Apartament Chmielna

Apartament Chmielna Overview

Apartament Chmielna is tucked in the heart of Gdańsk, right on the bustling Chmielna street, just a stone’s throw from the Old Town’s cobblestones and the shimmering Motława River. I remember dropping my suitcase at the front desk, where the staff—mid‑twenties, a mix of friendly locals and seasoned expats—greeted me with a warm “Cześć!” No long lines, no fuss. They handed me a keycard that glowed when you swipe it, and a tiny card with the coffee shop on Przymorze’s corner—“Kawiarnia na Zamku”—which I swear had the best espresso in town. The lobby smelled faintly of fresh pastries from the bakery downstairs, and the walls were lined with local art that gave the place a distinctly Gdańsk vibe, not some generic hotel wallpaper. Check‑in was quick, but the staff still asked if I needed a city map or a recommendation for a late‑night pierogi. That personal touch made me feel like a local, not a tourist.

Inside, the room was a cozy, well‑lit space with a view of the Gdańsk skyline that you’d only get from a few blocks away. The bed had a mattress that was firm yet plush—like a memory foam that remembered how you like your sleep. The bathroom was spotless, with a rain shower that mixed the scent of citrus soap with the faint echo of the city’s traffic. The Wi‑Fi was fast, but you could hear the distant hum of the port and the occasional gull, which added a subtle soundtrack to the evening. The kitchenette was surprisingly functional; I whipped up a quick breakfast of yogurt, granola, and a slice of rye bread from the local market on Gdańska street. The only downside? The balcony railing was a bit warped, so you have to be careful if you’re a clumsy sort of person. The soundproofing was decent, but if you’re a light sleeper, the night shift at the nearby shipyard can rattle the windows when the cranes start up around 2 a.m. Still, the overall noise level is pretty low after midnight—perfect for catching up on sleep.

The real charm of Apartament Chmielna is its proximity to the city’s hidden gems. A quick walk north you hit the St. Mary’s Church, where the towering spire is a familiar sight. If you’re into history, the Maritime Museum and the Gdańsk Shipyard are within a 15‑minute stroll, and you can catch the impressive “Solidarity” statue at the pier. For a less touristy vibe, head east to the Łomża street cafés, where you’ll find a kid’s playground and a community garden—locals love to gather for a summer barbecue on weekends. Parking is a bit of a hassle; the nearest public garage is on Puławska, but you can find street parking on the quieter side streets of Zaspa if you’re willing to pick your spot carefully. And if you’re traveling during the summer, the city can get pretty crowded, but the harbor promenade remains lively and lively. In the early mornings, the whole area feels almost deserted, with only the sound of waves and a few early‑bird chirps. By sunset, you can hear the distant music from a local jazz club on Wspólna Street, and the street lights flicker on, casting a soft glow over the cobblestones. All in all, Apartament Chmielna feels like a home base that lets you feel the pulse of Gdańsk without being lost in the crowd—authentic, practical, and surprisingly cozy for a 4‑star spot.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Gdansk at least two months ahead for major events like St. Dominic’s Fair, ensuring the best rates and prime locations near historic attractions.

• Karolina from United States – 14 September 2024 (6/10)

  It was large, bed was comfortable and we liked that we could do laundry
  
  What could be improved: Unfortunately we could not control the temperature so it was extremely hot inside and we had to open the windows (despite it raining outside and being cold). The street was very loud and even when the windows were closed, we heard the construction, the cars drive by and a car alarm that went off starting at 3 am every 5 minutes (this is not the hosts fault, but noting to share how the sound came through). Additionally the toilet did not flush each time, rather every few hours it managed to work(we didn’t use toilet paper or anything else to clog) and we didn’t hear back on assistance for repair. The cleanliness was a bit questionable, the pillow in the smaller room had body odor and the pillow case wasn’t clean and we found random underwear in the shelves of the closets so we stuffed it below.

• Renata from Poland – 12 September 2024 (10/10)

• Tomasz from United States – 24 August 2024 (10/10)

  Great modern apartment, everything that you need included, very close to historical discrict.
  Little food store and a couple of food places underneath.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing.

• Mateusz from Poland – 5 May 2024 (10/10)

  I did like the interior design, also with rooms placement. Two bathrooms, two bedrooms and spacious living room. There were everything we needed (including underground garage), all facilities were useful.
  
  What could be improved: Smell sticks/soap and shower. All over the apartment you could smell salted caramel, which was intense and too sweet (needed some fresh air). The shower wasn't that bad, but needs some rebuilding. If someone accidentally moved the shower curtain, the water was spilling out from the shower.

• Tomas from Lithuania – 28 June 2022 (7/10)

  Modern apartments, nicely equipped.
  
  What could be improved: .Don't count on two proper bedrooms. One so called bedroom actually is dressing room with a couch not suitable for persons over 180cm. Not even near double bed.
  Noise in the morning starts at 6 am. Delivery of the goods and trash collection. These activities last 1 hour. There is no air-conditioning so windows are open so it seems that all this action is in your room.
