingly luxurious for a 4‑star spot. Wi‑Fi? It’s there, but it can be a bit of a lag—so if you’re a heavy streamer, you might want to bring your own hotspot. The kitchenette is practically a dream for a solo traveler: a small fridge, a kettle, and a coffee maker that actually produces a decent cup. And the view? From the balcony you can see the rooftops of the Old Town and the shimmering river, especially beautiful at sunset.

Parking is a real plus if you’re driving. There’s free street parking on Spichrzowa and St. Marii, but you’ll need to be mindful of the daily permit system. If you’re staying in the summer, the streets get crowded, so arriving early helps. The hotel’s own parking is a paid option but convenient for late arrivals. Noise-wise, you’ll get the occasional tourist chatter at the front desk, but that’s all part of the charm. I would say the only real critique is the Wi‑Fi speed; otherwise, it’s a solid 8.8 on the review sites for a reason. If you’re heading to Gdańsk during the peak season—think July and August—make sure to book early, but the quieter months (late September to early November) are perfect for a relaxed stay. All in all, Apartament Bursztynowy offers that authentic Gdańsk feel without the tourist crowds, and I left with a full belly, a happy heart, and a few great local stories to share.
